?How did you get started with Fishtanks?

My dad had a fish store when I was little, then as a pre-teen, I lived near some awesome woods that had a stream, creek, lake and several ponds. The aquatic life intrigued me, so I started bringing it home and building ponds and filters for them. eventually my dad realized I had an addiction and bought me my very own tropical fish tank. It was a 29 gallon w/ fluval canister filter. My first fish were a pair of platties and a school of harlequin raspboras and bloodfin tetras. the first tank I got when I moved out on my own was a 280 SW with 2 used (lol) morey eels. I am still hopelessly addicted, and lovin every minute!!!
first had goldfish around 8-9 and later my uncle gave me a 10 gallon glass and steel frame set up, been hooked since early 70's.
did they have heaters and all that stuff for tanks back then ? i dont mean to sound ignorant i am not interested in some vintage aquariums and what kind of live plants and all that from then...... i am really curious now ..........
