Bubble Magus Curve 7 skimmer, LEDZeal Malibu S200+ light and a Neptune Apex Classic. All coming up to 6-7 years old now.

I have a five year old jebao return pump right now. Not sure if it will need replacing soon but for now it still runs great.

2 blue box mp20's that are roughly 14 years old. Still using original wet sides as well. The really old ecotech stuff is indestructible.

I have a Gen-X external Pump that is over 20+ years old and still running today. I have dressed this area along time ago. I bought a new spare in 2006 and have yet to use it. PS: Sump is the same age as well.(modded it since pic.) P1000838.JPG

I have a mid 90s model eheim still chugging away on my calcium reactor. Come to think of it, all of my Tunze pumps are a good decade plus old as well. Got them in 09. Some magnets mounts and power supplies crapped out but not the pumps.

Aqueon Pro-Flex model 4 sump with refugium. Got it in 2007 when I setup my 120g. Still does the job so why change it?

Heihm 1250 passed down to me by a friend who was leaving the hobby. I’m still using as my return.

Got a two-way tie:
