My 90 has been setup since May 2009 so it is 2 1/2 years old (I voted 2-3 years), but some of the rock and corals came from my old 33 gallon tank that I setup in BC in Dec 2006, and moved to SK in June 2009. So I guess some of my tank is a little over 5 years old.

Cool! Would love to hear more about your tanks, and see some pics! In another thread of course...maybe you could make a thread in Tank Journal forums?

My 180 rolled over 2 years this month,. Yay!! The first year was fun, second year not so much as I didn't have as much time for the tank. Hopefully I can tweak things a bit and get it back to its former glory. Before that my 90 was up for 5 years (but with 3 moves so I don't know if that counts).

My 150 was made from my old 55. The 150 has been 1.5 years, the 55 was up for 3 years before that.

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..

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.
