MarineDepot.com Featured Customer Tank—Brad's Wrasse and Angel Reef

About the Tank Owner

I am a 52-year-old father and husband. I have an understanding wife, Vickie, and two gorgeous daughters, Natalie and Megan. I am self taught in the saltwater aquarium hobby and, after nine years, think I may no longer be a beginner. I have been an active member of my local aquarium club, Wastch Marine Aquarium Society (WMAS), for eight years. I graduated high school over thirty-five years ago and got into ceramic tile installation. I made a career out of it and still enjoy my craft to this day. My first aquarium was a 29-gallon freshwater tank that I kept for three years. Next was a 65-gallon saltwater aquarium. That tank is still up and running to this day. My pride and joy is my 225-gallon reef!
