I doubt I do but I do have a pretty freaking old tank, it's a 50g Hex tank that is basically 24 x 28 x 24. I got it about 5 years ago for $75 with a bunch of extras. I have moved it 3 or 4 times and it's got a tiny chip on one side that goes into the silicone a bit also, it's never leaked a drop though nor has it been resealed to my knowledge. It's housed all sorts of fish but right now it's just a breeder tank for mollies and guppies.
Oh how old you ask?

1976 is the date code on the bottom of the tank. :eek:

Here is the old girl a couple months ago.
 
I have a 5.5 gallon with a metal frame. It has a slate bottom and it's held together with tar. It leaks really bad though, so I removed the glass and tar and plan to go acrylic and reseal it. I'm not sure of the age of it though. I got it for free with a few other tanks about 4 years ago
 
I had a 20 gallon long for about 9 years, and it was a hand me down, so is way older. I regret throwing it out when i moved. But how about who has the oldest running tank? Myboy has a tank running for about 12 years, with fish he got when he 1st set up.
 
I've got a 14 gallon tank that was my mom's from back when she was in college. So It's from somewhere in the 70's, not sure exactly. Used it when I was a kid, and recently started it back up again, never had a leak. Has a perfecto hood that I'm sure is just as old.
 
i bought a 29 gal when i was 16 i still have it but its not curently being used. im pretty sur it still hold water without any leaks. oh yeah im 31 now
