He is an author, photographer, aquarium design consultant and frequent lecturer on marine aquarium keeping. Julian has been keeping marine aquariums for nearly 30 years. Julian’s brother Elliot introduced him to the study of marine life along the shore of the residential island where they grew up on Biscayne Bay.

Julian writes the monthly column "Reef Notes" in Freshwater and Marine Aquarium magazine, and has authored numerous articles in other publications such as Seascope, Advanced Aquarist Online, Aquarium Frontiers, Marine and Reef Aquarium USA, Practical Fishkeeping, Tropical Fish Hobbyist, and Coral. Julian wrote and narrated the video entitled "An introduction to the Hobby of Reef Keeping," the first product of his collaboration with Daniel Ramirez, which resulted in the formation of Two Little Fishies, Inc. in 1991.

Julian is involved with Two Little Fishies’ research and development and technical support.

Julian’s books include The Reef Aquarium, volumes One, Two and Three, which he co-authored with J.
