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.

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.

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.
