Dylan Geraets
Owner, Aquarist
From a young age I had a profound interest in all things aquatic. My passion began when my grandfather taught me how to fish. This sparked a new curiosity for all the different species that inhabited my local lakes & soon after I found myself researching and reading every book/magazine/and article related to fish.
One day, I discovered a book about the hobby of fishkeeping and I've been hooked ever since. The most impactful being the work of Takashi Amano & and the nature aquarium method. By age of 14, I had utilized his ways of thinking with my own twist & began successfully keeping/breeding aquarium fish from all over the world.
As of today; I have kept, bred, & and raised the fry of over 100 different fish species. In the last decade, I have had the pleasure of creating/maintaining aquariums from 1g cubes up to 1000+ gallon systems for public aquariums.

My passion for keeping aquariums was heavily influenced by Dylan. There is nothing like watching him light up when the topic is relating to marine life, let alone watching these species interact & getting a glimpse of the underwater worlds we are surrounded by.

I have a background in interior and graphic design; these skills are helpful when creating our custom aquariums & can also bee seen through the brand we have built.

One of my favorite things about keeping aquariums is studying the color each species holds as their characteristic evolution. This is best represented in my personal sticker collection.
