I’m a  SPS guy but still want all the corals 

I think I got my first saltwater aquarium when I was 17-18 to 22yrs ago, I decided to play mad scientist to my current brackish tank and bump up the salinity in hopes to keep a starfish. Skip to 20plus years later and I’m still learning everyday. Still trying to play mad scientist and trying new risks but maybe more educated.

I donate proceeds from select corals and swag to Cancer Research in memory of my late father. My father passed away over a year ago of stage 4 cancer. It was the toughest thing I ever witnessed, the strongest man I have ever met or known taken by a horrible disease. I have started a new venture and opened an online coral selling business: www.unorthodoxreef.ca
