Hello fellow reefers,
My name is Aleksandr Dubois and I have been in the marine aquaria hobby ever since I can remember. My father got into the hobby back in the early 1980s, so there was always some sort of aquarium going all through my childhood. I was born in 1986 and set up my first tank at around 11 years old. Shortly after it was up and running I knocked the compact fluorescent light fixture into the tank. Without hesitation, I shoved my hands into the tank to retrieve it and was met by a very intense jolt. However, I was not deterred by this incident and I have owned various set-ups off and on throughout my life. Some of my other hobbies include: pool/billiards, collecting vintage watches, records/music, cycling, spending money. I have been apart of a few different marine aquarium forums ( reefcentral, PNWMAS) and I am very excited to be apart of the reef2reef community.
Thanks, Aleks
PS: I've included a photo (me standing in front of Ken Kesey's bus 'Further', while a little kid photobombs me) so you can put a face to the name.
