I know what you mean Doug.

My own first fw tank I bought in 1976. My first sw tank was in 1981. My first seahorse tank was in 1982.

2006 for me,2007 for the wife. many upgrades with maybe one more to come.

The years seem short compared to the money spent. We bought that cute little fish that won't stop growing, darn newbie choices!!!!!!

Hmm... I have run only two tanks...both reef setups. 20 or so years in all. I have some coral that is that old.

Holy jumping, I just did the math. I started collecting equipment for my first 90 gallon reef in late 2008, but had two 180 and 20 gallon planted freshwater for 2 years before that.

I keep thinking I'm still new at this.

That is very cool! Any pics of the corals?


I have been in the hobby for 3 yrs now. Started with my 75G and jumped to a 180G after 2 yrs. I think that will be my only upgrade for a long, long time.

wow i didnt realize so many people upgraded that much! Ive had my 75g set up for just about 4 years now. the only upgrades i made were to it. canister to sump, skimmer, PC to LED lights. I love the hobby and it also does a bit to satisfy the tech geek in me too.

3 years. I lost interest for a bit and did the minimum for upkeep. My interest is back and I have plans to bring in some new fish next week.
