New Game! - How I Got Into the Hobby

For this game, comment on how you got into this one-of-a-kind hobby. I very rarely run into people who are in this hobby aside from Online Forums/ Groups, Local Fish Stores, and Trade Shows.

Me telling people I reef: "Whoah, like in the ocean? And it's in saltwater?!"

So it would be incredible to hear how each of you found out about reefing and what compelled you to start your open little box of the ocean!

The winner will be drawn randomly!

I've always been drawn to and had a love for all things Ocean and ocean animals, ever since I was little. Never knew about reef tanks though (since no one in my family shared my same love for animals). 8 years ago I accidentally walked into what I thought was a pet store to pick something up for my puppy, and to my surprise found a Reef store with an amazing little biocube reef setup that I knew I had to emulate. The rest is history!

I always had a FW aquarium growing up that my Mom would maintain, but it wasn't until I had a college roommate with a SW tank that I truly fell in love with the hobby. I helped maintain that aquarium for a couple years and after moving out, eventually started my own!

Just went to score my Zoa purchase after my third purchase, and all of sudden it says that legendary Corals can’t deceiver to my area. What the heck????

I grew up in Monterey, CA and for a time during my undergrad worked at a marine lab. Tough not to want a slice of the ocean in my house after growing up with it!

Growing up my father kept both freshwater and saltwater tanks. I always loved watching the different fish and other creatures. I started with 20 gal freshwater/ turtle tank back in the earlier 2000's and still have it going except he's in a 65 gal now,. But always wanted to try a saltwater reef tank. Then in fall of 2021 I finally decided to take the plunge and jump into saltwater with a Fuval 13.5 and the rest is history.

I was 9 years old going to the movies with my mom at a mall in Miami, and next to the theatre was a store called aquarium depot. On the display window I saw a tiny little acrylic tank with the waterfall filter, a little light and a nemo. We went in and the rest is history.

I started reefing after taking a trip to Florida. I went snorkeling and so the beauty of our ecosystem. Later on that day, I talked to the instructor. He continued to explain how big of a danger the Great Barrier Reef is in. So longgggggg conversation and sad story, I decided to start researching and learning about how they spawn, to the way the rat amd survive. I decide to buy all kinds of corals amd tanks. I would frag them and sell them to pet stores. I also knew a lady that would send some of my frags off to a foundation that would bring them into a coral farm in the actually ocean that they have till this day. There are coral farms all around the world to try and reproduce the coral animals. I love having a piece of that in my heart.
