Looking for oldest reef you currently have running. Seems something always happens in time to shut them down. Would love progression pics if you have them. My tank is undocumented and less then six months old.
 
Running 51 years. It is in the 3rd glass and I moved it 3 times. The longest it was in one place was 40 years. Everything was put in vats including most of the water and moved in a few hours.



This was maybe 25 years ago.



I don't remember when this was.


This blue devil is over his nest of eggs in about 1973




This upper picture appeared in FAMMA magazine in the late 70s or early 80s.
