Notable Quotes

To me if a coral is pretty, it's not going to stop being pretty.

Everything was meticulously planned and thought out.

I have drains in the floor, man you must have the most advanced system I've seen in a very long time.

I really wanted to have something that people walk in, it's like a mini display so people can understand what a fish looks like.

I compare it to growing apples, like look you buy a piece of land, you buy the seeds, you get the land ready for it, you water it right, you go crazy you keep farming and farming and one day the trees start growing and growing and one day they give you apples right? Then when the apples are ripe, they come down and instead of you grabbing them selling them or eating them, they lay on the ground, they rotten. This is what I compare to two coral touching.
