So we all know, in apartments (most) you are limited in space.

Post your tank's dimensions and equipment that you've got setup in your apartments!

GO!

can i go first....
this is an old pic of my four gallon dt... the vase on top is four gallons, with a par 38
and the smaller vase below has a par 30. the below part is plankton culture and larvae raising bits. there's about eight gallons in total....living in an apartment is the reason for the pico-ness. back in the day i had to pay for a ceiling repair that ....well you get the idea.

completely air driven with daily water changes.

In the middle of setting up my 90. You can see my biocube on the right, and my desktop 5g on the desk. Sanded/cut everything for the stand and assembled it in my living room/porch. Most of the cuts were made with a skill saw. The struggle is real my friend.

I'm at work so I can't post a pic, but my 40B has a 10g ATO reservoir next to it and 2 power strips on the walls. That's it. It all fits in to a 4x2 floor space.

No pics handy, but my 60 cube has been in several apartments. Still the best use of a space for a decent size tank in my opinion. Small footprint, good water volume, and easy for 2 people to move.

I have a 40g tall, sumpless and all of my other equipment fits under the stand. I wouldn't mind having a large aquarium in an apartment except for the hasstle of moving it. I'd love a 120, or when I get a house a 210ish. I also don't have much clutter in my apartment. So I wouldn't have a problem with a large tank. No fish room with a large tank would be a hasstle though.

I live in a trailer, does that count? anyways I told my roommates to get on somewhere and put a 55g with a 10g next to it as a pennensula (stand is made for a 90g) cutting the living room in half and told them if they had a problem with it they could move it themselves without emptying the water ;)

I was living in an 875 sq ft apt and had a standard dimension 55 gallon. It wasnt bad at all. Anything larger or square probably wouldn't have worked very well.

I'm running a 75 (48x24x24) with a 30 long sump in my apartment. Have a ro/di unit in the laundry room, skimmer in the sump and 2 kessils on gooseneck mounts.

Equipment in my sig. The build took up a good chunk of the living room for a while:

I've been following your build since you started it, very nice setup. I'll be happy when I can reclaim my living room...
