Tank Progression

ca1ore · 10/01/2017, 09:35 PM

Was thinking the other day about how many tanks I've had over the years, and how short a period I had most of them .... Mostly upgradeitis, but also some problems as well:

1977-1989 - 125 FW (though dry 1979-1985 during college years)
1985-1987 - 30high FOWLR
1988-1992 - 75 reef
1992-1997 - 250 reef
1997-2004 - 120 reef
1990-2009 - 180 FW planted to 2004; reef to 2009
2013 - 90 reef
2013-2017 - 265 reef
2017-? - 450 reef

Ran my world class 180 for almost 20 years, but nothing else for more than 5.

At least your moving in the right direction! I expect to see you starting a build thread in 2020 for a 700+ gallon

Some day, someone on here is going to buy a small island with a lagoon and just make it into a giant reef tank.
