Hello. I am John

I'm great at longwinded BS so I'll keep it short as not bore you all to death. I live in SE Arizona and currently am putting up a sumpless 40 gallon breeder which will be a full blown SPS tank someday. It will later serve as a frag tank. I've been in the "hobby" since the 1960's. Had to take a few breaks over the years for military, school, marriage/divorce, relocating, etc. I've had three reef related businesses. I grew-up on Martin Moe and countless other forerunners including Albert Thiel and JEN Veron. Later years heavily influenced by Tyree, Sprung, Paletta, Joshi, and many, many others. My real loves are RBSC propagation (and not just head chopping), as well as taxonomy. We've come a very long way over the years and I look forward to sharing and learning from you all. Happy reefing! Take a few minutes every day to simply sit and observe your work. Your mind will thank you!
