Reef Builders is thrilled to welcome Tia Davis to our team of expert speakers at Reef Stock Chattanooga this August.
Tia is a marine biologist and a lifelong scientist with her current projects including 76 fully aquacultured species of macroalgae, trace element dosing live rock, captive breeding seahorses and invertebrates, culturing phytoplankton using AI, feeder insects for reptiles and fish, macroalgae as a food source for humans and more.
All three of her degrees are focused in the reef-keeping hobby and nutrition, fueling her deep love of proper food with husbandry. For the “farm” currently under construction there are over 3300 gallons and over a hundred tanks being fueled by the Early Carboniferous and Ordovician-made “Lost Sea” underground aquifer in Tennessee.
Having been on several sides of the hobby – from stopping cyanide collection on the ground in Indonesia, working as a collector in the Gulf of Mexico, working in one of the world’s largest clownfish hatcheries, being a veterinary technician for exotics and aquatics, renovating aquarium exhibits, and an academic researcher for climate change with corals – she loves to show multifaceted and intersectional views of the industry and exotic pet trade as a whole.
We can’t wait to see her!
Come join the Reef Builders community at ReefStock Chattanooga, Tennessee on August 24-25, 2024.
