What does everyone keep?

Okay, I'll go first:
My only current marine tank is a 65g AGA tank in the living room, along with a (temporary) 50g sump in the basement. This tank has 2x250w 14k EVC w/electronic EVC ballasts on it and will house mostly SPS, along with perhaps some LPS and Zoanthids in the lower recesses. Fish load will be light, though I haven't quite decided what is going in it yet (other than a Venusta angel once it's all set up...).
I'm currently building a 20'x13' fish room in the basement that will be dedicated mostly to coral propagation. I also plan on breeding Banggai cardinals again (I've done it in the past, though this will be on a larger scale).
Coral tanks will consist of 6x45g tanks hooked up to approximately 150/300g (will add sumps as I go) worth of sump space, a 7'x2'x1' fiberglass tub tank, a 32g clam tank, in addition to a rack of 20g tanks for breeding the cardinals and possiblhy holding other fish.
My past coral keeping includes just about everything: Acropora, Montipora, various leathers, Blastomussa, Acanthastrea (lordhowensis and echinata), various Xenia species, Discosoma mushroom, Ricordea (florida and yuma), assorted Zoanthids and Palythoa, Euphyllia....and there's lots more I'm sure I'm forgetting. I've successfully grown and fragged pretty much all of them.
In addition, I've had success propagating Banggai cardinals, lettuce nudibranchs (Elysia sp.), Cerith and Trochus snails and peppermint shrimp. These will be a side hobby once the fish room is up and running.
For freshwater, I also currently have a 38g tank with my pair of albino oscars along with a huge Snow King pleco. There's a 120g tank with these guys names on it waiting to be set up.
So...whatcha got?

So...whatcha got?
My current reef is a 72 gallon bow with mixed soft and LPS corals. A 55 gallon frag tank has been running for a couple of weeks. I plan on concentrating on fragging Ricordia (mainly florida), chalice and blastomussa.
My current fw tanks are both 29 gallon planted tanks with a variety of livebearers (mainly Poecillidae).
Future tanks will include a seahorse cube as well as a Ricordea dominated nano.

One 30g reef (my pride and joy)
12g nano (about to get taken down)
55g native fw with bluegill and bullhead
10g native with iowa darters
20l with newts, aquatic frogs and community fish
10g planted community
other pets
20l with my Whites tree frog
10g with blue spotted salamanders

I have a 75g display tank that contains fish, live rock, and corals. Currently, there are the following items
mushrooms of various species and color
xenia
candy cane
anchor
open brain
GSP
zooanthids of many different color morphs
some of that purple tip monti that mako gives away
I m having moderate success growing the corals as my husbandry is not as disciplined as it should be.
I have had tremendous success at growing the following
cheatomorpha
GHA
cyano
valonia
some funky wiry looking algae
and
flatworms
The rest of the system in the basement this consists of a 60 gal stock tank acting as a sump, an a 20L refugium.
All of that runs through a Mak with about 1000watts of heat to keep it all warm.
Future projects include setting up a kalk reactor on the system and finishing up my own "wall o tanks" (4 x 29 gal system)
I am pretty new to reefkeeping and really enjoy trying to solve the problems and issues that arise from time to time.

I have a 120 gallon with a lot of softies in it and 3 fish, a Purple Tang, a Six Line Wrasse and a juvi Emperator Angel. Also houses the usual assortment of inverts and a few Serpent and Brittle Stars.
In my fish room I have the following:
Twin 30 gallon breeders with a 38 gallon sump set up as a propagation system. One tank has softies and some LPS and the other has at least a dozen different species of SPS.
A 20 gallon long setup to propagate Xenia.
A 10 gallon for growing Briarium polyps.
A 90 gallon still being setup to house SPS parent colonies (I took your suggestion Bri).
I also have a 12 gallon nano upstairs that has some polyps in it. It sort of gets ignored though cause it's in a corner out of the way.
That's it but if it was up to me there would be more tanks in the house. Unfortunately, it is not up to me but I feel lucky to at least have the ones that I do!
