Expertise

Hello, I can try to help you answer most questions regarding the setup and maintenance of your saltwater aquarium. I am experienced in plumbing and electrical needs to setup your tank using regular tools and average knowledge and experience. I am familiar with Lighting, skimmers, and most every aquarium tool and equipment out there. I can also help you understand the minimum needs and requirements to safely and quickly estblish your tank, to minimize the loss of marine life.

Experience in the area

I have been in this hobby for almost four (4) years now, but my experience in construction helps me with the necessary electrical and plumbing needed and used by todays 'hobbyist' for allthefun DIY projects. I have also established a reputation in the Southern California area for being helpful not only in answering questions, but in going to folks houses and places of work to help)

What do you like about this subject?

This is fun and challenging hobby. It is very rewarding to see and accomplish things usually and previously thought impossible.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope that we are able to educate ourselves and those around us to the beauty and magnificance of the marine lives in our oceans, and maybe someday be responsible for the safety of some species that might otherwise become extinct.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Corals are animals, not plants!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Some local clubs, may not be in this hobby for the fun of it. Please be careful of giving your money to 'clubs'. Require that they give and share all financial records with club members prior to giving them your hard earned money. Most legitimate clubs wont require you to give them money anyways.
