Guest Speaker: Joe Yaiullo sponsored by IceCap
As a kid, Joe Yaiullo spent much of his childhood maintaining home aquariums and exploring the marine life surrounding Long Island, New York. Now he gets paid to basically do what he did as a kid and has been keeping reef tanks for over 20 years.
Joe Yaiullo has a B.S. in Marine Science from LIU Southampton College's marine science program, and worked for 8 years at the NY Aquarium in Brooklyn, New York as Senior Aquarist. In 1992, he began to shape his plan for a world-class aquarium on Long Island's East End and in 2000, after toiling for eight long years, his plans and vision became a reality with the opening of Atlantis Marine World Aquarium in Riverhead, NY.
In 2003, Joe was awarded The Distinguished Alumni Award from Southampton College and is currently president of the Long Island Reef Association, LIRA. (www.longislandreef.org) Joe, an admitted "œCoralaholic", currently feeds his ever increasing addiction with a 20,000 gallon live coral reef display, which is acclaimed as the pinnacle of reef keeping to date. As in true coralaholic fashion, a much larger display is in the planning stages.
Joe has been featured in many reef keeping magazines and books, and has presented lectures throughout the USA including several MACNA's and in Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, England, Monaco, France and The Netherlands. The best recent addition to his reef tank though is a water proof iPod case so Joe can rock out while diving in his tank. Atlantis Marine World has doubled in size since it opened, with many future exhibits in the works. So even though it's on a larger scale, Curator and Cofounder Joe Yaiullo still considers it all his "œDIY" project.
