Practical
Fishkeeping Magazine
The UK's best-selling fishkeeping magazine. I used to sit
on their 'Panel of Experts', and had some of my aquarium displays
featured in their magazine. PFK magazine generously supported
my coral-farming project at the Brighton Sea Life Centre;
providing extensive support and some equipment and trace elements
for us to use in the display.

Milliput
Milliput is the 2-part epoxy putty which I used extensively
for various coral-farming projects. This is the most amazingly
versatile product I have ever used - it even sets underwater!
The Milliput Company generously supported my coral-farming
project at the Brighton Sea Life Centre, supplying us with
vast quantities of their excellent products!

Natural
History Museum - The 'Darwin Centre'

preserved in alcohol. This part of the Museum gives a fascinating

Steve
Irwin - the 'Crocodile Hunter'
The fantastic documentaries by Steve and Terri Irwin, and
their "hands-on" approach to conservation, were
a huge influence on me when I was farming my corals. Steve
and Terri clearly demonstrated the importance of conserving
species and habitats by making conservation exciting.

GARF
- The Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation
The Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation have been another
huge influence on me with their "zero impact" system
for setting up coral reef displays. These guys grow/make everything
at their facility in Boise (Idaho, US) - from coral frags
and live sand, through to home-made live rock!
|
Reefs
UK
A popular UK-based Reefkeeping forum. When I first started
propagating corals, I listed all of my frags on this site.
|
AquariumMalta
A forum for fishkeepers on the islands of Malta and Gozo,
covering all aspects of the fishkeeping hobby. I am half Maltese,
and it is great to discover that there is a thriving fishkeeping
community there!
|
The
Coral Garden
A Norfolk-based shop run by my good mate Steve Spray. Steve
gave me loads of support and advice when I was farming corals,
and his support and assistance was hugely appreciated.
