Topic: Aquarium Safety and Automation

Speaker: Jim Karanikas

Jim is a degreed Marine Biologist from the University of Maryland in College Park. He is the owner/operator of Aquatic Inspirations, an aquarium installation/maintenance company based in Maryland and in South Florida. His company designs, installs, and services custom aquariums all over the world.

Jim's passion for aquatic life started at a young age when his mother got him an aquarium as a child. This passion is what drives him today, setting up 5,000 gallon aquariums where he scuba dives in to clean and aquariums installed in homes on private islands.

Jim loves teaching people of all ages how to maintain and enjoy the beauty of keeping aquatic life. He says keeping aquariums should be easy and stress free when done correctly. He has developed a very easy to follow method of maintaining aquariums in a natural way. He hopes all of his clients get years of enjoyment from his underwater artwork!
