out of curiousity i wanted to know the adverage age of a reef keeper,
so how young are you guy's/girl's really?
not really a very good poll, as most internet users are between the age of 16 and 40.
there are probably loads of older reefkeepers out there that dont use forums like this

if your interested the currecnt average is around 33.648 years old. if you take the middle age of the groups(15-20 the middle is 17.5 and average life expectance as around 80)

You know what's really funny is that in statistics the shape of the distribution of ages is a poisson distribution and I learned in school that poisson is the french for fish!
:applause:
Oooh, just snuck into a younger age bracket there. Glad I didn't wait a few weeks as I'm not ready to be put with the Forties yet!

Hi all,
I'm 62 (but look much younger...lol!) and have kept coldwater, tropicals and marines for over 35 years...!

Out of interest, how old are our oldest and youngest active members? Does anybody know this? Not who they are, I wouldn't dare be so rude as to ask that (although I am curious!) just how old/young.
