How long have you had your tank(s) set up?

[robchuck]

Sitting around experiencing an afternoon of sheer boredom here at work, I got to thinking about all the tanks I've had setup over the years. That got me curious about how long folks around here have had their various tanks set up. So, how long have you had your tank(s) set up?
Here is a list of the various tank's I've kept over the years:
20 gal XH (FW): 1986-1988
20 gal XH (SW fish only): 1988-1991
10 gal (FW): 1988-1991
50 gal (FOWLR): 1991-1994
29 gal (FOWLR): 1994-1997

10 gal (SW Nano): July 2001-October 2002
29 gal (FOWLR): June 2002-November 2002

My 20g 1970 to present, I broke the glass durrting a move a year ago and replaced it. I couldn't stand the thought of parting with the tank, It's probably the one thing that I've had the longest.
