Hi, I was wondering if the exo terra 18*18*18 would be big enough for one adult crested gecko or many hatchlings for my future breeding projects.

You can. But I think they're much happier in the larger one- go for the 18x18x24! A 12x12x18 would work for hatchlings, as long as you didnt overcrowd it and seperated them once they were larger. I usually keep up to 4 hatchlings in the 12x12x18 them until they can be sexed, and then seperate them.

I didn't want to create a new thread, so I'll just ask here. I will probably have a 40x40x60cm big tank (according to a translator, it makes around 25 gallons) and I was wondering if I could raise 3 geckos there? I suppose I will cover 2 walls with a cork, so that there will be some shelves etc. (I mean I will create some more space).

Oy I hate the "Is this tank big enough?" question.. You can find people telling you everything, and you'll get some telling you what they believe is the only way to do things based on the fact that they were told so and failed to question the source.
Geckos live in the wild, no cage is big enough. I'm not going to get into that too much but use your own good judgement when deciding. Would you like to be cooped up in a cage the size of which your providing? Does it give enough exploratory options and exercise space? Can the gecko at least stretch out in every direction without being cramped?

Well you are half right, i know i wouldnt want to be left in a cage. Right now i am an owner of six baby crested geckos, and if we put them in a big cage they would die because they get lost and cant find there food/ water, in the wild most of them will probably die before its even hatched, because they get eaten or shoken up to much.So we are actualy keeping them safe even if they arent too happy, if they have a loving owner and a safe and nice place to live im sure thats going to make everyone happy. And them.

I had one lone crestie in a habitat 4' x 2' x 6' and he never had trouble finding his food.

Well all geckos are different maybe you were just lucky.

Well, food is everywhere for them, waterdroplets on the leaves (because it rains there like every day) and bugs are EVERYWHERE in the rainforests, so its qute easy for them, they just have to look around them.
