Luigi Castelnuovo
I am a passionate reefer. By day, I work as a psychotherapist. In my free time, I’m all about hiking the nearby mountains with friends and soaking up nature. I also love spending time at home with my cat, who’s my trusty reef assistant. Maintaining a reef tank is a big hobby of mine, and as a creative person, I also enjoy making videos of corals and taking pictures of mountains.

Michael Harman
A nano reef enthusiast who enjoys creating atypical environments for inhabitants to thrive. I’ve been in the hobby for around 12 years and it’s incredible how fast things change. Consecutively reefing four years after a short break. Nano reefs have quickly become a niche of mine, I enjoy showing that anything is possible in them.

Tim Lov
I grew up with the same childlike wonder as anyone else, fascinated by the colors and alien like world under the surface of the oceans reefs. I grabbed my first reef tank in middle school when I was about 11 years old and even after my extended time with the United States Military, that passion remained. My approach to reefing has evolved into experimenting with different techniques to improve coral health and growth while stepping out of the norms of generic reef advice. Shallow reefs have always had a special place with me so that’s what I focus on. Mahalo and Happy Reefing

Roberto Faffini
Hi, I’m Faffini Roberto aka FaffoReef, named after an aquarium enthusiast, I’ve owned one since I was 15. I started with tropical aquariums and then fell in love with marine ones. I am a metalworker, in my free time I go to the gym, I really like to keep active and fit. My passion, however, remains the aquarium, I can’t do without it, in the evening I take a thousand photos and videos of it, I dedicate myself entirely to it. My tank is a 300 liter aquarium, with hybrid lighting, consisting of a LED ceiling light and T5. I mostly breed SPS corals including acropora and millepore. My consistency and dedication makes it improve visibly, in a short time I achieved beautiful results with extraordinary colours.

Tommy Schofield
I’m 26 love riding my many motorcycles, I’m a chef in the fine dining industry, cooking for others is a great feeling when people enjoy what you do. I love animals and wildlife some people call me crazy for keeping so many pets like freshwater fish, marine reefs, pond fish, spiders, praying mantis, a chinchilla and my chubby bulldog called Doris. I’ve kept fish for all my life from what I can remember and it’s a massive passion of mine, my partner would say I pay more attention to them than I do with her.

I maintain a vibrant mixed reef aquarium, a 600-liter tank powered by LEDs and gyres. Regarding my collections, my favorite includes unique corals like Pink Lemonade Acropora, Strawberry Shortcake, variety of torches, hammers , and various stunning zoas. My dedication to the hobby ensures a thriving and colourful underwater ecosystem.

Akhil Valiyil
Hey! I’m Akhil, relatively a new comer to the reef-keeping hobby. In the 5 years of this hobby, I have had a good positive ratio of success and failures mainly due to other passionate and helpful reefers. There are ready to give you a tip or an advice at any moment. That is why I love this hobby – collectively help each other to bring out the best aesthetically and also for the animals we take care of inside the ecosystem we create. Apart from keeping and maintaining beautiful systems, I would love to inspire and help fellow upcoming reefers.
Francesco Quattrocchi
I’m Francesco, I’m 47 years old and I’ve been the owner of Animal Instinct since 2003. After working for about 8 years in a historic bar in the centre of Rome I decided to open my own business, a pet shop, especially aquariums, that reflected my passion and my love for this world. My parents were happy, very happy, since from then on I would no longer try to glue the shelves of the house to create aquariums, tubs for more, that were short-lived, they came off and ended up flooing the whole house.
I opened the store and called it “Animal Instinct” after the Cranberries song, at the beginning it was a niche reality known only in Rome and surroundings, for a few years instead, with the contribution of social networks, we have managed to make ourselves known in Italy and also abroad.

Rachel Brown
I’m Rachel Brown, and I’ve been the proud owner of an AF OceanGuard system since 2024. This amazing system has made it so much easier to maintain perfect water conditions, allowing my fish and corals to thrive in a beautifully balanced environment. Watching my marine life flourish has brought me so much joy, and my aquarium has become a true centerpiece in my home.

Daniel Różana
In everyday life, a proud father and a talented hairdresser — after hours, Dr. Scaper. He has been involved in broadly defined aquaristics since 2018. Although he is a relatively new face in Polish aquascaping, his arrangements are already considered by many to be exemplary in terms of the aesthetic combination of hardscape and lush vegetation. As he himself says, “My arrangements are not aimed at competitions but at the sensitive eyes of the viewers. In my hobby, I value aesthetics, healthy plants, and the life inside the aquarium. I like to experiment, but what matters most to me are easy, and most importantly, stable and safe solutions in aquaristics.” Aquaforest ambassador since 2020.

Rocky Eliseo
Hi! My name is Rocky Eliseo aka the Koralito on social media. I’ve been an aquarist since I was 8 years old and only been reefing for 5 years. I was featured in both CORAL magazine and Koralle magazine for their aquarium portrait. I was also named as Reef2Reef Reef of the Month and the first ever TSA Coral Smackdown Champion. Currently, I have 6 reef tanks and a koi pond.
