I live in Germany. As a child I made a first contact to marine fish as my father kept some of this beautiful animals in his big fish tank. Almost 20 years later in 1996 I started my own marine tank with a single pair of Brazilian seahorses and several pipefish. Since that day I´m absolutely faszinated by these very special animals...

Further private interests are computer and sailing, especially multihull competitions (my last boats were an adrenaline- pushing Hurricane 6.5 and a Nacra 6 SE Carbon as well as since 1998 a Corsair F-24).

I studied medicine in Düsseldorf and law in Münster. My profession is a really interesting mix of law and medicine.

Let´s change the subject: All photos are taken from my own tanks. I use a HP Photosmart digital camera. This camera is cheap (unfortunately out of production now) and already a few years old, but it is able of a very good color reproduction. Meanwhile there are more than 3.000 photos out of 9.000 in my harddisk-archive. If you have any idea of other really good digital cameras for marine tank photographie, please let me know.

For quick loading of the website a very high compression with some quality loss had to be selected with the photos: an uncompressed picture is about 900 kb as a tiff-file, but in jpeg-mode - with 50 % dimension of picture area at height and width - there are only 10-15 kb left.
