Greetings
My name is Erik Sayle, I am in my 40s and have been an ardent Naturalist my whole life. I even went and got a degree in Molecular Biology so I get stuff at that level pretty well. In fact I guess I have a sort of encyclopedic knowledge of anything science and nature. I am a science nerd! My user name is a play on the term Genomics (+Erik) since I used to do recruiting of bioinformatics and computational biology.
I am sort of new to Reef tho I have had some marginal salt tanks for 8 years but they were very basic. I have done more with freshwater but am sort of bored with it. I also grow Orchids (I have maybe 400) and like Vivariums as well. I want to graduate to Saltwarer stuff and do it right. Unfortunately I have a small apartment in downtown SF where I can put some stuff in my kitchen. But its on 3rd and top floor so get warm in summer and a pain to lug stuff up and down. I am thinking of a 50-100gal in the kitchen. Tho whatever I do I need to make it automated cos I like to leave town occasionally and I am not good at daily maintenanence. But I am pretty good at automation.
I have went to Anilao Philippines diving 3 times in 3 years with the last trip 2 weeks with maybe 27 hours underwater. It is EPIC diving there. Everything is in Anilao. Its where the Cal Academy of sciences gets their stuff from. If anyone is interested in epic diving let me know. I recommend planetdive.com.ph
We plan on going back to PI and do more diving but I sort of want to do reef tanks as well so I can know more about what I see diving and vica versa.
A few interests I have are possibly doing frags and corals in general as well as Cephalopods. I saw some wonderful Cuttlefish and may try to do a cuttlefish tank.
Recently at one of my job sites some space came available where I could put a large frag tank so I am thinking of building a cheap one there since its free space and cheap commercial electricity.
I could use some members to bounce ideas off of
I am in that reading alot phase right now but may start trying to buy some used stuff soon so I can get the ball rolling. Also looking to buy some used equipment as well.
Thanks,
Erik
