I've had aquariums since I was about 10. Five gallon stainless steel frame with guppies and mollies, an angel fish or two. In my late teens we moved to Ft. Lauderdale and I took up SCUBA. Since I've been almost exclusively salt. A couple of fresh water tanks over the years to satisfy wife and kids, but the salt has been my addiction. In my current setups I've tried to re-create the look of the in-shore shallow reefs I snorkeled and dove in the late 60's and 70's. It was a happier, simpler time. My reefs take me back in time, give me some inner peace and tranquility.
