Perhaps the best way to describe the experience of having an aquarium is to tell you why I started keeping an aquarium when I was young. Prompted by the early television shows of underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, I was in awe of the ocean and its inhabitants, particularly tropical coral reefs and all the beautiful creatures that inhabit them. During those same years, I was fortunate to travel to the coral reefs of the Caribbean and swim among those very creatures. Swimming about the reef with a mask and a snorkel, I explored all the nooks, watched the fish, and admired the beauty for hours and hours. Soon I learned to scuba dive and take underwater photos, but that wasn't enough, especially when I had to return to cold Connecticut waters. I had to have these animals in my home all the time.
