Is It The “Golden Age” of the Aquarium Hobby?

The history of aquarium keeping is a mix of amazing people, cool ideas, and of course, fascinating fishes. Many of the ideas we take for granted in the hobby have their roots in the 1950s and 60s- arguably the hobby’s “Golden Age.” However, there are all sorts of new ideas percolating in-.. today, a quick romp through hobby history and some personal relief tons and observations that confirm, in my mind at least- that we’re in another “Golden Age” of the aquarium hobby.
