Just watched a great video link here on the forum about quarantining fish. Does anyone know anything about this guy? I see he use to post here but its been awhile. The Aquabox web site also does not seem to sell fish though there is a link there. Smart guy and the video was amazing.

He used to run the fish operation for @CherryCorals before he moved on to Aquabox, I think he was running that when he did that Macna talk ??? I bought a fish from Cherry Corals at the time, it was awesome to have another QT supplier besides Divers Den.

Austin shut down Aquabox about a year or so ago to pursue another opportunity that required moving from Michigan. I havent heard anything from him recently, but I would guess he's still active in the community in some capacity with his new venture. He's a great guy and I've met him on numerous occasions, either at the shop or at local talks.

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much for the kind words!

I've been in the industry since 2002, working in local fish stores, wholesalers, and aquaculture facilities. Aqua Box launched in 2016, shortly thereafter we joined forces with our neighbors at Cherry Corals to offer our quarantined and conditioned fishes to hobbyists. Later that year we began dipping our toes into the public aquarium industry, which lead to us moving across the country to join Tenji Aquarium Design + Build. Tenji now has a forum here on Reef2Reef, would love to have you check it out! Tenji will be offering fishes to hobbyists in the future...

In short, there were a couple of moves, lots of fishes fed and algae panes cleaned

Thanks again,

-Austin
