My name is Lin Duty. I have been in the hobby for 23 years. I currently reside in Colorado. . The reason I want 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. (don't kill me over this) Hopefully one day I will have my octopus and some cuddle fish. as of nat my tanks are not all up and going i just moved to the Springs and still puting the tanks to gether.

Ummmm what's a red Discoma?
 
Those hundreds of red mushrooms you have. Shannon's being all scientific using the latin name discosoma ;) He got those neon reds from Scott so hit him up for a trade :)
 
Hi all- I just moved to Pueblo West from San Diego and am really stoked to find the local reefers! We're building a new custom house with eventual built in tanks totally somewhere in the neighborhood of 500g or so. Leaving San Diego I sold 95% of my stuff and the little bit I brought had a fatal accident on the way here. I'm just now starting my 15g nano back up to have my fix for a while.
