The Beatles song “When I’m 64” will be a clue, which will be in November

Like me - growing older, but not up!

My wife describes me like that to all new people we meet. I think she means it as a kind of warning to them .

I'm 35 and setting up my first reef so that my kids can have a Nemo. Been in freshwater and planted freshwater since I was probably 5 though.

I was sort of single until I was 60. With the same girl for 30 years, but we just recently made it legal. I have a number of friends that the last time I saw them was the day they got married. Apparently, I was considered a bad influence.

67 or the same age as my tongue, and a bit older than my (own) teeth ;Spitoutdummy

I often see posts from younger reef-keepers here, identified with little clues like "I'll have to wait for my Mom to take me to the LFS" or similar.

I think that's great and it's made me curious what different age groups the community falls in. I myself just turned 50 and only just took up this hobby last year.

So what age group do you fall in?

Been in the hobby for 2 years now, I am 16 I love it, even though it tests my patience sometimes lol.

32! Been in the reef keeping hobby to some degree when since i was 16. Learned to drive by going to LFS with my mom!
Took a 2 year break at one point to do some hiking.
Good god I should know a lot more than I do for all those years of experience... At this point, all I lack is the money for the gear. Let me rephrase that- all I lack is the willingness to spend the money on the gear to elevate me to the next step.

What I've found interesting is that even though my body is 50, the little voice inside still seems to be the same as it was when I was in my early 20's. It may be a bit wiser now than my twenty-something year old self, or it may very well be that my 50 year old body now keeps it in check!
