Hi all!
Figured I should get a basic intro out there before I start posting anymore.
My real name is Charles Raabe, I am retired US Navy and now living the dream working as a DiveMaster in the Philippines, and being on a small tropical island surrounded by coral reefs has been, shall we say, Freekin awesome!...:D
Having such daily access for a number of years now, has also allowed me to provide what I find and can see of the reefs online, so in order to get that out of the way, am going to throw a few of my links at ya.
A Philippine Reef Tour - online pictorial of "my" fringing reef(s).
A Philippine Fringing Reef & The Reef Aquarium - For those who are inclined to run a reef system using more natural methods. (Parts 1-3 completed, am working on Part 4 now).
A Hitch Hikers Guide to the Reefs - All of the critters I have found so far by bringing home live rock and sand and photographing all that I can see. It will forever be a work in progress as I find more critters as time passes.
The Care & Breeding of Harlequin Shrimp - Just what the title says, and for those who have breeding pairs, I encourage you to try and raise the larvae as it is still an area that is wide open for discovery.
My Article Listing - most of what I have put together so far, and don't forget the "info links" section off of the main page.
Hope this is all cool with the admins and mods?
Thanks!
Chuck
