    I would like to see, on average, how long people have kept their current setup. I've had mine setup for 20 months. I've been a reefer for 3.5 years. Feel free to show a general picture.

    About 9 months. It's a corner hex, so the side images are somewhat distorted by the bend in the acrylic.

    I had a 29gal tank years ago that was lost due to a hurricane. Just started up a 90gal tank a month ago.

    My last two reefs didnt' stay up for a full 2 years. My next one is doomed to the same fate... The one after that though... will be up for about a decade because after I build this house, it's going to be a long time before I move again!
