RD Featured Tank - Jasper Parris

[EyeReef]

I had the honor of meeting Jasper on many occasions and I have nothing but good things to say about this man. He was one of the most sincerest, kindest and knowledgeable reefer that I knew and I would remember just standing in his house and listening to him talk about about his reef tank He was so passionate about the hobby and never hesitated to offer help or advice. That is why I feel very honor that we get to feature his beautiful reef aquarium on this site. With that said, I present you Jasper Parris wonderful reef aquarium:

This tank is one of a very few in San Diego County were I have seen real matured colorful and healthy animals.

We have an old saying here about his tank, You can put anything in Jasper's tank and it will grow fast even a monkey.

Thank you to the contributors Nick (Nick_kun), Sue (chanas4) and Ed (barometer) Great job.

i had the luxury of meeting Jasper at one of the reef meetings. Very nice and knowledgeable person to ever meet. He always leaves a good impression in you.

The rainbow monti is one of the things resurrescting itself on a piece of its live rock I believe. There are some Montis spreading. There are three pieces that med it to Birch Aquarium. The guy from there said he has never seen a system like that in someones home.

Beautiful and incredibly healthy SPS. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jasper, but everyone I have met from sdr he seems to be very knowledgeable and very kind person.

jasper's reef was one of the 1st reefs i ever saw and i was amazed. poor jasper had to deal with me asking a kajilion questions. but the thing about that dude is he seemed to enjoy answering any questions. no matter how basic or inane he took the time...never the arrogant know-it-all.
i've said it before that his tank reminded me of a living dr. suess book....that thing literally glowed

great showcase guys!
