I have to do a vibration text downstairs, we live a little to close to the tracks here and I wold hate to have a tank fail on me because of my own stupidity, so I want to see how much they will make the water move in the basement before I start into it again. then it will be a long process as I am building my own reactors and skimmer and such, I still have about 1500 bucks of raw acrylic tube in the garage that I need to use up, and 4 reactors and a monster skimmer than just need me to finish them up.

Doug, how close to the tracks are you? and does it move your water?

Closer than you. Sometimes in the summer, it like someone is kicking your bed to wake you. . Stuff here and there vibrates. My granddaughters laugh at the earthquake....BUT...it never bothers my tank. I assume the larger one in the living room will be ok to.

And as for the original question, guess I have been at this longer than many on the board have been alive.....

I know what you mean Doug.

My own first fw tank I bought in 1976. My first sw tank was in 1981. My first seahorse tank was in 1982.

2006 for me,2007 for the wife. many upgrades with maybe one more to come.

The years seem short compared to the money spent. We bought that cute little fish that won't stop growing, darn newbie choices!!!!!!

Hmm... I have run only two tanks...both reef setups. 20 or so years in all. I have some coral that is that old.
