I'm sure many of us have had several aquariums up till now including FW and SW. It's kind of cool to think about all the different setups I've had through the years. So i'll start the tank history and then everyone else can post theirs up too.
I bought my first 45g bowfront when i was 13. I had to save up for that thing for a long time...and i really loved that tank. I had it for about a decade before i upgraded to my current 75g rectangle. So here's the history.
1. First setup was a FW tank with Red Belly Piranahs. I loved watching them eat. Unfortunatly, one day two of them ate the third. They had gotten so big i decided to sell them because i was feeding them hot dogs and pieces of hamburger(the amount of feeder fish they needed cost too much at this point). When i was taking them out of the tank when i sold them, one of them ate through the green net....i had to use a strainer to get him out. That was scarry.
2. Second tank was a FW setup with 3 Oscars. They ended up jumping out of the tank probalby due to the fact that i was doing any water changes and ammonia was off the charts. Lessons learned.
3. I tried my first SW setup for about 2 months with a yellow tang.
4. About 3 years later, i tried SW again with some damsals and LR. It was fun and i enjoyed being able to keep things alive.
5. I got my current 75g reef tank.
