"Hey everyone, I'm Matteo from Lyon, France.


Like most of you, I grew up with tanks. It started with my mother's goldfish, and quickly my room was packed — gouramis, polypterus, discus, oscars. The obsession never left.


Four years ago I joined the French Navy as a professional diver — It taught me discipline, technical precision, and how to stay calm when things go wrong underwater.


Now I'm finishing a Master's in International Business Management and I have one clear goal : move to Florida and work for a company that builds and designs custom aquariums — combining my dive background, my business skills, and the passion that started everything.


I'm here to learn, connect, and build the knowledge base I'll need to make that happen. Any advice from people in the industry — or anyone who's made a similar move — would mean a lot.


Happy to be here."

Thanks guys for the warm welcome!
I have to admit that most of my experience is in freshwater aquariums, although I’m now diving deeper into marine and reef systems.

Do you have any books, podcasts, or resources you would personally recommend for someone wanting to build a strong understanding of modern saltwater aquarium systems?
