Our speaker will be Bill Cunningham
Originally from eastern Long Island NY, Bill got a start in Marine Aquariums early in life by crawling into his Mom’s tank of locally caught marine life as a toddler. This led to a lifetime as a confirmed beach bum and rabid aquarist keeping multitudes of marine critters in any container that could hold water. Since merely messing about around the waters edge and looking into glass boxes wasn’t enough, Bill obtained his SCUBA certification in 1983 and went on to Southampton College for a degree in Marine Biology.
As a hobbyist Bill has maintained a variety of aquaria, ranging from local caught natives of the East Coast to tropical fish from around the globe. Having witnessed the evolution of filtration from the lowly box filter to live deep sand beds he has found the natural methods of deep live sand beds the best after witnessing the fauna of the live sand assimilate entire cans of fish food often dumped in by his young daughter. Professionally Bill has worked in the Aquarium Industry for over a decade for a variety of retail stores ranging from small Mom and Pop shops to large chain stores. When an opportunity to run a university wet lab for a professor at Stony Brook University came along, he left the retail fish trade to return to science. While at Stony Brook, Bill cultured thousands of marine fish for research purposes and enjoyed time crewing aboard the R/V Seawolf. A unique opportunity brought his experience with aquaculture, research labs and oceanographic work to Florida!
International as the building manager for FIU’s Marine Science Progam at Biscayne Bay.
On Reef Central, Bill is a moderator for the Fish Disease Treatment, Marine Plants & Macroalgae, Fish Only & Aggressive Tanks, SCUBA/Snorkeling, and Other Invertebrates Forums
