How Did You Get Into This Hobby?
I always loved aquariums, had a few fresh water tanks here and there. I have always loved Marine life,everything about it just amazes me.
When I started my first reef tank without any knowledge, I sorta winged it,but after alot of trial and error and just
doing things on spur of the moment. It came out pretty good,with the help of the Internet of course.
