Freshwater since about 1953 and salt in 1971. I bought the first saltwater fish imported to New York City.
 
It'll be a year on August 11 being in SW, i had freshwater when I was a kid then started another freshwater tank for my son for couple months before jumping into saltwater cause he wanted some clownfish
 
1.5 yrs.

Mike's 58g daily struggle.
 
Been splashing around this ole hobby since 1970, im 66 yrs. old not real sure but I think im addicted!
 
Since may of last year
 
5 years, cause I started when my daughter was born. Kept me inside rather then outside, now passing it to her as well.
 
I started at 14 years old with a fw 35 gallon hex. Had it for 8 months and got a 100 gallon tank and my first sw fish was a tomato clown. So I have been in the hobby now for 22 years with a 2 year break in 2007 to 2009 cause I moved from California to Alabama.
 
Started my first QT tank in Feb 2013 and my DT in May 2013. Pretty well addicted. Now have two cycled QT tanks, three tanks that I use for tank transfer, a 4 gallon IM pico that I'll soon be upgrading and a Deep Sea Aquatics 72x24x21, 155 gallon mixed reef.
