![]() My first shot at salt was a 10g with a blue damsel. That was about 8 years ago. Moved to a 45g "reef" and added a trigger and a tang. The tang is still with me after 7 years!

![]() My first Aquarium is the 180g I'm running right now. Believe it or not, I never even had a freshwater system before this. Zero Fish Experience to 180g Mixed Reef.... it's been quite a ride. lol

![]() 75g with a fluval filter and zero experience. No freshwater experience either. 75 was a total failure and an excercise in frustration that almost did me in. I'm either brave or stupid (no additional comments required) but I then jumped into a 230g with a 77g fuge/sump that is still up and running but it has since spawned and produced a 190g, a 44g. a 20g, a 24g and a 12g and is soon have another big baby with my 300g cube gets up and running.
