Tell us about yourself: 

Just your average smoe. I live in Vancouver, BC have for most of my life. I love to travel although no where near as much as I'd like. I have many interests but above all, reefkeeping is my passion. I work as a buyer for a local food service company which pays the bills nicely and leaves me some extra for my interests.

How did you get involved in the saltwater hobby?

Unintentionally really. A friend didn't want his tank (FW) and offered me the equipment and all for $100.00. So I took it, sold everything that was not what I wanted and went to the LFS. Fell in love and it's been a very rewarding experience ever since.

Tell us about your tank? 

Which one.. LOL

The main one that I enjoy the most is my 90 gal reef. My pride and joy is a 2+ foot florescent yellow Ritteri anemone I have cared for about 6+ years now. The tank is set up around it so the rest is rather limited but I like it none the less. The tank is very simple in it's set up, shallow SB, skimmer, LR and PC lights.

How did you become involved with Reef Frontiers? 

Mike (mojoreef) extended an invitation some time ago. Although I didn't have much time then, I had a look. I find RF to be one of the friendliest and most informative group I have had the pleasure of interacting with for some time. I look forward to it's future.

What is your reef keeping philosophy? 

K*I*S*S*

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

What is your dream tank? 

Something along the lines of a 225 gal. Not a big SPS person but I would like a tank ultimately that would center around the flow of soft/LPS and a few select SPS to fill in additional color and interest. Mobile invertebrates would be the next focus with as many cohabitating species as possible. Fish would be a secondary concern but some schooling species would be nice.

Do you have any advice for others? 

Always be open to new ideas no matter how unfounded they may be at first glance. You never really know what something may accomplish until it's given the chance to prove it's merits. Don't be afraid to stick your neck out, sometimes you'll get it loped off but you won't learn much if you stay sequestered. Fish may live in boxes but we should be willing to think outside of them.
