Been keeping aquariums in general for about 35 years. I still love my FOWLR, South American cichlids and freshwater plants, but about 12 years ago I got into reefing and fell in love. I'm a gadget/automation junkie with a tendency toward big systems and unnecessary complexity in my tanks. I manage a destination LFS in upstate New York, and am excited to finally join the reef2reef community after years of snooping.
