53 here and been in the Reefkeeping side of Hobby since 1982 and started around 1967-68 in FW with Kribensis Chiclids and Fancy Guppies from my Uncle. Saltwater caught my eye big time in 1979 when I started to work at a LFS and slowly replaced SA Dwarf Chiclid and Discus breeding tanks for Old School Marine until I again switched everything up in being introduced to the 'new' Berlin and Jaubert style system setups.
