My name is Lin Duty. I have been in the hobby for 23 years. I currently reside in Colorado. I have a company that specializes in Salt water custom tanks and servicing. The company is established but is more of a hobby right now(part-time job). The reason I wanted a store is because I love the hobby and feel everyone should be able to enjoy the beauty and mystery of salt water tanks in there homes and offices. Over the years I have studied all types of fish (Fresh and Salt Water) and their environments. I love learning about the hobby and I love even more helping others become more knowledgable. I feel it is important to research any type of fish you own or plan on owning in the future. It makes for a happy and very healthy, safe environment for you and your fish. The main reason I like posting ad reading is to educate others about the dangers of some of the fish we deal with on a daily basis (ex: scorpions/lionfish/rock fish etc). Nothing is more heartbreaking than to read about someone who was not informed and has suffered as a result of lack of knowledge. I try to educate my family about the danger in our own tanks. I have a predator tank, a shark tank, seahorse, and several reef and breeder(firefish/percs) tanks. Hopefully one day I will have my octopus (don't kill me over this) and some cuddle fish.

Well after a lot of thinking I put the frag tank in the house and to day I got it going its a36x18x16 40g breeder with a 30sump with 3/4 over flow just a PVC pipe. 2 20watt Coralife light's 1 is a CL 50/50 50%natural daylight 6000K 24 inch 20w 11/2" T12 and the second is a 24inch 20w 11/2" T12. The light's are just for the time untill i can afford MH's for the tank. Naw I need to get some frag's and live rock's to get is started and this is what it look's like.
