    People ask me how is it possible.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. So here it is:

    10 tanks.jpg

    On the far right hand side, next to the window is my 4 ft. Next to it are 6 nano tanks in two rows

    On the left hand side, are 3 tanks: 30inch above; below is a 16in and 14in

    That makes 10. Half of my mind says Enough!!!!! The other half say: "Still got space!!"

    And on the extreme whole left hand side...is a 5ft tank!!! New, never used and given to me. 12mm crystal glass on 3 sides!!! Every time I see a picture of nice big tanks, I dream of filling it up. Here's how it looks:

    5 ft.jpg

    Hi...its 74 inches as seen in the photo. But the top wooden part can be removed if you want an exposed tank. That would lower it to 68 inches

    Hi,

    What are you planning to fill the tank with? It looks tempting to me if I have that extra space. I would create an Amazon biotope and keep some altums and heckels.

    But your room is not surprising. It happens to all fish geeks who get way too deep into the aquarium hobby.

    Perhaps this video will give you an idea of how to keep more tanks and fish.



    Have a nice day!

    It definitely will be a low tech one... it will be too expensive to set up with ADA soil, chiller, proper lights etc. It will be something similar to this thread

    You are EVIL!!!

    Re: 10 Tanks In My Room!!!

    Here are the tanks in my room:

    9 IMG_1283.jpg

    Nano tank 23X17X15 cm....there is old ADA Amazonia soil underneath the rocks, monte carlo and hair grass. Hope it is enough to sustain them!!


    10 IMG_1284.jpg

    Another nano....20X30X25 cm (estimated only !!) I really didn't know what I was thinking of when I did this...no thoughts, plan or anything. It will probably be ripped up some time soon.

    Any ideas? Let me know

    The other 8 tanks akan datang!!

    Lol....AQ says I have exceeded my quota. So I am posting links instead

    1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/23534778@N06/22606602906/in/dateposted-public/

    This tank will be rescaped cos I really don't like it. 19X17X15 cm

    2 https://www.flickr.com/photos/235347...posted-public/

    I think this one has potential to be developed. Let me know if you have ideas. 19X17X15cm

    3 https://www.flickr.com/photos/23534778@N06/22009848404/in/dateposted-public/

    30 inch tank....I just put up the moss wall behind...but the lights is meant for 24 in tank though so some parts do not get enough light. The carpeting is coming along nicely though

    4 https://www.flickr.com/photos/23534778@N06/22619076882/in/dateposted-public/

    Playing around with white sand in the foreground to see what it looks like. Original plan was for monte carlo carpet foreground, but since I already had another tank like that, I am trying this

    14X12X10 in


    5 https://www.flickr.com/photos/235347...posted-public/

    My first attempt at fully carpeted tank. But the monte carlo got infested by some ugly weed, so that made it a bit disappointing.

    18X14X10 in

    6 https://www.flickr.com/photos/235347...posted-public/

    My 4X1.5X1.5 ft tank. Originally used to just keep plants that I had atfer I decided to go more for small tanks. Hardly anything is planted into the substrate; most are tied to rocks, driftwood or just squeezed into cracks and slits.

    7 https://www.flickr.com/photos/23534778@N06/22619079322/in/dateposted-public/

    This was originally for my betta but it kept going into the cave and I was afraid it would tear its fins. So now its home to 4 neon tetras. Its a 23X17X15 cm tank

    8 https://www.flickr.com/photos/235347...posted-public/

    I have no idea what is this tank about. Going to rip it up soon

    So this is my 16X12X10 in tank. Love how the MC carpeted...but sadly affected by ugly Gibba.

    Still got space! Swap the 3 tier rack in front of your bed to a 4 tier rack having the same width as your bed facing you while you're laying on your bed . Might have to scrap that shelf of teddy bears though. I dare say doing this alone might up your tanks to 15 no.s

    Re: 10 Tanks In My Room!!!

    Excuse me, Azman, I don't mean to pour cold water on your setup, but would strongly suggest you partition your place to create a proper fish room. In this way, your life will be much easier to manage.
    With so many tanks, the chances of an eventual leak is increased. Hope you will consider.
    With best regards.

    Re: 10 Tanks In My Room!!!

    2ft tank is okay but 3ft is better.
    If I were to choose only one size for all the tanks, it will be 3ft.

    But of course if I were to keep Pacus, I will certainly end up with a 5 or 6 footer.
    I find Red Belly Pacus very fascinating fish to keep.
