How long do you think a reef tank can be maintained before it has to be broken down and redone?

Okay how many people have maintained for 40 years? I knew this would come up. lol. I have to say mine has been set up for over 10 years. So far no old tank syndrome yet knock on wood.

Haha...had to do it. I know of a few 10-15yr old tanks. Another guy on my local forum has one that is 20-25 if I remember correctly.

Okay let me rephrase what do you think is the average life span of a reef tank before it has to be taken down and redone?
