50 gal tank circa 2008. Wish I still had some of that Frogspawn. It grew like crazy in a tank I barely did anything to (I sold it on Craig's List for $25 for ~3 heads and thought I was making "Reef Gangster" money).
Water change...nah! 2 part...what's that? Just throw some Kent Turbo Calcium in when you think about it. Testing... OK, but that was an every 2-3 month thing, and I didn't know/care what to do about it. Nitrates hung around 20 ppm, I think. Sump was an unmodified 20 gal Long. 6 x VHOs that cooked the tank all summer.

Late 80's 20 gallon. It was just getting started at this point.
I thought I had more pics but lost all in a few moves.

My 60g cube back in 2007. Live rock from Marshall Islands!!! Good ol' days. 1st pic curing. 2nd pic Mari-cultured pest free huge frags that grew like weeds under cheap Chinese metal halide fixtures. 3rd pic of my Latzonatus clown after I traded my wild-caught true Percula pair ;Facepalm What was I thinking?! Still have that Latz though so not all is lost. Wishing we still had these wonderful options from back when.:(

March 2018 before a crash. Ended up taking it down as I upgraded to a 125 that never did well. Until the crash this tank did so good!

Well, if we go back to 2010, were looking at mummichogs before this become an mostly acropora tank. The current tank is still filled with the silica sand seen here.

Way back when first made a traveling tank. This guy was only 2.5g. Do not worry as the clown was a baby and was moved quickly to a new tank.

This was in 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon and aquariums looked a little bit different than todays tanks. This was my first aquarium after graduating from goldfish bowls. Still not saltwater but the next step forward.
