Excited for Monsoon Aquatics

12/10/2023

I've been a bit quiet for a while, not because I'm not doing any disks or tiles etc it's just because I can't show you what I've been making. What I can say is I've had many steep learning curves involving polyurethane testing, silicone rubber, protland cement, Activated Carbon, Crushed Shell just to name a few items. It will be good when I can finally show you the collaborations I've been involved with, in regards to Coral Spawning.

I get asked to do all sorts of weird and wonderful reef related shapes. Do you know what this shape is?

17/04/2023

A very sad sign of the times when you put out 2 x 25kg boxes of disks out for the courier only for them to be stolen. I guess it looked appealing as it had "fragile" on them both. Boy, will they be disappointed. Bloody arseholes

03/03/2023

When possible, I'm giving the disks a good pressure wash. It doesn't seem to get rid of all the dust, so you'll have to give them a quick swish around before using, just to be sure..

This is my all time favourite fish

Don’t mess with this fish! The mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus) is one of the only species known to produce its own true blue coloring. Thanks to cyanophores, light-reflecting cells that are blue in pigment, this fish is clad in one of the animal kingdom’s rarest hues. But did you know that this striking shade is actually a warning to potential foes? While many species of fish have scales for self-defense, the mandarinfish has none. Instead, it produces a smelly, foul-tasting toxic mucus that makes it unappetizing to predators!

Hope everyone had a good Xmas.
The few weeks leading upto Xmas have been difficult with supply of ceramic and then time in the Cardiac ward. I am trying to get as much of the back orders made as I can with some help but for now I'm a bit restricted. Hope you all have a good New Year

22/11/2022

Off to Cairns from the 4rh to the 10th December. Planning on annoying those at Monsoon Aquatics and Sustainable Reefs while I'm there.
That means no new orders until I get back . Sorry but I've got a load to do before I go.

Well done Sophie and Monsoons

Australia's largest exporter of coral and exotic marine life has celebrated its biggest spawning of giant clams, with staff eagerly watching as the clams develop their colour.

31/08/2022

Just having a go with some clam pillows for a customer. Let's see what they think then I'll be making lots of moulds.

Pribiotics for Coral aquaculture?
Interesting.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-03/could-probiotics-help-save-the-great-barrier-reef/101120966

Probiotics are often promoted as a way to improve gut health, but scientists say they could also play a vital role in boosting the immunity of coral transplants on the reef.

10/06/2022

Thought I'd have a go with some left over brown. Made it a bit darker and added specks of other colours

30/05/2022

Looking great.

Here's a progress picture of the zoa garden we've put together with no less than 20 different varieties of zoanthid. Rock supplied by Reef Aqua Australia. I can't wait to see it fully grown out.

09/04/2022

Just been trying out a few ideas. These are made as Zoa Garden Rocks. They are hollow underneath. Ranging in size from approximately 6cm to 12cm. Great for Nano tanks. Keeps your Zoas in check. Will look at doing larger ones with holes for plugs to fit in at a later date.

This is a great page to follow and see the good work that's being done especially by Sustainable Reefs

Monsoons in the news again. This time in Darwin
https://www.territoryq.com.au/nation-enjoys-our-monsoon/

Monsoon Aquatics, a world-leading supplier of premium, hand-picked Australian coral and marine life, increased its sales by 35 percent in the last financial year and exports by 18 percent.

27/01/2022

Was quite proud that someone ( not sure who) had told the local newspaper about my business and me and they decided to do a story.
Not sure I wanted people to know my struggles but it is what it is.

Is this the most amazing video you will see?

Thank you

Ok, it's not so exciting for everyone else but is for me. Finally get my new stainless steel mixing impellors. Now for the ss rod and some welding and it's good to go.

27/09/2021

It's been along time of fitting in with other businesses firing schedules but I've finally found a kiln that will fit nicely in a space in the garage. Not as big as I wanted but will still do a fair few disks at once. Probably get it in a few weeks. Need a sparky to put in a 20amp line in

12/08/2021

Extra thick Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue gel). Perfect for fragging.
20gr tubes now on special for a ridiculous $6.75 + postage. Why not do a group buy as 500gr postage starts from $8.50!

12/08/2021

Finally got some charcoal 20mm and 30mm plugs and 30mm square bevelled made and bagged. They go nearly black when wet. Want some? Just message me..

21/06/2021

So many beautiful corals. Will be back tomorrow to talk new frag disk designs
