I was helping my uncle tear down his 20yr old cichlid tank last week and the back of the background had a saltwater tank on it. The background was as old as the tank. The tank on the background was filled with softies and mushrooms, it had a CC substrate.

I know some people here on RC kept saltwater in the early days of this hobby. Does anyone have pictures of tanks from the 60s, 70s, 80s and before that?

I don't have any pictures, but my aunt tried saltwater in the 70's in a 55 gallon tank. She killed everything. Anemones, fish, coral...you name it. She hates my tank, very jealous. I bug her everytime she's at my house to go check it out. Even some of my friends are jealous, my coraline algae is to die for!!! Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk! :rollface:

Yeah my dads uncle was telling me about a SW tank he set up in the late 70s. An anemone attached to a heater, which then exploded releasing copper and dead anemone liquid(?) into the tank killing everything.
