20 gal - 24
...and a bunch of odd-shaped/volume tanks.
That's about 19,250 gals running. 30k-32kgals total. Just a lightweight compared to many of our members.

Some tanks are 2-5 years old. Oldest tanks are around 15-20 years old.

Been in the hobby for nearly 45 years.
Im assuming the 30 total 450 gallon tanks are not glass/acrylic show tanks. Are you talking like plastic tubs? If they were glass/acrylic that would be an amazing spectacle worthy of my desktop wallpaper ;):D
