I grew up (till I was 12 in England) where my Dad had freshwater. I also had a freshwater tank until college (1990) where I had a 90g SW Fish only. I then stayed away from hobby until was done with medical school and residency and started back heavy in early 2007. I now have 214gal mixed reef, 34gal nano, a 3gal pico for one of my sons in his room, and a 115gal SPS only (in the works).
