MTS, my favorite subject, hehe. With 13 tanks in the house and 53 in the garage, I swear I don't even know what MTS is. Anyone want some left over 20 longs that just arent big enough to fit the racks? The wife saw them and didn't realise they were way to small for my needs, otherwise there would be 58 in the garage, hehe.

fishyhelper... why don't you take whatever is empty, put it on a smaller stand - upside down, cover it in a table cloth and make a surface. If you have something smaller but wide, that should help with the "No room for a table issue".. just be really careful with what you set on it.

then agian, who realllly needs furniture anyway?

I have 10 MTS in my 40 gal, they are not common ones.
I think Theresa M has the same type and posted a recent pic. White shell with purply stripes and a 'rough' shell.

Have regular MTS in my 10 gal breeding like mad.. They will be given away when I go to the 15.

I guess I have MTS but on a smaller scale (small aquariums/bowls) because I live in a one bedroom apartment. I have 2 x bowls, 1 x Aqua Vase, 1 x 2.5G, 1 x 3G, and 1 x 6G. Looking to add another 2.5G this weekend and maybe a 55G or 75G after christmas.

I'm on the MTS bandwagon here although at quite a bit smaller scale thatn the previous posts. I have 3 two gallon betta tanks, one at work, and two at home. A 10 gallon tank with an ACF (African Clawed Frog) and an overly aggressive Dwarf Gourami, a 30 gallon community tank, and looking to get a 55 or more for Christmas. I was also studying my limited space the other day trying to figure out where I could set-up a 20 gallon platy tank. :%)
I think I may be going to inherit a 10 from afriend that I'll use as a QT tank (yeah, right)

Tanker,

Where do you live? I really shouldn't get any more fish tanks right now but who knows......

houston,

What kinds of fish do you keep in the classroom. This is good info for me to know here in the next couple of years...

We're jumping on the MTS too. 75gl, 55gl, 29gl & 10gl. This is from buying fish @ Wal-Mart they fail to tell you are going to be monsters We love our fish and each time we move to a larger set up we promise to sell the last tank, but end up setting it up with a different kind of aquarium environment.

My 100 gallon, 55 gallon, and my feeder quarantine tank took over my dining room. I moved the dining room table and put my python terrarium on it. I put my 27" tv in storage so I could move my bearded dragon into the bedroom. I have a baby Iguana in a 10g on top of my 61" bigscreen. A 25 gallon tall next to the couch with the baby boa, and a 40 gallon hex next to my bed. I'm running outta space and will have to move outta my 2br apt. and into a house with a garage (plenty of space for more goodies)
