How long have you been in the hobby?

[EyeReef]

I know we have new to experienced reefers here. Just curious what the spread was.

25+ for fresh and 2 years salt. started with a 29 then a 90 mix and now in the process of a 120 sps dominated.

 

[P.Olsen]

21 or so years, started with a 55 and a HOB overflow into a completely undersized filtration system, course substrate and a heavy bio load..... boy did I learn the hard way!!

 

[Smitty]

[ColaAddict]

I have had SW and reef bits and parts since the mid 80's...in one shape or form.....with maybe a year or two break somewhere in there...so... 25+ years...I have had FW water on and off my entire life.

My largest tank ever is my current 72 bow front reef....which I have had since April of last year.

One thing I know.... I am always asking questions, sharing ideas.... learning from others...and I will never no it all. I also have seen this hobby evolve amazingly in the last few years.

25 years ago I had my first saltwater tank. Back then, things were much different, had it about a year. Got back in when we remodeled out kitchen with a 14 biocube. It progressed into MTS over the last 6 years. I have just downsized to this original biocube, a 50 on an antique ice box both in my kitchen and a 120 in my living room. Took down the 40 breeder and 15, consolidated all into the 120. Maintenance was beginning to be a chore.

 

[Crooks]

A little over two years and getting pretty close to 1000 gallons.

 

[tenvibes]

about 1.5 years in...

 

[soggy pocktets]

7 yrs and a gazillion $$$$

 

[mr_z]

Freshwater for 6 months. Saltwater since Jan. 1st 2011 and so far no casualties except for a nasarius snail. So I know I'm doing somthing right.

It all started about 6 years ago, when my daughter's goldfish jumped out of the tank and didn't respond to CPR. Decided to get a small 12 gal reef and that led to a 29 gal reef and that led to a 120 gal salt. I have had the 120 gal reef plumbed through the floor to the basement with a refugium and sump and 3 other independent assorted (12, 14 and 29 gal). Working on building LED lighting system as we speak. Still in planning, designing stage and will keep updating when I start building it.






You don't have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep!

 

[tenvibes]

[Saltpete]
