Heres mine, its a 6x2x2 (7 years ago) with my first snake tank (3 years ago) so the 6x2x2 had been set up for a long while before the pics were taken. I also had a juwel 120 but dont have pics of that. The tank is sold 18 months ago and i have a 350G now with a 4x2x2.
Here's my first one.... think it was about 45g or something.
Replaced it about two months later with my 120g.

My first big tank. my actual first 5 tanks were 10g and i have no pics. after the 10g i got my first 30g which is the pic 
I'm not sure which one came first. I think it was the 10 gallon followed closely by the 30. I think....It was a while ago..
I think I did ok for knowing squat and being a burnout of a teenager.
Edit/ I remember now!
The 10 was settup for a brazilian puffer. I had just started working for Petsfart and a hot girl walked in with it
in a ziplock bag. I remember her holding it up at chest hite to show me and my friend. (she had large assets..) I stood there
saying mmm yeah thats nice, looking over at my friend that could bearly hold in his laughter. I dont think she noticed I wasnt looking
at the bag....
The 30 was settup for a leapord puffer. I'm proud to say he is still alive to this day (full salt now though). He just found a new home a couple weeks ago.
First fish I ever purchased. (The brazilian was a freebee)

A far too tiny goldfish bowl my parents got me when I was about 5. Trouble is that my parents had absolutely no idea when it came to fish so the poor things kept going "belly up" My parents, trying to shelter me from the harsh realities of life and death, decided to keep replacing "Goldy" the goldfish behind my back, and me, being too young to know the difference, remained blissfully unaware that the original "Goldy" had long been succeeded by "Goldy II to IV"
