Zoologist originally. Specialized in Octopi and other cephalopods (also always kept large Moray Eels). I worked for and with CITES for several years rebuilding populations of Mexican Red Knee Tarantulas and Mata Mata Turtles. New to general reef keeping and very lazy and relaxed on water changes.
Started a clothing line several years ago...and it sells out every year. So, animals are put on hold.
I have 125 gallon saltwater tank and a 4500 gallon (16x16) tropical fish pond.
I breed and show Scottish Terriers and West Highland White Terriers.
I have 2 sons: Brenden 14 years old; Aean 4 years old.
I work and do a lot of public service.
What do you do ? Who are you ?

Hello, my name is Billy I'm a reefaholic,
(Hellllloooo Billy)
I am currently in a 12 step reefcovery program.
I am downsizing to a 5 gallon bucket and a flashlight, hermit crab only. No water filtration, hermit crabs can crawl out if it gets too bad.
Replacing copepods with existing cockroaches, more readily available.
Hopefully Karen won't hender my progression with lofty thoughts of another tank.

Beaver:
Interest include massive amounts of football, seeing if I can put too much flow in an aquarium(106x/hr turnover in a 75 gal),fishing and cooking. I live with my girlfriend Mary and my dogg Boot. (will bite). I am a professional student. I go to school at USA, work for Aquaman at Progessive Marine, and am a heavy drinker.
Been keping tanks for about 4 yrs.
Future plans to finish school and help Billy with his bucket of chicken I meant hermit crabs.
