Thank you, guys and gals. I can only hope you find it helpful.
Unfortunately no, a chemist by training and profession. Now, I'd say an enthusiast and mediocre hobbyist just like most of us here, who, nevertheless, has been aspiring and switching gears and is about to go "ichthyo-professional".
Since 2010, I have been working ~full time on a Public Aquarium and Fish Rescue of my own here in Naples, Florida.
It's literally an owner-builder and DIY project, which I have been describing here in most detail

Many photos and videos are also posted on MFK

We have been open by appointment and hope to open to public at large this year. That's the Public Aquarium part. As for the Rescue part, it has never stopped since 2008.
Every fish and every rescue has a story. We are the Fish Story.
