Bio: Greg Hiller
Greg Hiller has been active in the reefkeeping hobby since 1996, starting out in the early days using Compuserve's Fishnet forum as a troubleshooting resource. The lessons learned online from experienced aquarists resulted in such rapid coral growth in his tanks that he needed to learn and develop techniques of coral propagation/fragmentation. Greg has raised several species of marine fish and propagated dozens of species of soft and hard corals, and anemonies/corallimorphs. Greg was a founding member of the Boston Reefer's Society (BRS), served as president for two years, and was a member of the board of directors for several years. As a frequent monthly meeting speaker, Greg has helped educate and contribute to the success of many Boston area hobbyists.
Greg holds a Ph.D. in chemical/biochemical engineering from University of California at Berkeley which he believes has contributed to his success in the reefkeeping hobby. Understanding the basics of chemistry, combined with biology and engineering have helped with numerous fishy-type projects from breeding and raising seahorses to building calcium reactors. Greg has authored a number of articles for online hobbyist publications, most dealing with coral propagation techniques, and chemistry aspects of the hobby. An avid scuba diver since 1998, he's made several trips to locales in the Caribbean, but prefers diving the reefs of the south pacific due to the wider variety of coral, fish and invertebrate species. When not tending to his 400 gallon SPS coral dominated reef tank, Greg works for a major biopharmaceutical company in the bioreactor process development group.
