I would say that our closets are actually bigger than most apartment sized bathrooms. I would even venture to say that they are about the size of a small bedroom almost (our apt. complex is old so it has unusual space). I would not say we are running out of space for tanks, we just have too much other crap that gets in the way...

OOOO this is a fun one left husband and house of 3600 square feet. Moved to Nebraska and have about 1200 including the basement which I rent. Cannot buy anything till this silly divorce finalizes, or he'll own half of it.

Been shopping houses in the 2200-2600 sq foot range. Pre-approved by Wells Fargo have my down, just need that silly divorce.

So hopefully by the end of this summer will be moving into my home and will have even more tank room

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

duh, should have clarified...the downstairs is half the upstairs making avaliable tank footage to be just over 300sq ft....I'd have more space if I didnt have that ugly heavy glass table my sister left ]

3 bdr, 2.5 bath, 2000 sq.ft. Big yard half a dozen big trees.

I had 14 tanks and that crowded us some. Now I have 4. A 75 in the family room, a 29 in the front room a 29 and a 10 in my bedroom.

We live in Montrose Co. It's on the west side of the state. We've got the San Juan mts. to the south and the Black Canyon to the east.

Live in the outer suburb of Melbourne. (14 km away from CBD)

Not sure how many squares is my house,
it's got 2 living areas, 3 bedrooms, 1 dining, kitchen, 2 bath and 1 sun room.
it's right at the top of a hill, a pretty big park just 50 meters away
the lot is about 800 sqmt large

Weekdays: Ridiculously small and overpriced dorm room, basically a closet (8'x12') with painted brick walls, industrial carpet, a piece of wood with a mattress on it and a desk. Costs me $500 a month. ]

Weekends: 650 sq foot apartment with my mom. (Yep I pay rent on that place too...will somebody please tell me why I don't have a real apartment? )

Nanaimo (where nanaimo bars come from) British Columbia Canada eh!
Am currently residing in a 800sqft basement suite, with a 90g, 25g, 10g, and 5g surrounding and filling in any gaps in the living room, but! am moving into my very own FIRST HOME!!! This coming Weekend. Its a 980sq ft mobile home in a park- fully renovated and waiting for my dreams and tanks and maybe a pond!
Best thing of all, the new house will be a nice downpayment on a future house heh
new house

Location: grimy northern industrial town between Liverpool and Manchester, England. Known as Jurassic Park because it's full of cavemen and dinosaurs. Many of whom are my neighbours, and who make Fred Flintstone look like Einstein.

House: 3 bed semi detached brick shack rented from estate agents who are more concerned with trying to find egregious ways of depriving me of my tenancy rights than fixing the major structural defects that have been waiting to be attended to for 2 years.

Living Room: PC beside armchair, with Panda Fun Palace™ and Panda Breeding Aquarium™ on big metal stand just over my shoulder. Lots of fish pics on wall behind aquaria. And lots of art on the other walls to hide the fact that I haven't decorated in eons, because the walls are all crooked and wallpapering them with patterned wallpaper is impossible.

If it wasn't for the logistical nightmare involved in relocating two well-established aquaria to another house, and the lack of funds, I'd move.

I need a house like Cory_Addict's. Badly.






Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Just outside of DC, near college park. 2 story rowhouse, ownded for just over 2 years. Gross area 789square feet, usable area 628 square feet. And I'd never even put a 10 gallon tank on the second floor...it gets too humid in summers.

I have a 50 gallon "pond" (covered) and a 20 gallon in the living room. Both garden and service side yards are small but would take a pond nicely...if only I had outdoor electricity.

2250 sq ft house in Massachusetts.

I only have two of my tanks setup in my house right now, out of the potential four; my 29G planted and my 75G Malawi. Both of those are in my family room, which is fairly large (22' x 22') so plenty of room for those. I could probably fit a few more tanks in there but I don't think my wife would be very receptive to that idea.

We're in a 3rd floor 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Rockville MD (just north of DC).

The apartment has a dining room but the kitchen is large enough to accommodate our table. So the dining room is where our computer desk is, as well as my 30g, double stand with a 29g and a 20l, and a double stand with 2 10g tanks. My 75g is technically in the living room.

I also have a 5g and 6g in the kitchen.

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Good luck on moving off base Nick and hopefully you can find a place with a lot of room for those tanks. Being retired Air Force I'm well aware of where Edwards is and not the best location, but it could be "Why Not" Minot.

I live in the dorms on Edwards AFB, well barracks but the air force calls them dorms, i have one 29 gallon tank, they are going to kick me out soon i have been in the air force to long, once you reach a certain rank and time in service they boot ya off base. wich means more fish for me

My tanks and I reside in my lil 10' x 13' bedroom in my parents' house. I'm running out of room!

I have a double stand with a 20 long and a 10 gallon on it. My dresser holds a five gallon, my filing cabinet holds a 12 gallon, and I have a wrought iron stand holding the four betta "apartments". Hmm... two 2-gallon tanks: one currently used to drown a small piece of driftwood (on top of the plastic drawers that hold all my fish stuff) and one serving as QT for a sick betta girl (on my desk, which is already overflowing with other stuff.

My room is in desperate need of cleaning, which just makes the room look smaller than it is.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

Just curious, but I see from a lot of the posts that many have a limited area where they can put their tanks, maybe because of overall home size or you live with parents, in dorms or whatever. Which I can well relate to having spent 20 years of my life in the USAF and moved a lot, base housing not large, apartments, etc..

Much more fortunate now though, my current house is 2,600 sq. ft. (just myself and my lovely wife) on 1/2 acre of ground in Boise, Idaho. I'm looking at building a separate 900 SF building on my lot this summer which 1/2 will by my office (I own a small real estate appraisal company) and the other half may become a fish houseor possibly a wood working hobby shop, not sure which I want most at this time though.

Thought it would be interesting to see some of the challenges out there because of space limitations, which I fortunately do not have any longer.

Jamie and I live in a 1800 sq ft apt...

Space has become an issue with all the tanks.... Luckily our closets here are the size of most bathrooms, in fact they are big even for most bathrooms. So some of the breeding programs are being moved into the closet.

Our bedroom right now has 4 about to be 5 tanks in it, and the child has 2 tanks in his bedroom.

We really lucked up and found this apt. It is one of the largest in town. Not to mention we have a sauna in our upstairs bathroom.

two bedroom townhome of about 1,012 square feet. Pasadena, TX

That's a nice yard, I wouldn't mind mowing that instead of my cleared 2 1/2 acres (5 acres total)!

I live in a mobile home of approx 900 sq. feet.

Wow...that's one nice house.
I like in a townhouse, no idea about square footage, but it's not that big... I'm gona be moving by June becasue the house is being sold. We're either going to move in with my uncle or get an apartment.

My house is 4700 square feet and has three stories. We live on a hill, which provides excellent views of the surrounding hills and valleys. And believe it or not, but this is a pretty average house around here.

Here is our only yard...
