Started out freshwater in 92. First a 30 gallon, not big enough. Then a 55 gallon, again I got bored and wanted to go bigger. I got a 90 gallon and was happy for awhile. I was hot and heavy into african cichlids for a few years until the kids got bigger and took more of my time. Sold the tank to my brother in law who is still running it today. Everytime I was over at his house I would fiddle with his tank and that would be my fix, cause I still wanted a tank deep inside. Came back from a trip two years ago to find a fish tank set up in the living room. I really didn't want to get involved with it, I wanted a big tank and there were no good places around to get african cichlids. We talked about saltwater but I was a bit intimidated hearing how hard it was. Came home one day to find all the freshwater fish crammed into a ten gallon tank and the other tank set up with saltwater, OK, I guess I have to learn now. The old tank was a 46 gallon bow front and it just wasn't big enough. Now the present tank is a 90 gallon and the 46 is a winter pond goldfish home. The goldfish are outside for the summer and it's weird looking at an empty tank just sitting there. It would make a nice home to say a lionfish or something. And who knows, this 90 gallon is looking a little small as time goes on, maybe there's a bigger reef tank in the future.
