RIP to an amazing hobbyist, Brian Griffin.

[Johnny C]

I'm not sure who here is familiar with him (I'm sure a lot of long-time NJ hobbyists are) but Brian Griffin, formally of "Reefers" and Ocean Gallery II passed away just before Thanksgiving.

Brian was a pioneer of this hobby and was truly someone who wasn't afraid to explore new methods in reefkeeping for the sake of innovation. I'll never forget the first time I met him; he was standing in the coral room with his rainbow tie-dye Chuck Taylors, looking over his bubble-tip anemone farm. I then watched him slice through about 20 BTA's with a rusty razor in all of 30 seconds, saying "well, that wasn't hard!" :hammer:

Rest in Peace Brian, you will be missed!

Sorry to hear this. I would talk to him when I went to Ocean Gallery II every now and then... Prayers to his family and friends, Rest in Peace.
