What do you consider your tank's anniversary date?

[Tautoga]

Curious as to what people would consider their tank's birthday/anniversary?

The day you add salt water?
The day you add live sand/rock?
The day you add your first fish, coral or other critter?

My tank will come upon its 1 year mark in a couple of months or so and I cant decide on which event should mark its birthday.

Thoughts?

As soon as you add either pure ammonia to the tank to jump start the cycle or something that will produce ammonia as it decomposes. In my case it was the live rock.

I added live rock, sand, and saltwater the same day. That's my anniversary date!

End of cycle.
Happy birthday!

My tank wasn't born, it evolved over the better part of 18 months.

I vote for when it's ready for livestock besides the rock and inhabitants therein.

I use 'First Livestock Date'.

livestock added date for me, though if you want a slightly more impressive number you can use the date of conception, when you first thought you might want a saltwater tank.

Ohh geez, my tank would be about 2 years older than when it ever saw water.:lolspin:
