LETS SEE YOUR FIRST TANKS!

[Diskusting]

I see how advanced and experienced alot of people on here are and I was wondering where you guys started out. So lets see pics of your first tanks!

 

Ill start it off even though I am only on my second tank (first nano). I now realize how much money I wasted by not doing alot of research before hand on my 75. I bought all the wrong equipment and did all the wrong things. The only corals I had were some mushroom colonies and a feather duster. Heres a pic.

 

 

 

I sold it because I didnt want to move it. If I had it now I think I could have turned it around.

I'll play. My first tank (I was hard-headed and used tap water):

 

My old set up, just before moving across the country and selling everything:

 

Now I'm working on my 40br, but I haven't gotten any really good pics yet.

I think I have a pic on my home computer. I'll load it this evening.

Does it count if you have swapped tank since one started it?

Here's my first tank, a 24g AP. It was set up for about 7 months

Here's my new tank, it's been set up for almost a month and a half. I transfered everything from the AP to a 40Br. It doesn't look that good yet, but it will.

Well this isn't my first fish tank, I have some pretty cool cichlid aquariums. But this was my horrid adventure into saltwater tanks. I bought the Eclipse 12 thinking it would be cool, was I wrong! What they give you to start up is so embarresing. Well here it is, my start into nano.

 

 

This is today

My first tank. 5.5g SUPER BUDGET. I think the whole thing was 100$ STOCKED.

 

HAIRY. :\

[travisurfer]

wow, how did you possibly get that for less than $100 stocked

My first SW tank. And yes, I used tap water too. The learning curve was rough. 29 gallon Walmart tank and 20 gallon long refugium added on a month later.

 

Turned into this. Took this picture four months ago.

 

I was hooked long before I even set up this tank. Six months later I bought another tank for the living room because I was spending too much time in the basement.

 

 

That turned into this -

Here is my first attempt at a reef-
