We are seeking someone with a strong knowledge of reef aquariums, coral care, and marine aquarium husbandry who can confidently care for our coral systems and help customers build and maintain successful reef tanks.

Responsibilities:

Maintain and care for coral and reef aquarium systems.
Monitor and maintain proper water parameters, including salinity, pH, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate.
Understand the specific care requirements of different coral species.
Identify signs of stress, disease, pests, or poor water quality in corals.
Properly acclimate, place, feed, and maintain corals.
Assist with coral fragging and propagation when needed.
Maintain clean, healthy, and visually appealing coral displays.
Perform regular water testing and aquarium maintenance.
Help maintain appropriate lighting, flow, filtration, and dosing for reef systems.
Educate customers on coral compatibility, placement, lighting, flow, feeding, and general reef care.
Recommend appropriate livestock, equipment, additives, and maintenance products based on customers' individual systems.
Assist with receiving, acclimating, and caring for new saltwater shipments.
Provide knowledgeable and friendly customer service.
Help maintain the overall aquarium department and livestock as needed.

Qualifications:

Strong knowledge of reef aquariums and coral husbandry is required.
Hands-on experience maintaining a saltwater/reef aquarium.
Familiarity with testing and maintaining reef aquarium parameters.
Knowledge of a variety of LPS, SPS, soft corals, and zoanthids.
Understanding of coral lighting and flow requirements.
Ability to recognize common coral health issues and troubleshoot aquarium problems.
Comfortable performing aquarium maintenance and working with live animals.
Strong customer service and communication skills.
Reliable, responsible, and able to work independently.
Previous aquarium store, reef shop, or professional aquatics experience is a plus.

The Ideal Candidate:

We're looking for someone who can talk about reef tanks because they actually keep them, not someone who has only general knowledge of aquariums.
