01 one Burlington Ontario, Canada. One tank became six tanks very quickly. I experimented making tanks and filters and one such filter had a slight design flaw and emptied half the contents of a 20 tall onto the (oak) floor. All night long I'd heard weird noises - it was he floor boards warping. The floor was replaced and suddenly I had a fishroom in the basement, Thanks dad! 02 two Burlington Ontario, Canada. I'd ramped up to about a dozen tanks in the basement. Then I discovered girls as a teenager and the tanks dried up for a few years. 03 three Burlington Ontario, Canada. I worked for a year between High School and University and during that time rehydrated the tanks and acquired a few more. These all got sold when I moved to California. 04 four Redondo Beach Los Angeles, California, USA. I lived in old Torrance when I first lived in LA and acquired four 40 gallon long tanks in the few months I lived there; I moved to Redondo and was there for about a year or so and had 6 or 7 tanks or so set up in the kitchen where a dining table was probably supposed to go.

05 five Palos Verdes Los Angeles, California, USA. I lived here for almost 9 years and a dozen tanks in the living room. Everyone loved them! Almost. 06 six Toronto Ontario, Canada. In 1989 I moved back to Canada and lived in Toronto for six or seven years. During that time I only had a couple of tanks; it was a small rented house with just no room for more than a few tanks. 07 seven Bannockburn Ontario, Canada. We moved out to the country in 1996; I had a fish room again and began collecting tanks and ramping up again; I'd haphazardly assembled a few 2's, 3's, 5's and a 10 which were sitting on a coffee table in my office. 08 eighth Bannockburn Ontario, Canada. The coffee table wasn't working out well and I'd accumulated a barnfull of tanks not and had to build something to hold them all. This setup is what all the pictures are of here; at around this time digital cameras were available. Previous to this I'd taken about 7 photographs with a film camera, that was all to change. These few photos are of the construction of the tank stand above and the only (partial) photo of the whole thing below:
