I have the following & all are still in use "as noted" w/ no break's except maint. of course, only part's replaced a few hose's & their connector's: :popcorn:
Hagen Fluval 402 approx. 19 yr's., had another 402 lasted for approx. 18 yrs.
Hagen Fluval 302 approx. 18 yr's
Hagen Fluval 102 approx. 20 yr's.
2 Hagen AQ 500 approx. 16-17 yr's.
2 Top Fin 60's approx. 15-16 yr's.
6 Hagen AQ pwrhd's approx 16-17 yr's.
Ok, so this is not "Equip." per say, but still impress's me ;)
3 Oceanic tank's between 25-28 yr's., all soon to be replaced w/ new 180 gal perfecto:headbang2
which almost brings tear's to my eye's :cry: but not enough to stop from getting our new 180 :cool-1:
Wow, I don't like this, I think I may actually feel a bit old looking at all that :eek: nahhhhhhh,
cause I know the BEST is yet to come & why you might ask, our 4 yr. old princess
& she LIKES helping daddy w/ the fish, yeah baby, the future look's bright :D
Thank you, that's all :) :) :)
 
When I was 14 I got my first tank a 20g Tall at a swap meet. 14 years later it's chipped, bit scratched and still going. It's filter I got in a box of fish stuff at a yard sell about 2 years later, an old penguin that's a bit noisy but still runs. Sometimes after it gets unplugged it don't start unless you pull up then drop the uplift tube back down.

The longest lasting equipment is you yourself. If you stop maintaining the tank, whatever other equipments you have will fail.

haha that is soo true!

i like eheim, not sure how that is spelled, but anyway, they make good filters!
 
True. Be sure to maintain your equipment, it could save your fish.
 
Eheim 2217--------------8yrs.
 
Anyone out there have any opinions about what they think the longest lasting air pump is? (particularly larger ones for fish rooms).
MFK vendors please tell!
 
Going on 21 years with an eheim 2052. that old big grey bucket with the pump on top!!. still pumping away on my main arowana tank
 
I have a aquaclear 500 that's been running strong since 91 constantly ,just change the carbon and cleaned the sponge.
