How long did it take you to upgrade from your first tank!?

60 cube over 25 years ago, life got in the way and sold it to a friend. Now 125 and looking at a 75 for a sea pony tank.

A year almost to the day! I started with a 46 Bow with all HOB and in tank equipment. I am now cycling an IM 50 Lagoon AIO. So not much of a water volume upgrade but a much nicer footprint and I am loving that I can get all of the clutter out of the display. Can't wait to be able to move everyone over to the new tank.

I started 6 years ago with a Biocube 32, 2 months ago upgraded to a RED Sea 250, now I am regretting not getting a Red Sea 425xl...... Maybe this one will not las long

Have a 13.5g nano (since April) and I will be upgrading to at least a 75 just as soon as I can rub 2 nickels together!

4 months. Got a 24g AIO for a birthday. Realized quickly that corals are my favorite and I needed more room. Got 70g and 20g sump. Would go bigger if space allowed.

And what was your first tank? And do you still have it?

55 gallon freshwater tank from petco with a HOB filter , 1 week into my first saltwater tank i forced myself into a reef ready tank with a sump skimmer and UV thanks to reef2reef i was right on with the information i learned very fast

25 years ago my first marine tank was a 35 tall pentagonal shaped that went from fresh to marine with canister filter with HOB paddles if you remember those and powerheads atop the tubes for the under-gravel filter. Needless to say a good freshwater tank doesn't always make a good marine tank, especially when you overstock it like I did! Thankfully all of that is GONE.

No idea! Had my first tank when I was 8 …. now I am 59. Brain cells that stored those memories have been reused for more recent stuff.
