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

Less than a year for me.

Just shut down and sold off my main display tank (210g with 75g sump) in the fall so the main tank now is under 2 years old (165g Starfire with 90g wide sump). Some of the livestock and rock have been with me for much longer but are now in either the 165g or 2' cube.

Just coming up on 3 years.

Didn't want him to feel left out. There's room for everyone in this hobby.

I get to vote 1-2 years because that's where my current primary (280g) is at .. prior to that though the 115g and 75g tanks it replaced had a few km's on the odometer. 115g at around 6 years and the 75g made it close to 9 years or possibly beyond (I can't remember if it was 2000 or 2001 that I set that one up .. I think it was 2001.). The 75g itself replaced a 50g that was setup around 1998. So while I can't top a 24 year old coral, my oldest fish are my clown pair at around 14 years and my tang is now 11 years in my care. Time flies after a while.. Heck my "new" green gigantea carpet is now at 8 years (purchased 2004). Wow, it doesn't feel that long ago I was telling someone on RC about it being 2-3 years in my care. Holy schnike!

IME, things do get more difficult at the 2 year mark. Accumulation of things, and failure of things. Tearing all the rock down and replacing it counts as starting over!

And I am getting close to finally finish setting up the new Version of this tank ;0) Going to be a pretty sweet system. lots of nice frags are already rdy to go... just needs a little work on the rockscaping...
