Wow!!!That is an amazing collection for a hobbyist :clap::clap: I for one can appreciate the dedication that's required to keep so many tanks in tip top condition, and you still find time to help others on the forum...I take my hat off to you :thumbup:

I try to do water changes on every tank once a week. I have them on a spreadsheet and I also write in when I last cleaned the canisters or I will forget. I try to do a few every day. Sometimes I get behind but throw myself into a good days worth of it every so often.

The dirty zeb tank number 18 got a wc tonight but fed up and got out when I noticed in tank 24 a L066 has his very first log of eggies and a pair of red whiptails were playing up in a log above him too. :)

I don't w..w..., nup cant say it, retired. :D

As much as love plecs that pic of the Clown trigger is the snazzle!:thumbup:

My new empty tank is sitting is sitting in the kitchen awaiting me to pull me finger out and set it up. Its waiting on a clown trigger and an moray(although cannot decide which one).


Well done anyway. :clap:

Um Wow!!!

Wow that is an amazing amount of tanks. Thanks for making me feel better. I'm on to my 5th tank :whistle: and my kids won't stop teasing me about it!

Where on earth do you keep them all in your house? I am very impressed at your clean tanks. I absolutely love my tanks, but particularly my discus tank is a hell of a lot of work. The other tanks I only need to do water changes once a week but the discus I need to do 100L every 3-4 days. But, when people come into my house and see the tank the looks on their faces makes it all worth while :woohoo:

I have found you are never quite satisfied with your own tanks, I have heavily planted tanks and am constantly cutting back and fixing things to make it look just so. Then, in a few weeks it has all changed again. All part of the fun.

I'm just in the process of setting up my first dedicated breeding tank to one species... the L046 Zebra and I am very excited about it. Nice change to do a different kind of set up dedicated to the one species. Although to start with I will be getting in some black neons until they grow old enough to breed and perhaps a farowella cat for algae. I have plenty of cherry shrimp so they will be going in too, I don't mind if the zebs keep the population down. All good there...

Anyway, I know this is an old post but I found it so impressive thought I would add my two cents :thumbup:

Cheers
