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

I was just curious and wanted to take a current snapshot to see how long people have had their current tanks running. If you have multiple tanks, you can decide which one is your "primary" tank. I would guess the one that's been running the longest though :-)

I hit 5-6 years but when I thought about it a bit more it's been just over 4 years since I first set up my 230g reef tank.

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.

My 33g has been running 13y (1998) with the same substrate and power head (running 24/7 without a complaint ever!) as a primary pump for a hang on sump I bought in 1991. I have grown a little since then with my main 90g running 6y and my 33 demoted to a qt tank.
