In this episode, we welcome a good friend of the store in for an interview! Craig Forist is an accomplished aquarist with an impressive background in the aquarium hobby. He is the president of two aquarium clubs, an active BAP competitor, and most recently – the proud owner of a trio of epaulette sharks. We sit down with Craig and hear all about his aquarium experiences, from early inspirations, to the founding of a brand new saltwater club (West Michigan Marine Aquarium Society). Join us as we discuss aquarium clubs, fish rooms, epaulette sharks, and more!
