[12 Volt Man]

Been blowin' $ on this hobby for over 46 years.

I can relate. when I bought my house, I had my 150g tank before I even had a table to eat at

19 years for me. My parents had some tanks back in the early 70's. The only one I remember was a 10 gallon with a stainless-steel frame.

I have only had my brackish tank for about 3 months but I am HOOKED! I always gravitated towards others' fish tanks and linger a lot longer at aquariums! Love love love them.

my folks always had fish tanks around. my mom told me that when I was about 3 years old I had my first tank set up in my room,lol. A bowl with goldfish ( i know, bad) 17 years later I have about 17 tanks running. Had 14 tanks running in my apartment before I even had a bed haha

4, and let me tell you. years dont mean ****! It does not take alot of time to be knowledgable and well experienced in this hobby.

well said , Though ive brought the fish keeping to a new level over the past year ive had aquariums since I was 6 with only a year hiatus. Though after the year hiatus ive been able to take on more projects by going freshwater I used to be a saltwater / and turtle junkie with maybe half of my tanks freshwater.
