Bio: Hello, my name is Isaac Barriga. I’m a 20-year-old full-time college student. My interest in aquatics began when I visited California’s local tide pools as a child. I was fascinated by all sorts of animals and invertebrates. After many ups and downs, I discovered my passion for reef keeping during my senior year of high school. We started with a small ten-gallon tank and, with the help of my father, built Cali Coral Connect from scratch. We’ve grown from a single ten-gallon tank to four coral systems, totaling around 900 gallons of water. As a proud team member, I take pride in ensuring the corals are healthy before shipping and making sure customers are happy with their orders.
