it all started when I was a child living near the ocean with all the sea life around gave me the excitement of exploring 1st near the shores then deeper into the sea.
snorkeling near the rocky shores of the Mediterranean was always a treat for me seeing all the colorful fish swimming,eels near the bottom,crags and octopus in their caves..
nearly 24 years ago with my 1st tank setup as simple as it gets loaded with aptasia as not knowing what they where kept them alive with a couple damsels for couple years.
Lighting was simply florescent tube.For blue lighting I used blue 40w made for tobacco processing and it worked like a charm.
I remember the 1st stages of calcium reactors builds in a 20l pail open top using dolomite lime rubble and crushed oyster
Opened a business in early 90s to import corals and live rock...was a treat for me and for those who purchased it as adds was only through the (I think it was buy and sell)
Live rock loaded and I mean loaded with life all types of corals eels,...you name it it came on the rock.

I could go on with stories but will end it with...I love this hobby with its unforgiving curbs,its not an addiction anymore for me as it runs through my veins.
