I have bin keeping fresh and saltwater aquariums as a young boy with my first salt tank at the age of 9. A 10 gal with undergravel filter and HOB skimmer with anemone and a single clown. By the age of 18 I had a 6' 125 mixed reef VHO T12 lights turbofloater 1000 skimmer lifereef calc reactor and 1/4 hp chiller. I a break from the hobby for a few years comming back in 2004 with 135gal African cichlid tank till 2011. I took another break returning 9/2012 with a 55gal reef that upgraded to my current 75gal SPS dominant reef I GOT HOOKED ON ACROS! I am loving the hobby atm watching all my sticks turn into mini colonies patiently awaiting a fully grown in tank in a few years !
