For myself it would be a 10 gallon convict tank. Age 9. Still have some desindants.(wrong spelling)lol
60 litre community, bala sharks and mixed small gourami, Life was so much simpler back the.
Now a 400 litre GG tank with a GG that seemingly has take over my life, currently planning to extend the house for an upgrade. 240 litre housing 2 oscars, and a baby 125 litre pleco tank, then there is the small matter of the hand dug 18000 litre koi pond

oddly enough my first set up was a 55g. i was about 12, and let me tell you, at 12 years old, a 55 is frickin HUUUUUUUUUUUGE!
i picked it up at some garage sale for like 10 bucks. it was just sitting on the side of some guys house with 2 cruddy old white ugf trays sitting in the bottom, and i told my dad i wanted it, so he told me to go ask the old man if it was for sale. after a little bargaining for what was essentially "junk" on the side of his house, it came home with me for the low low price of $10 (all the money i had in my pocket. thats how i got him. lol)
picked up a few small air pumps, some air line and stones, and some ridiculous bubble decor (i think i had a pirates chest and a scuba steve.) and if i remember correctly, that was the end of my filtration. not nearly enough for a 55, now that i think about it. lol. es la vida.
every time we went to the mall id hit the pet store for some $1 or less fish. eventually i had a small school of neon tetras, some gouramis, and other small guppy type fish. a small loach thing that lived in the ugf, and a pleco.
... and thats the story of my life. lol

55 gallon with an under gravel filter and two red eared sliders. First aquarium though was the same 55 with an undergravel filter and a fluval 304 and a ton of random cichlids that somehow survived my ridiculous stocking for atleast 5 years til I gave them away to start a saltwater tank
I won a goldfish at a fair. I put him into a maybe 2 gallon jar and had him for a good year until I decided to get him a buddy. I added his new buddy into the tank and both fish were dead by the end of the week. I know have 12 tanks running with the largest being a 250 and smallest a 20 long. I have a large variety of fish but mainly cichlids.
