Whoa! That's inspiring! Do you have pics of the geezer?? ( the tank, not you ).

Current set up is at 5 months now after building a new tank at the end of the summer but the same rock, sand and livestock has been with me for about 3 years.

I had a 10gallon fowlr for 2 years the. Upgraded to a30 and 3 months upgraded to my current 55 Wich has been up for 4 months and will either be broken down in 2 months or will be. Coming with me when I move to st Catherine's it all depends on what I get for a place to live and costs

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...

26 gallon for almost 1 yr and 55 for 1 month.....soon upgrading to 120, I was planning on putting contents of both tanks into the 120 but just received some advice to keep the 26 running

I have moved most of the livestock over to my other tanks over the last few months and just run frag pucks in their final curing stage in it, so I am afraid it is rather anticlimactic. I might have some old pics kicking around of a couple of years back, I'll take a look around,

Freshly set up since Christmas 2011. Previous tank was about a year and before that 3 years. The list goes on and on.

I have a very, very mature 100 g display tank, just over 10 years now running. And some of the fish in it now, are originals from back then.

I inherited it, when we bought the house almost 2 years ago. It was a real mess, overgrown with algae and detritus everywhere. About 6 months ago, installed a bio pellet reactor along with the use of MB7. Nitrates hit as high 100 before, and now down to less than 20. Algae and detritus on rock completely gone. Rock is growing coralline really good. It actually looks pretty clean now. Fish and coral (softies and LPS) all seem happy.

Having said, that I will be totally redoing it in next couple months. Currently setting up a new tank downstairs so I can transfer live rocks, sand and livestock during the process.
