I have a garage fall but I assume you mean
how many am I gonna be using in my current
endeavors. A number doesn't tell much so
here are short descriptions.

One 18" diameter, 28" high cylindrical tank ~42 gal.
Cool show tank in gym/den visible down stairwell from
living room couch.

One 80 gal high 48" x 12" x 28"
This tank is my masterpiece. I've never seen a nicer
FRESHWATER tank. It 2/3 full with a waterfall filling up
the top 1/3 with intermittent fog every 20 minutes.
There are loads of live plants and moses in and out of the water.

Using the same filter as the 80 is my 1st breeding rack.
6 - 10 gal
3- 15 gal

The new rack will be the same (6 & 3) but on a new filter.
The 2 custom tanks each have their own filters built into the
tanks and are about 38 gal.

So the final count is:
12- 10 gal
6- 15 gal
2- 38 gal
1- 80 gal
1- 40 gal

This doesn't include quarantine tanks that I setup
and take down as needed. Uh, what was the question?
Oh yeah, uh 22 tanks. Last week a store drilled 3-
15 gal tanks for me on the wrong side. I took one
out of the 3 for the regular price. I got the other
two yesterday for just the tank price. Normally,
they charge $20 for the hole. So, I might setup one
more smaller rack as an end cap to the one I'm doing
now. By the time I'm done all the new tanks and equipment
will run me about $3,000. The babies I have now are
sellable for about $1,600. I expect to be profitable
by q3 '98. Normal safe harbor does apply.
Oh, I added one more gif to my profile.
