Rappin' With ReefBum is a LIVE talk show with host Keith Berkelhamer and guests from the reef keeping community. In this episode I chat with John Coppolino, A.K.A. Copps. John keeps about 2500 gallons of saltwater aquariums, most being reefs. In addition to publishing articles and speaking at conferences, including three past MACNAs, John has spoken to reef clubs in over twenty states. His systems have been featured in publications in Asia, Europe, and the United States. These include the book “The Coral Reef Aquarium” by Tony Vargas.

John is also one of just two people to have received the prestigious Reef Central Tank of the Month for two different systems (September ’04 and January ’11). In the summer of 2013 John started building his largest system yet, a 1300 gallon SPS display, a 240 gallon anemone display and two six foot frag tanks that are installed in the “forever home” he and his wife built. John also has had a number of SPS corals named after him.
