How long has your current (primary) tank been running?

[Reef Pilot]

I have a very, very mature 100 g display tank, just over 10 years now running. And some of the fish in it now, are originals from back then.

I inherited it, when we bought the house almost 2 years ago. It was a real mess, overgrown with algae and detritus everywhere. About 6 months ago, installed a bio pellet reactor along with the use of MB7. Nitrates hit as high 100 before, and now down to less than 20. Algae and detritus on rock completely gone. Rock is growing coralline really good. It actually looks pretty clean now. Fish and coral (softies and LPS) all seem happy.

Having said, that I will be totally redoing it in next couple months. Currently setting up a new tank downstairs so I can transfer live rocks, sand and livestock during the process.

Exactly 2.5 years ago today I got water into my 150 gal. Still going strong *knock on wood*

Happy 2.5 anniversary! I'm at 2.5 years as well and mine is 150g too. They're like twins separated at birth!

Ironically (or maybe not), I've had people locally refer to me as "Dez" by accident. Ya, that is as creepy as it sounds..

I setup my 120gal in December 2005 so its over 6 years old now.

You both do look some what a like. I never met Dez before but saw his image on his journal. If you bought a mini cooper, then you'd be twins.

When you guys are taking your long walks on the beach I can barely tell you apart it's crazy.

Reef is at 3 1/2 years but only cause we moved, my bubble coral is in its 4th tank and is 24 years old this year, just about lost it last year when a hitch hiker crab decided it tasted good.
