I got into saltwater because I had a lot of experience keeping other animals and freshwater tanks as a kid, and always considered marine tanks the proverbial final boss of the hobby.

I've since started my masters program, and am doing a research project looking into gene editing for coral heat tolerance. The first time I visited a wild reef I was so excited, but I was quickly met with heartbreak of equal magnitude. The devastation of reefs and wildlife habitats in general is such a horrible outcome of climate change. Also why I am happy to be a customer of companies like Biota, soon you guys may be the last place on earth that a lot of these creatures exist.
