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.
