Currently right now. I have 2 tanks. 29g which was supposed to be my QT tank but after working on my 75g some it's now got some xenia and GSP in there along with some rocks. I'll be working on getting another one setup here in the future. Is it a pain, I wouldn't really say it's a pain, it just takes some more time and some money. Additional salt, etc. etc. etc.

I currently have a 90 fowlr, 12 nano reef, and a 20 hospital.
No problem with cleaning. I love my setups and do the maintenance at the same time just a little longer.

I have a 55g reef
55g newly set up frag tank (will be adding clownfish soon---I only have a couple frags)
12g nano currently using for chaetomorphia harvets (just sold some too)---supposed to be my QT tank
I also have a 180g FW that houses 9 clown loaches and about 30+ rainbowfish and a few tetras
AND...av29g FW housing a pleco whih I will be breaking down soon
I like maintainng my tanks. It is what I call my "stress relief." So no, for me, it is not a pain.
Regardless of FW or SW, reef, it takes time, and if you don't hae the time or enjoy what you are ddoing, forget it. It will be a pain for you.
I don't work, so besides my art and this aquaria hobby, what else do I have to do??? =)
People must think I am nuts to have so many tanks.

I have a 90, 75, 55, 25 all mixed reef with anemones, and a 20g hospital tank. I also have a few more waiting to be set up that I am currently collecting equipment for as time/money allows.

I have a 120 gallon and a 3 gallon. The 3 gallon requires more maintenance than the 120.
