I just recently crossed the 5 year mark so I voted for 5-10 years. I originally set up the tank as a softies tank for a couple of years. Then I decided to switch over to mostly sps. It took me like 6 months to get all of the xenia out of there. :p It just kept growing back from the tiniest of pieces. I still have a little bit left in the tank.

I started around 91, 55 gallon 1 40 watt stick, bio-logic cutting edge hang on wet/dry nitrate bomb:) a heater so cheap it cooked the whole mess about 6 months after I got it going well enough to support life. took a year or so off and went into seahorses, bred h.fuscus and barbs. now I have a 90 gallon reef thats 6 years old. and of course fresh water since the 60's off and on.
