Scott Fellman, Tannin Aquatics<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is Scott Fellman, and I\u2019m the consummate \u201cfish nerd\/entrepreneur\/provocateur!” I\u2019ve been keeping freshwater and marine aquariums literally since I was a pre-schooler, and during that time, I have maintained all sorts of aquariums, fish bowls, plastic boxes, and just about anything that can hold water. My lifelong passion is creating natural-looking and functioning aquariums which represent unusual ecological niches. I love this hobby and the crazy, talented people in it!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written many of articles for numerous publications and many online venues, including Amazonas, Reef Builders, Reef2Reef , Coral, and elsewhere as well as my daily blog, \u201cThe Tint<\/a>\u201d, on my Tannin Aquatics<\/a> web site, where I cover a variety of aquarium-related topics.<\/p>\n

In addition to my writing, I\u2019ve racked up the frequent-flyer miles, traveling all over the U.S. and internationally, speaking at clubs and major events (MACNA, RAP, etc.) about all sorts of reef-and now freshwater aquarium-related stuff. I keep threatening to complete a book before this century is over…<\/p>\n

I was co-owner of Los Angeles-based online marine livestock retailer, Unique Corals, which specializes in sustainably-collected, aquacultured, and captive propagated corals, fishes, and invertebrates to the hobby. We enjoyed amazing growth and developed a large fan following in the four years I was with the company. Following my lifelong passion to embrace and replicate unusual aquatic niches, I sold my interest in Unique in 2016 to launch Tannin Aquatics<\/a>, which specializes in providing natural materials for creating blackwater and brackish aquariums. And it\u2019s happening all over again!<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m really just getting started! Stay Wet!<\/p>\n

We have curated a collection of all sorts of natural materials, ranging from seed pods to branches, as well as other goods and ideas for specialized aquatic hobbyists. We\u2019ve enjoyed some pretty meteoric growth, and have turned on many hobbyists to this exciting speciality since we\u2019ve been in operation! A community has exploded…a movement is happening!<\/p>\n
