    Great thread!

    I'm an Electrical Engineer at Brown Engineering Company in Des Moines. I just got my PE so I expect my job commitments to go up a bit pretty soon.

    I also maintain a few tanks as a glorification of my hobby.

    I will also shortly be building mass quantities of acrylic products, if I can stop the bleeding on the emergency situations that just seem to keep popping up!!

    I manufacture a concrete block core foam insulation product called Thermco Foam. I also have a crew in house which installs it. This job pays the bills....but I don't love it. Which sucks.

    My girlfriend has an organic farm which is now profitable....and I have been spending a lot of my free time out there instituting new high tunnel technologies to her setup. We are building an actual greenhouse (panels, vents, etc) this fall and part of it will be for corals and an also an aquaponic setup.

    Very Cool!!! Long term, have you ever thought about organic prawn or shrimp production in a closed system? Maybe some of the guys here on the forums know a guy Brian Tapken, who has been working on a farm for some time now, he lacks the funding and steam to really get it going, but spurred my interest in researching the topic. Once I settle into adult life in the next couple of years I intend on coral farming as well, and I am entertaining the idea of leaving my comfy hospital job sometime down the line to begin an entrepreneurship in intensive aquaculture. Although I'm highly analytical, it takes me a year to crunch numbers and decide on any investment.
