My name is Scott Fellman, and I’m the consummate “fish nerd”! I bleed saltwater! And yes, I think there’s a lot of freshwater in there, too!

Much of my life centers around tweaking protein skimmers, scraping algae, cleaning up spills, or figuring out how to unglue my fingers. I’ve been keeping marine aquariums since I was a kid, and during that time, I have maintained all sorts of aquariums, fish bowls, plastic boxes, and just about anything that can hold water. My passions are aquascaping and marine biotope aquariums. I love this hobby and the crazy people in it!

I’ve mentored fellow hobbyists for over ten years, starting on Bob Fenner’s WetWebMedia.com site, where I was also Co-Editor of WWM’s Conscientious Aquarist online magazine for a couple of years. In 2006, I served as president the Marine Aquarium Society of Los Angeles County.

I’ve written a number of articles for publications such as the late Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Magazine, Ultramarine UK, Tropical Fish Hobbyist, Marine Fish and Reef USA Annual, and many online venues, such as Reef Addicts, Advanced Aquarist, and Reef Builders, where I've blogged on a variety of reef-related topics from time to time.And of course, Reef2Reef, where we discuss all sorts of crazy reef stuff!

In addition to my writing, I have racked up the frequent-flyer miles, traveling all over the U.S. and internationally, speaking at clubs and events about all sorts of reef-and aquarium-related stuff. I have presented at MACNA XIX in Pittsburgh, MACNA XX in Atlanta, MACNA XI in Atlantic City, MACNA XXII in Orlando, MACNA XXII in Des Moines, MACNA XXIII in Dallas, Miami, as well the old IMAC Conferences in both Chicago and Long Beach. I’ve spoken several times at Reef-a-Palooza in my native So Cal, as well. I keep threatening to complete a book on marine biotope aquaria and aquascaping before this century is over, and I’m sure my aquariums are due for a water change at some point!

I was co-owner of Unique Corals from 2012 until just recently, when I left to pursue other business interests, including my new venture, Tannin Aquatics, a freshwater niche specialty vendor. I still have a pretty active speaking schedule, and will be all over the US this year!

When I’m not trying to replicate the ocean or other aquatic environments in my aquariums, I’m usually surfing in it at my local beach, dining at new restaurants (another great love), watching ice hockey, working in my garden, or cooking.

LOL, you're assuming correctly! Been a fan since I was little kid, so it's fun to see them have some great years!
 
Ugh...... Lost my inside guy at UC :(
But I'm excited about your new freshwater business.
We need to get together and you tell me more.
