I've been addicted to the aquatic environment my whole life and have kept freshwater for as long as I can remember, still do. My parents still bring up me sitting in front of the 20 gallon freshwater tank for hours when I was two. I had always been fascinated by saltwater but it was always to expensive for me to afford on my part time bagging groceries salary, so when a buddy of mine called me and said, "I know someone getting rid of his salt tanks for free," I thought it was too good to be true. It wasn't, so I started with a 45 gallon FOWLR in 2005. I'm up to a 150 gallon these days and now I get to experience the joy of my two year old asking me about the "fishies and coral" and my 6 month old also stares at the colorful blobs darting back and forth. I'm 30 now and hope to continue to enjoy the hobby and pass my passion for the hobby and the incredible environment onto my children.
