I got into the hobby in 2001 when I set up my first tank. It was an 8 gallon eclipse with a bio wheel, 12 lbs of live rock, some snails and a clownfish. At first, I was content; I got to try out a salt water aquarium, the clownfish was beautiful and it was a new world with much to learn.
Then I went snorkeling in Hawaii. There was so much more. It was like being introduced to a new world. I swam through a cloud of yellow tangs at Hanauma Bay and I was changed. The beauty of the deep had swept me away into a wave swept reef. To remind me of that trip, every tank has to have a yellow tang.
More Aussie photos. Part two: fish.
Also, updated this post with larger images.

About the Author
In the hobby since 2001, and has seen all kinds of fads come and go. As he gets older, Jeff is developing more and more of a conscience towards environmental concerns, especially towards reefs. Currently, he writes from Ontario, Canada, but would rather be snorkeling on a reef.
