A bit about Tom:
I started my fish/ocean related obsessions when I was about 6 years old and my Dad first took me fishing. Growing up on the south coast of England I was extremely lucky to have access to regular salt and fresh water fishing on the family boat. When I was 10, my dad brought me (probably him) a 20 gallon fresh water tank which we stocked with a variety of freshwater tropicals and live plants. I remember then how cool it was to look at in the dining room and my mom would always yell at me for not concentrating on dinner!
Life always takes on the strangest journeys and when I was 18 I was lucky enough to find myself leaving home for the first time and taking a job in the Caribbean. While I was there, my wife to be was visiting her best friend who was in an american med school on the island. 16 years, a transatlantic move, two kids, a dog and mortgage later here we are in Jackson NJ! We have lived in the area for about 8 years and when we moved into our current home 4 years ago right before my son was born, I knew I could finally have the saltwater tanked I'd always dreamed about. We started out with a 75 mixed reef and last August upgraded to the current 93 gallon cube. In our short time in the hobby we have had our fair share of ups and downs but it has been an incredible learning experience. We look forward to further upgrades in the future.
We welcome you into our home and look forward to seeing you all.
