Paul and Pam started reefkeeping many years ago, with a 6x2x2 tank, lit purely by T8s. Paul was one of the first to grasp the idea of cramming in lot of flourescent tubes under the hood for keeping light-loving corals, an idea since improved as technoogy has improved with T5 lighting (a good example of this can be seen here).

Paul & Pam’s current tank is a whopping 10' x 3' x 2' and is probably one of the most stunning reef tanks in the country today. Paul admits it looks it’s best when he keeps his hands out of it, but can’t help playing around with his tank, after all it’s his hobby!

What is very impressive is also the quality of the fish living in this tank, who are no doubt as healthy as fish can be. There are soft corals, clams and brains but it's the SPS that Paul loves most, and there is up to a hundred colonies here.
