Today's episode is an interview with Ben, the owner of BSA Corals, focusing on his extensive experience and passion for the coral farming and collecting hobby. Ben, who has been in the aquarium business for over two decades, discusses his addiction to collecting high-quality corals and his strategy of sourcing directly from suppliers in places like Bali, emphasizing his preference for the "best stuff" rather than dealing with lower-grade specimens. The conversation covers the transition in the reef hobby from predominantly wild-caught organisms to modern aquaculture and mariculture practices, the use of nano reef tanks for portability, and the day-to-day operations of his 1,700-square-foot facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, which focuses heavily on propagating species like Eanthophilia.

Key Takeaways:

Prioritize quality in your endeavors, even if it means paying a little bit more for the best results.
Cultivate a deep addiction or passion for your interests, as this drives superior results.
Develop your visual intuition to understand the health and needs of a system without constant high-tech testing.
Focus on propagation and growth to ensure you can keep resources for yourself while sharing success with others.
Recognize that stability is key, as a good ecosystem allows things to be hardy and resilient to shifts.
