Do you like what's happening on the RTO? Do you feel you have something to offer the RTO just this group of motivated and talented people? Consider joining the RTO team.

Editor in Chief
Todd Zebert
I am very very active on the usenet*.aquaria groups, a member of the Aquaria FAQ rewrite team, and involved with FishRoom. I have been on the net, one way or another, since'88. I have been keeping fish(FW mostly) for close to 15 years, and has been doing marine/reef for about two years. My personal Web Page(greatly neglected in favor of the RTO):My Vision. I would like to thank my fiancee for being so understanding of those many hours I spend working on the RTO.

I would like to credit and thank all those for contribute, one way or another to the success of the RTO

Advisor & Contributing Writer
Gary V. Deutschmann, Sr.
When Gary acquired his first FW aquarium in the late 1950s at the age of
12, it launched a life long love of aquatic life materializing as both
occupation and hobby. Soon enough, he was successfully trying his hand at
then arcane reef keeping. He continued to build a profession in advanced
hydroponics, hydroculture and aquaculture; and along the way had
involvement in EPCOT's Land and Living Seas exhibit, many public and
commercial aquariums, and wrote a book on DIY aquaria. Gary now runs a
successful business as a supplier to aquaria industry manufacturers.

Contributing Copy Editor
Kristi Bittner
Kristi is a relative newcomer to the Aquaria hobby, as she started in
1993. She's devoted a lot of time to reading and talking about
Marine aquaria- and learned a lot! She's dispensed this
knowledge though extensively postings to internet newsgroups and
AOL- where she did a stint as assistant Pet Host. Oh, and she has three
aquariums, but thinks that working full-time interferes...!

Contributing Graphic Artist
Kevin Papierski
Kevin is a fine artist turned computer graphic specialist. Although rodents outnumber fish in his home, he tells me his betas are very dear companions, especially at feeding time. Kevin has single handedly recreated all the graphics on this site and I'm sure you'll find them easy on the eyes.

Contributing PERL/CGI Programmer
Jeff Freeman
Jeff has entitled himself a'CGI Programming Geek', and generated a lot of the original code and solved a lot of technical problems, that became The Exchange. He has one tank of freshwater fish which die and need to be replaced frequently(I'm going to have to show him the url for the Aquaria FAQs- Ed.). He has been doing CGI programming for about 2 years. In his free time, he spends far too much time on the Internet.

Contributing HTML Coder
Yoshi Fiore
Yoshi is HTML Coder and helped out a lot converting the old trade format to the new. He's had a Oscar for quite some time.

Kevin N. Carpenter

Matt Wright
Matt's excellent contribution to the net is hisScript Archive. I have used parts of many of his scripts, and butchered most! but I could not have achieved so much code with so little effort without those scripts.


Contributing Writers:


Kai Schumann
Kai's FAQs have received world wide recognition, and he tells me he has received positive responses from over 14 different countries, from individuals, schools, and marine institutions. He has a degree in Biology and Engineering. He practically grew up at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where his dad was a PhD Marine Biologist. He has kept marine and fresh water aquaria for over 20 years, and have been keeping Koi for 10 years in a 4500 gallon pond.
