How Did You Get Into This Hobby?
I always loved aquariums, had a few fresh water tanks here and there. I have always loved Marine life,everything about it just amazes me.
When I started my first reef tank without any knowledge, I sorta winged it,but after alot of trial and error and just
doing things on spur of the moment. It came out pretty good,with the help of the Internet of course.


Which Is Your Favorite Fish and Why?

My Favorite type of coral would be SPS
My Favorite SPS is My Red Birdsnest
