Purpose

Hi.  Thanks for coming to my blog.  The purpose of this blog is to share my experience as a Saltwater Aquarist.  I want to share the "right" information so that others don't fall into the same "money" pits that I did.  Yes, there is a lot of information around this hobby.  If you are like me and like the "complexity" and "science" of things then let me just say you are going to love this hobby.

History

By trade I am a Software Architect.  Everyday I toil with complex problems and issues.  I am constantly problem solving and learning and relearning.  I love complexities and a challenge.  I love to think in the abstract.  I love to build and create.  I found myself wanting a "challenging" hobby that I could get into.  So...

A little over a year and half ago from this post I jumped into the reef world head first.  I did minor research around the "dos and don'ts" and researched tons of gear.  I researched the diversity of "life" that could be kept in a reef tank.  It was AMAZING!  I saw the incredible depth of science around every aspect of this hobby.  I knew this was the hobby for me.

Final Thoughts

Again, I plan on just sharing MY experience and opinions about this hobby intermixed with facts and common sense.  I don't claim to be an expert.  So, stay tuned and enjoy.
