How long have you been into this hobby?

Fresh Water - Never
Salt Water Reef - 9 Months
The wife decided she needed a hobbie. She never had an aquarium before. So she went out and bought a 75 gallon and everything to set up a reef. Now I think I'm more hooked on it than she is. I can't believe everything I've learned since we set it up. Most of it from here on SFC.

My very first tank was a 10 gallon FW, and I kept that runnin for about 6 months before I got tired of the IMO ugly FW fish. So I then started up a 20 gal SW, which got me hooked. I've been keeping SW fish for about 4 years now, and I love it more everyday.

Freshwater 1 year. Then realized it was hardly as attractive as salt...
now salt FOWLRs and Reefs for 4 yrs. Not a lengthy time, but I have a ways to go.

Not long enough to know everything I need to know!
I got my first freshwater tank at 10 years old. That was 27 years ago. I have not been without at least one tank and as many as 15 since then. Currently I have only two tanks. A 40 gallon freshwater and my 180 saltwater.

Since about 1977 or so with pa's new 10 gallon fresh water tank...amazing what something at a young age can turn into.
