GET IN ON THE MAGIC WITH DOUBLE THE COPEPOD BUFFETS AND 15% OFF CLEAN UP CREW MEMBERS*

*$60 minimum CUC purchase for CUC discount. Double Pods = 2x the density per bottle of any Copepod Buffet no minimum. This promotion ends at Midnight, Tuesday, September 29th.

We are excited to announce that construction of our new facility expansion has been completed. This renovation has encompassed 2 years and many vision changes throughout the process. What began as simply relocating our existing production and containment systems into a large scale expansion.

WE GOT THE REEF!
THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS!


Our new Invert systems based on total water volume including our original 240 gallon system now exceeds 800 gallons. These systems are monitored for Temp, pH and Salinty and automated using Hydros Launch Controllers. We have Integrated the latest technology and high end equipment to ensure the best environment for the creatures that pass through our care.

Our copepod system utilizes what we have developed as the best culturing process for highest density cultures. During the expansion process we have cultivated and added new species. This brings our current species count to 12 unique and separate species of copepods both benthic (crawlers) and pelagic (Free Swimmers). This diversity separates use from our competitors for a number of reasons. First and foremost is we have sought the species with the highest reproduction rates. Not just for us, but faster reproduction equates to higher probability of colonization in your systems under the right conditions. More species diversity also means different pods serve different purposes from cleaning to constant food source. The variety in size and where they live (sand, rock, or water column) provides for fish in these same areas.

Custom proprietary lighting, enhanced bio security, expanded strains and so much more all went into our new and improved phytoplankton culturing room and system. As our business has grown, so has our demand for phytoplankton. Another set of factors that set us apart from our competition, is rather than making more batches of the same phytoplankton, we do the research and add new strains to increase production capacity. Why? Because every different strain has a unique nutritional and physical profile. One of our strains is heavily used in raising clams, scallops and oysters due to its shape and nutrient composition, another brightens the reds and oranges in our corals. Different sizes, cell composition and levels such as fat, HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acids), amino acids, lipids and more all have unique qualities and provide different results for our tanks. While others attempt to replicate this, Reef By Steele LLC were the pioneers, there was not a single commercial company offering more than a few of the easiest strains to culture.

Macro Algae, while construction is complete, grow out of some of our macro algae species will take some time before we can offer them for sale. We are currently culturing 12 clean tank cultured species plus our wild diver direct Chaetomorpha.

EXPERIENCE THE STEELE ADVANTAGE
THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC IS VERIFIED!


We use a combination of microscopes, computer enhancements, Sedgwick Rafter Scales and more to inspect and ensure that our products meet or high standards, densities and the quality you deserve in your systems. We would never sell or ship a product we would not use in our own systems.

Scope1.jpg


LOW PRICES + HIGH QUALITY = GREAT VALUE!
THIS IS HOW THE MAGIC GETS TO YOU!


Combine that with our recently complete shipping station, with everything at our fingertips so we can get even more packages out the door. Again we didn’t skimp or look for a shortcut, but used design and proximity to enable us to increase our output, while still providing the excellence in care and packaging you have come to know and trust.

That shelf of various Phyto strains is amazing!! I wish I had room to do that!!
Dmitry,

Thanks. It is a lot of fun and work. In our basement I had a 23” shelf flat in the ground and a 15” shelf attached to stand up in the middle with lights mounted on both side of the vertical board. It was 6’ long and I could culture over 20 1 gallon vessels on it. I have gallons running in the other side, above the macros to maintain a clean backup incase any crash.
