Hi everybody,
Been keeping reef tanks for over 20 years, with a few years' break a couple years ago. Worked at a LFS through high school, then got my B.S. in Aquaculture from Florida Tech. While there, I worked in the aquaculture lab culturing phtyo, rotifers, copepods, and barnacles. My big research project involved alternative first foods for orchid dottyback larvae.
When I graduated, I was hired to grow algae at a company doing microalgae-based biodiesel. I currently am a R&D manager at a company that grows and processes aquatic plants for food ingredients.
Current tank is a 180 barebottom SPS tank attached through the wall to a 60g lagoon tank. They share a common sump/filtration etc.
I enjoy DIY reef projects a lot, and have built numerous filters, lights, reactors, etc over the years.
