This poll does show us a cross section of this message board's members though, good enough for me
Could be that the older demographic is less inclined to vote and/or admit to their true age on a public forum, he, he. I wouldn't be too hasty to put a lot of trust in the statistics of a poll like this. And yes, I'm getting up there.

I'm 36 and we had a B&W TV as a youngster. I think we were one of the last families around to get a colour TV. I've been keeping S/W for 5 years.

I'm in the 40+ group but started reefing in my 30+ days. I'm sure there are more of us "older" reefers out there but just more secretive or just can't figure out that #@@##!!! internet.

I'm **, but those who have met me probably think I'm in my early 20's. I started my first reef in 1993 it also had an UGF (under-gravel filter), a Skilter 250 "protein skimmer", 18w of T8 lighting, and a Condy anemone that didn't appreciate any of that.
