ABOUT US

Vivid Team
Vivid Aquariums, in total, is a team of seven dedicated hobbyists. Many people are surprised that we are such a small company. But we are a hard-working unit with big goals and hope to serve the hobby for a very long time.

Dave - Founder, Co-Owner, President
Dave is from Kensington, Maryland and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a degree in Business. Addicted to reef aquariums, Dave conceived the idea of vividaquariums.com in 2003, starting with tanks out of his garage. It eventually took over his home and turned into a promising career and business. In 2005, with hard work, borrowed money, and faith, he opened a warehouse and retail location in Canoga Park, California. Like a madman, he designed and plumbed the original Vivid store by himself.

Dave has been a hobbyist for over 10 years. He is an expert on building reef systems, loves all things coral, fragging, and becoming an expert in aquaculturing. His other hobbies include photography, golf, snowboarding, mountain biking, scuba diving, and spending time with his family.




Thuong ("Ti") - Co-Owner, Web and Marketing Manager
Ti is from Winston-Salem, North Carolina and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a degree in Computer Science. She is Dave's significant other and a hobbyist by default. "When Dave told me he wanted to sell fish online, I thought he was nuts." Upon further research, she realized he was onto something. Ti manages everything web and marketing for Vivid Aquariums. She is also the moderator of Vivid Hobby Forums.



Shaun - Store Manager
Shaun is in charge of all phone and email communication as well as sales and product delivery. His focus is high-quality customer service and is a huge assett to the Vivid Team. Shaun has been a hobbyist for over ten years and is also an expert on fish, reefs, and plumbing. Other hobbies include fishing, scuba diving, and aggressive ping-pong.




Jesus - Warehouse Manager
Jesus is in charge of acquiring and maintaining high-quality livestock, aquaculturing, and fragging. Jesus has been a hobbyist for over ten years and is an expert on fish, reefs, and fragging. Other hobbies include soccer and...being a workaholic.

 

 


Vivid Goals

  • Maintain a website where hobbyists can go to purchase anything and everything they need to build, create, and maintain a successful aquarium.
  • Offer top quality products and livestock for sale at competitive prices.
  • Only sell net caught fish, corals, and invertebrates that are well acclimated to aquarium life, eating well, and healthy.
  • Recommend products that we have used personally and know are of top quality.
  • Design, build, and install all shapes, sizes, and styles of high-quality custom aquarium systems that are user friendly.
  • Use high-quality photographs to give our customers an up-close view of what they are buying.
  • Share our knowledge to help our customers make educated purchasing decisions.
  • Educate our customers about the importance of strong filtration, changing water currents, adequate lighting, stable water chemistry, and stable temperature in creating a balanced aquarium habitat.
  • Support aquaculturing facilities and captive breeding programs.
  • Pay our bills doing what we love to do.
