Been keeping saltwater fish since the early 80s. Started my 1st reef tank after reading about them in FAMA way back when they had a series of articles about the wet/dry filters being used in Europe.

I have been doing saltwater aquariums since early 1992. My wife introduced me to fresh water, and we both started a saltwater fish only. I started my first reef December 2006.

If researching counts for anything... since January, 2007.

If not...well, I have none.

But, I do have about 15 years of FW experience all told.

Default Re: How many years of experience do you have?

When I was a kid I had a freshwater tank for 5 years. The fish were very accustomed to me feeding them so when anyone got near they would rise to the surface. Well, my old cat learned she could open the lid and the next morning, no fish but a half eaten one on the floor. I quit the hobby for a while, but I started a 30 gallon freshwater 3 months ago, after I moved out of my parents house. My new cat can't open the lid so much has improved. I am a novice at saltwater though.
