What's the OLDEST piece of equipment you have running on your tank?

[SeahawkMom]

My oldest piece of equipment is the Red Sea return pump on my Red Sea Max 130 AIO. I replaced the dual pumps with their free single pump upgrade about 10 years ago. Still pumping away.

My Oceanic tank from 1994.

JBJ auto topoff purchased december 2012. Still running today. Never had a failure. Cleaned float switches maybe 2-3 times during that entire span.

Anyways, children: one of my 100 watt Supreme heaters from 1970 is currently on my 31 Fiji AIO. My lfs owner looked at me funny when I told him I had an old Supreme heater from way back when. 3 months and still heating!

I do have some equipment running since 2007-2008... (13+ years).

My Bubble King Supermarine 250 skimmer. Still one of the best skimmers money can buy! I did need to replace the pump a few years ago, so it might not count?

I also have a couple of Tunze 6101 stream pumps from the same time on my fowlr. This is the old boxy shaped pumps (the last generation before they got the rund shape). I've modified the plastic gills of these and they now both provide a ton of flow and go forever between cleaning. I still need to find a worthy stream pump model the day these stop spinning. I bet these can blow the flesh from any coral unlucky to placed in front of it (its on a fowlr system) ;-)

150G & 65G 2015 start up. Waveline 10000II return pump, Mag drive 9 return pump, Kessil 360s, Kessil AP700, Tunze 6055s and 6095s circulation pumps. I rate all these as "TANKS" they just will not break. I would have added APEX Gold system, But it had a brain dump a few weeks back and had to be replaced.

Eheim heater 25 + yrs. but I did replace it in my tank for peace of mind but still use it in my mixing barrel before water changes.

I got back into the hobby early this year. The IM AIO was sold out everywhere so I bought the FijiCube 32 AIO. in the back area of the tank I have a 100 watt SUPREME heater from 1970!
It's been working fine for 6 months!

My oldest piece of equipment would be my Bubblle Magus NAC 6 protein skimmer. It’s got quite a few years on it. I had to replace the pump once I try to do a complete clean it about every 6 months. I’m overdue for a cleaning because I’ve been in a cast for about 3 months. It still works though.

 

[G Santana]

I have 3 power heads over 30 yrs old two are in the tank today, I have 3 30 year old air pumps, two are running my phyto and brineshrimp hatchery.
I have a 30 year old skimmer, but that isn't on the tank and of course the 130 gallon tank is 32 years old.

 

[Rjramos]

Here it is folks! A Top Fathom 110 still running today after 27 years!, most have probably never heard of these Venturi skimmers. What can I say, it works great as any modern skimmer and durable.

 

[scardall]

I have a gen-x return pump that is 25+ years old and is still in service toady. I also have a tsunami wave maker, almost as old and yes it is still in service too.

 

[sarcophytonIndy]

I have several reef octopus skimmers that are 10+ years old

 

[YOYOYOReefer]

Gen 1 Litermeter 3,running it as ATO purchased December 1997
changed the tubing maybe 4 times.

 

[atoll]

My Oxydator A about 30 years old and they haven't changed in that time. Can't think.of much equipment that you could buy 30 years still being made the same now.
