HI,
I am Archan a businessman from India. I am into this hobby for last 8 years and this is my latest tank 2 years old. When i was a schoolboy i was coming back from tennis lessons and on the way back home i saw a new fish store opened with a marine tank. Just rocks and a lion fish. I was soo amazed and took iron determination that i will do this one day. and the study begins. and now I am here.
