I designed and maintain all of the saltwater aquarium systems at Salty Blues in Des Moines, Iowa. I would love to have a 1000+ gallon reef aquarium someday.
I love reef keeping because it's a unique opportunity to observe ocean life 24/7. Even if you go diving or to a public aquarium, you don't get to see the creatures inches from your eyes like you can when you build a marine ecosystem in your living room.
I would like to expand the selection of livestock available at Salty Blues as much as possible.
