Lets see... Started with a 10g(because I was repeatedly told bigger = better for starting, nano= harder) so I thought, heck, If I can do this, I can do anything! (Little did I know....). That was.... wow, 2.5 or 3 years ago?(I dont even remember, lmao) It cycled fast, (2 weeks), I ended up with beautiful rock, tons of corals, no algae problems, a few snails and hermits, and only 2 20W PCs, in a 10g. So 2.5 months later, a 33 came along, and before it even had more than the 10g's contents plus extra live rock in it, I had a 75g on the way. My current set-up. In the next month, I have a 144g comming along, and everything is going to be done "right" this time. No cheaping out! Haha.

A 5.5gal. Cleaner shrimp and a yellow tail blue damsel (who is still with me) three years ago. The tank is now the sump on my 16gal. It was really cool because it was in the bedroom and the lights (2 9watt screw in coralife CF) were on a wireless remote.

Hmmm. Tough to answer.
Technically, my first SW was a small...20g?...30g?....way back in....'75?...'76?, but I failed miserably and it was up and running for all of one or two months. Originally, it was my first FW tank and then tried SW with it when I upgraded FW to a 60g. It was so long ago I hardly remember a thing about, other than I didn't know what the heck I was doing  . I was only like 15 at the time.Otherwise....the 135g Reef I started in Feb 2005....which is now a FOWLR and the Reef is a 180g. Cheers  ,
