My name is Joe Peck and I’d like to welcome you to my little corner of the ocean.
Thanks for taking the time to share my experiences and let me begin by dedicating this site to those who made my success possible. First and foremost that would be Chris Jessen my mentor and current proprietor of
Aquarium Architecture. Without Chris’ guidance and example I would not have had a clear goal to reach nor gotten there with such speed. Next is a resource that has proven invaluable time and again, one that is tireless, available 24 hours 7 days a week and 365 days a year, and whose vast wealth of knowledge on all topics reef related confounds the senses,
Reef Central. Without RC the reefing community in the US would not be enjoying the success it has today. The speed with which innovations and problem resolutions can be shared is unmatched in the history of mankind, and RC has been at the forefront within the saltwater aquarium community here in the US, so much so that it has created countless imitators which is a testament to its success and power. Finally, I’d like to say thank-you to Bill Bullard of
Salty Creefers without whose hard work and technical support I could not possibly keep up with the day to day demands of my system.
Honorable Mention:
I can’t honestly leave this page without also mentioning Jason Edward of Greenwich Aquaria. Since Chris Jessen moved to Florida, Jason has become my sounding board and point of reference “par excellence”. If you are ever in Riverside, CT you owe it to yourself to visit his store. You will find his display aquarium breathtaking and the store itself beyond compare to any other LFS in the world.
Finally I feel I should mention MarineDepot.com as they have provided me with excellent service, great product selection, the best pricing around, and even occassional advice.
