[revhtree]

*This is for your main display for all you MTS peeps!

I'm sitting here wondering what the average display size aquarium of our forum members is so it's time for us to find out! Yes we've asked before but things change, people upsize and downsize etc..

So please vote and let us know! Share a photo for extra credit!

After you vote please make a post in this thread telling us about any future upgrades or downgrades!

40 Breeder currently, upgrading to a 75 at the end of the month!

 

[ajhudson15]

I have a 220 gal plus 2 75 gallon tanks going

 

[BestMomEver]

Just upgraded to a 90. I really want a 180 or 220 but I was lucky that hubby let me get the 90. There’s always a chance but it will be a few years!

I would guess if you add up the gallons it's probably in the 150 gallon range - brought up by the monster tanks.
The average person is probably around 75 gallons with lots of 90,120,150 gallon tanks as well as 40g breeders, larger nano's ect.

Incidentally I call my main display "Average Reef" since it's about average size although slightly unusual dimensions despite being a stock tank : 60x18x24 = 112 gallons.
I also have a 90 gallon a 55 gallon and a 10.

I have had all different size systems set up over time. I personally have had more 75 gallon systems then other sizes. 5 Total 75 ish systems. I have had smaller and larger in the past also

90 gal tank still young. Plan to stay with this tank for a couple of years. Nothing to change. Here is a pic as well

Should we consider individual tanks, or full systems? I have a 75g, 50g and 10g (being upgraded to 20L). That would make my "average" tank size about 50g... but my overall, tied together system counting sump would be roughly 165g.

no current plans for upgrading.

I preferred to ride on the waves instead of under them.

 

[WVNed]

My 75

I have ordered a 240 from Custom Aquariums.

 

[coral-boss]

currently a 4ft 120g, maybe a 300g upgrade in the future

 

[SPR1968]

Mine is around 650 litres so around 170 US gallons I think

But I have ‘very big’ urges to go huge but am restraining myself for the time being! Lol

We’re’s or what’s my extra credit then?! Lol

 

[Js.Aqua.Project]

(20+60+80)/3 = 53.3

Would love to go 250+ but I don't see that in the near future

This is an interesting observation. As I read the initial post I was wondering if the average would be pulled down by the popularity of mini/micro reefs. May need to add mean, mode, median, and range to the analysis - good stuff!

it's so much smoother a hundred feet down.....

29 gal with 5 gal sump nem tank. From video camera I have by the tank. It's nice to have e a relaxing thing to watch when at work.

Before it got salty

Future tank is 10 gal AIO for my son's first tank he will do everything and care for.

 

[steelwrap]

Just upgraded to a waterbox 100.3 total volume about 97 gal. Very happy with it but also wish I wouldve went with at least a 4' instead of 3'

 

[rogersb]

20 -> 46 -> 60 -> 75 -> 220 -> 125. All those tanks 4 ft and under were too small. That 220 was a chore to do everything in. The 125 is the perfect tank.

 

[Seanislav]

300 gallon DT for me. No plans to change anything other than possibly upgrading the 32 gallon Biocube in the living room.

 

[hart24601]

Got a 34 deep blue nano, but it's got a 150g stock tank sump in the basement! So it's a mega nano, lol.
