Notable Quotes

My tank is 96 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 30 inches tall. That comes out to about 448 gallons of water volume.

I use quality gear and I keep my filtration simple and it works for me.

This piece is over 20 years old. The client got it when it was about the size of his palm. Right now it's about 24 inches across.

I run my Radions at 90 percent intensity, which is a lot higher than I recommend for most people, for most tanks.

Absolutely, this guy won't touch coral and he only eats cleanup crew members when he doesn't get fed for two days.
