Adam and Dong get together for the second time to discuss all of the input and output sources that encompass our reef aquariums. full 1 37 Part two of two episodes! Adam and Dong get together for the second time to discuss all of the input and output sources that encompass our reef aquariums. This episode covers mostly outputs: from skimming, to GFO, to water changes and many other intentional or unintentional husbandry methods.


Dong has a PhD in chemistry and worked for several pharmaceutical companies in various therapeutic areas including anti-inflammatory, cancer, pain management and anti-infectious diseases. He developed his first interest in marine invertebrates when he was working as a post doc at the University of Virginia. He has been in aquarium hobby since he was in college and he got into the saltwater hobby in 2004 after setting up his first marine fish tank for a Nemo and after he discovered the Boston Reefers Society.


About 10 years ago, he cofounded his first company on drug discovery. Soon after that, he was able to combine his passion for coral and his experience in the pharmaceutical industry and cofounded a new company, eCove BioMarine. This company focused on aquaculture coral for drug discovery and bone grafting. His current company, AcroGarden Inc, was then founded to hold the intellectual properties and to study coral farming. AcroGarden is now his primary focus. The company produces aqua-cultured coral, mainly SPS, for the hobby.

]]> Adam sits down for an in-depth discussion with the coral-obsessed, Corey Treadwell, AKA Coralhead. Corey is the livestock manager at the reputable coral farm, White Corals, based in Germany. Among the many hats he wears, he is also working on new products for NYOS, developing a promising and gentle dip, which even shows promise as an in-tank treatment for AEFW's and most other pests.

They discuss tips for troubleshooting coral issues and developing your reefing intuition or ‘sixth sense’. From a young age, Allan was raised in a home with reef tanks around and has been learning and obsessing over corals and fish since he was a kid. Allan works hand and hand on tanks with his father, Hung Vo.
