    Leonardo's Reef

    Leonardo's Reef

    Adam discusses various topics with Leonardo’s Reef owner Leo Den Breejen. From his collection and acquisition of acropora species, strict quarantine protocol, to the equipment and products he uses. No snake oil in this conversation!
    Leonardo’s Reef was founded in 2009 by Leonardo den Breejen, and gradually specialized in the propagation of corals from the Acropora genus. Leonardo, better known as “Leonardo’s Reef” online, has been a reefkeeper for over 20 years. In this period, he gained recognition with several projects such as “Formosa Forest” and “Apogon Reef”, has been featured on boards e.g. Reefcentral and Thereeftank, websites e.g.  Reefbuilders, and magazines e.g. Reef Hobbyist Magazine. Currently, he is the head of the Leonardo’s Reef coral farm and is a University lecturer in Biology.

My Favorite Podcast

I really like this podcast. It reminds me of old reef therapy with the in depth “shop talk” and natural conversation progression. The variety of guests keeps things interesting and the lack of advertising and glaring bias is refreshing.

Love the Advanced content!

Finally someone who isn’t catering to newb hobbyists. New folks are fine, but they have enough outlets to get info. Great job so far, with great guests too!

J-Kloss ,

Fresh perspective, knowledgeable guest

I really enjoy Adam’s take on the podcast. No particular method or product is being pushed or sold, just unbiased opinions on reef keeping from different perspectives.
