I think
Now myself
I have 40 years of experience as an
engineer (tool room), Motorcycle and car mechanics repairs, and have kept aquarium fish since I was 10 years old, in the late
80’s I moved into marine
The hobby was very expensive and time
consuming then came the 90, I purchased an awesome 8 foot tank from Wharf aquatics near Pinkton, Then the shock to the system
came the price of the equipment to run a marine tank that size required a mortgage, The wife and I decided to make the equipment
with my back ground knowledge, We searched the internet for information on how the equipment was built after many moths of
research it was decided that most of the equipment out there was ether to expensive or was not suitable or to expensive for
what it was
My first skimmer was made from any items
I could find it worked well. not very steady and it leaked my second was fantastic and ran my 200 gallon system for months.
we also made, sand towers, weir covers, calk reactors, fluidise reactors, bristle worm traps, float switchs, plus many other
items
Talking to some fellow aquarist on a
fish Forum we started a thread called taking on the big boy
We then decided to have a go. The company was
founded with the name Kesh the name comes from my own name ( KEvin S Howell )
We have been making custom built equipment now for over 10 year
We moved to Grimsby in 2003 and spent the next year prototyping
new with investment of new equipment CNC Router and CNC lathe milling machine floor and a manual lathe folding machines also
vacuum forming, hydrogen polisher plus many other expensive stuff
Items we have prototyped large skimmers, Refugiums, fluidise reactor,
calcium reactors, Overflow boxes, frag racking, weirs close loop systems, some large equipment for some of the big names in
marine fish keeping large wall mounted calcium reactor sand tower plankton reactor by the score bio media towers complete
