I Dream of Tahiti






With all the snow, cold and ice, I wish I was still in Tahiti!!! These are all pictures I took while diving off the reef in Moorea.

210 Gallon Feature Reef




This 210 gallon reef aquarium is just over a year old and is doing amazing. Look at the size of the Leather Coral and the Xenia colony. It houses numerous fish including yellow tangs, a blue hippo tang, coral beauty, pair of mandarin gobies, anthias and many others. It is a truly beautiful vision.

My Newest Project





This stunning 1400 Gallon Freshwater Aquarium is one of two located in a St. Paul School. I have been asked to help maintain these systems alongside teaching staff at the school. Each aquarium is 16 feet long, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. This one houses dozens of African Cichlids including some beautiful Peacock Hybrids. The other aquarium houses Minnesota Native fish including bass, walleye, sunfish and many others.
I added a picture of the system behind the scenes, it's pretty intense.

Yellow Carpet Anemones Are In



We just purchased 3 bright yellow carpet anemones. In all my years, I have never seen anemones so brilliantly colored. As you can see, these clownfish have claimed their homes. It is truly a beautiful sight.
