Midnight Sun Aquaculture began with a life-long love of the ocean. We have been keeping coral and marine fish for well over a decade, and truly enjoy bringing a small piece of the reef into our daily lives.
In early 2007 we decided to take it one step further. Aquaculture and mariculture represent the future of the hobby, and allow the reef-keeping community to enjoy live coral while reducing the environmental impact. We feel that the coral reefs of the world are some of our greatest natural treasures, and suspect that our customers share that belief. The number of wild-collected corals imported to the United States is well into the millions, and the mortality and long-term survival rates for these are extremely low. Aquaculture allows us to reduce these wild collections, and at the same time offer specimens that are fully acclimated to aquarium life.
We are always looking for new aquaculture partners, and continually improving our propagation techniques. So far, we’ve had outstanding success with various zoanthids, palys, leathers, mushrooms and anemones; in the future we hope to expand our portfolio even more.
Our primary sales focus is two-fold: Online Retail and Wholesale. While our facility is not open to the public, we do offer a selection of our coral through our online store for those who do not have a local retailer of aquacultured products. Additionally, our online store offers products from some of our favorite manufacturers – these equipment sales help subsidize our aquaculture propagation efforts.
If you do have a local retailer that carries aquacultured products (hopefully ours!), we encourage you to give them the opportunity to earn your business.
