Time in..

[Tom R]

I have 2 Display Tanks in my system.

The 180G was set up in January of 2003 when I moved into my current house.

The 125G was set first set up in 1995 in my old home. When I moved into my current home in January 2003 I moved its contents of the 125G to the new 180G just set up in my new home. In March of 2003 I completed the move of my old 125G by adding it to the display in my new home.

One could easily say that I am in for the long haul.

I got a sea turtle off Ancient Mariner on Fraser st. in Vancouver in 1973 that I raised until it started chasing my 140$ Flame Angel so I gave it to Vancouver aquarium and they raised it to breeding age then sent it to Japan for breeding. It was a Hawksbill and time flys

It was maybe 3" as for age not sure but it was about the size that we let go in Ixtapa

Ive been doing salt for 5 years now, but had freshwater tanks a few times in the past. In fact my sump is made out of an old 55 gallon long that was my freshwater tank previously. I didn't realize my reef was 5 years old until I opened my tank journal recently and saw the dates.

I remember reading somewhere awhile back that the average reef enthusiast has been in the hobby for 18 months. Of course, when polling an online community you don't get a real accurate representation. I think you will find a good many on here over 5 years.
