Reinventing How You Reef & Overcoming Plateaus (Mike Paletta + Multiple Guests)
For the our first episode of 2025, we bring you a discussion with multiple guests, looking to reinventing how you run your reef and to potentially overcome plateaus. Adam Talks to Mike Paletta (author and recipient of the 2022 MASNA Award), John Yull (Reefworks Corals) Dmitry Tumanov (Treasure Corals) and Allan Vo (The Coral Reeftank) to get different perspectives on this very broad topic. They discuss ways to improve colour, growth and maybe when it’s time to do a reset or make a more dramatic change.
