Talk Title: Home Aquaponics with Aquarium Fish

Speaker: Dave McGrew

Dave hails from western Maryland where he enjoys the quiet hills and clear streams of northern Appalachia.

Over the last decade, fish-keeping and fish-breeding became an immersive family hobby. Dave often blames his kids for his "aquatic midlife crisis" as Dave and his three sons have kept and bred a wide assortment of tropical and temperate freshwater fish.

Dave's resume is proof that you never know where you'll meet a serious aquarist. He studied organic chemistry in college, earned multiple degrees in music, taught college fine arts for twelve years, and then accepted a call to pastoral ministry.

When he’s not with his family, you can usually find Dave on a creek somewhere or down in his basement fishroom. Dave contributes regularly to online forums under the handle @fishfolk.
