Bio:
Joe Yaiullo has a B.S. in Marine Science from LIU Southampton College's marine science program. In 2000 he opened the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium in Riverhead, NY (now known as the Long Island Aquarium). On that day, the public was able to see his 20,000 gallon reef tank, which again was the largest closed system reef tank in the Western Hemisphere, and second largest in the world and for seven years it held that title.
In 2003, Joe was awarded The Distinguished Alumni Award from Southampton College and was president of the Long Island Reef Association (LIRA) for 12 years (www.longislandreef.org). Joe’s most recent honor includes being awarded the annual Aquarist of the Year (AOTY) award by the Marine Aquarium Society of North America (MASNA.)Joe has been featured in many reef keeping books and magazines, and has presented lectures in Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, England, Fiji, Monaco, France, The Netherlands, Italy and throughout the USA including several MACNA’s dating back to 1994.
Joe Yaiullo manages a 17 year old, 20,000 gallon SPS tank featuring a reef wall, crest, terrace, and back reef filled with many varieties of soft and stony corals, anemones, and about 800 fish, including various tangs, wrasses, gobies, and angelfish.
His insights will definitely help any reefer with their tank set-up and maintenance.
