PotatoFish Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The cure for MTS is to get a pond...maybe 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Learning that it's ok to throw some plants rather than perpetually propagate, might take some pressure off. Good work on the live food production can't say that side appeals to me. I failed to stay with one tank but I can't get many without moving house. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 MTS cures may include: your partner buying new furniture, natural disasters, divorce and other cataclysmic events. It is better to learn to live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's only a problem if your significant other calls it a syndrome.....otherwise it's a "dispersed fishroom" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawafuoshi Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 My MTS has stalled at 3 tanks, but the 14G cube only serves as a water reservoir for the ATO to the 20L. For one, I have run out of space on top of the dedicated shelf. Secondly, I rather try improving the two planted tanks little by little than have to deal with a mess of many tanks. Third, I do not enjoy water changes, and two tanks are enough work to stay consistent. But I admit, I have been eyeing the cube recently asking myself, how to plant or stock it should I decide I do not need the automatic top off system.

Cleveland M Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 I just got permission to build a tank rack in the living room to get all tanks together in one spot. I need to get this done this weekend before she realizes that this is only going to free up space for more tanks. 😜 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland M Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 OK I am probably a dead man. I bought all the stuff to build the rack however... A group I'm in just got a post for garage cleanout. 2 40gal breeders 1 55gal 1 10 gal and tons of equipment for $100. OTW to pick it up and I'm sure I'm sleeping on the couch tonight. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
