It does seem like there are good number of newcomers and then it kinda trickles down from there , but those who make it past 5 years tend to stay on for the long haul.

If you remember the 60's that doesn't count lol
they say if you can remember the 60's you weren't there - so I just call mine flashbacks

My first salwater tank was fish only. 55g with underground filter, and fake colored and looking coral. This was set up Labor day weekend of 1999. Got a leak in this tank, so only thing available real fast was a 46g bowfront. Had this tank for many years.
I have only been into reef tanks since Sept 1, 2005. I see a pattern here.....Labor Day weekend must mean time for a new tank.
I have learned a lot since those beginning days. Now my tank is truely "eye candy." Don't really regret the mistakes that I made. With mistakes one learns. (or so you hope)

hi everyone, been a while...been busy with lots of stuff...haha
as for me...14 years...my dad started me young when I was 9...surprisingly I only dealt with freshwater for about 2 months...everything else has been salt all the way baby!
happy to report that I'm still learning new things every day...which to me is one of the most gratifiying aspects of the hobby (that and always having an empty wallet...I mean who wants to carry around a heavy wallet anyways?)

Close to 23 yrs. sounds about right, have had SW tanks ever since started working mowing lawns and such, 12 years old when started now 35 this week. Still love the hobby just as much, if not more(I think it's more, I kind of know what I'm doing these days, not to much trial and error anymore).
