I have been keeping a reef tank since 1984. I have written two books, over 400 articles and given over 200 lectures. I have also consulted for the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.

I have five tanks including a 500-gallon SPS dominated tank as well as an LPS, soft coral and frag tank.

I am happy to answer your questions about how I reef.
