I set up my fish room on day one and it was perfect until day 2 and then day 3. I forget what day I'm up to and what has been moved more than once.

Well I’m going to pick up a 100 this Sunday and a 180 next Sunday. I’m thinking about picking up a 90 gallon saltwater set up the 3rd Sunday but I’m not sure yet. I’ll be picking up another 125 the 4th Sunday.
The longer time goes on the more mad I become it seems. Not sure if I’m even going to be able to set up all these tanks but I’ll die trying.
5’ 100 gallon acquired
Since someone brought it up in another thread, I’m currently in my collection phase where I’m just buying up all the tanks I can. Once this is over in 3 weeks I’ll be in my planning phase where I’m figuring out various things such as how I’m going to re seal the ones that need it, the stands, the positioning, etc.
Once that is done I’ll be in the execution phase where I’ll be building the stands, re sealing, and setting up the tanks.

Well, bad news and good news.
The bad news is I left a lid off this morning and my eel decided that the water was a bit to wet for him.
The first good news is I got all of my new acquisitions together and they aren’t taking up as much space anymore. The tanks are 4x 125’s and 1x 100. The short tank is a 55 I’m going to get rid of soon.
The second good news is the person who sold me the 100 today connected me with someone who’s selling a 7’ x 2’ x 2’ and assuming it will fit in my brothers car I will be getting it in a few weeks.
The third good news is I might be getting another tank that is “at least” 7’, don’t know the dimensions as the seller hasn’t gotten back to me yet.
The fourth good news is I’m getting the 180 this sunday.

I’m just a few tanks away from getting my own hoarders episode ??
It would take some convincing but I’ve honestly thought of unbolting a seat from his car.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to all of the Wallace’s shoehead catfish I can have with these tanks.
Once again I learn an important lesson or perhaps I should say *re* learn it.
The fish tank gods seem to think I have enough tanks, I disagree.
I found a 125 for $100 2 hours after it was posted, sent a message ready to go get it after work, I checked it 2 hours later after work, sold.... The same seller is selling a 220 for 650 however I doubt it’ll still be available when I’m able to get it

Slow down grasshopper
There is no slowing down for the mighty @fishhead0103666 ! Super stoked for when the time comes, is it gonna be nothing but shoeheads?
Hey, if you look at it in a certain way then I am going slow. I’m only going to be setting the tanks up one at a time so that’s going slow right? Technically I only have 2 125’s since 2 of them can’t really be used as one has awful seals that I don’t trust even with a resealing and the other is crack, and a 100. Sure I’ll be getting a 180 and a 7’ x 2’ x 2’ but that’s not excessive.
The plan is for the vast majority of the fish to be Wallace’s shoehead catfish. I do have 25-27 ropefish, 1 rhino pleco, and 11 clouded ghost knifefish. I may be forgetting one or two fish.
Anyway I’m thinking about getting rid of all of my 4 foot tanks in order to be able to have more 6’ tanks however I still have my ropes, knives, and rhino pleco. I may end up selling the ropefish but the knives and pleco are here to stay. I was fully planning on making a biotype for the ropefish however with the way I’ve changed my plans I don’t think it’ll be good to keep them.
I’m thinking I’ll just make a stand that has a 125 on top and my 100 on bottom and put the knives and rhino pleco in there. I can see the 100 being 1’ shorter than the 125 causing slight issues regarding the stand but nothing I can’t manage to make work.
