    tanks

    Well, I kinda cheat some as I am re-opening my Aquarium Shop.
    So to answer the question as to what do I have for tanks? I guess the answer would be ALOT!...
    We are running mostly 30-40 & 50 gal breeders on a central system, 32 of those for corals and inverts.
    We are also running the same amount for fish only on annother central system, both systems utlilze 2 150 gal sumps, and 1.5 inch lines from a central pumping station on each system, each capable of moving massive amounts of water if needed from 2-1.5HP pumps.
    In addition we have a 125 show reef tank, with a 80 gal long sump/refugium/critter breeding area. As well as various other sizes in multiple configurations placed around the shop.
    Finally, I am running approx 60 fresh water tanks, each on seperate filtration and in various sizes from 10gals to 55gals.
    And we have in the works a Amazon display system with wild caught tefe' Greens and Putamyo's with a few cardinals and hatchets tossed in for diversion...main plant, Java Fern as it is about all that will grow well in the peat water and low PH.
    A couple of high end fance goldfish displays and various other tanks are being added as the room presents itself..
    I also have a few plant display tanks as I am a plant freak as well...I guess I just expanded my hobby and as luck would have it I found that I could make a living at it...
    I have been at this for more than 30 years and in business for over 10, got out of a corporate venture to re-open as a "one man band" operation...I like it much better that way...
    I will be fully up to speed and running within a month or so providing things go smoothly, course they never do!....
    I am looking forward to new ways of doing things, and new ideas, and new friends in the hobby.
