Hello, I'm Reefer Matt! I created this Youtube channel to inspire and help other Reefers. I'm not an influencer, I'm an advanced hobbyist. I have eight years experience in reefing, five tanks, and own an at home aquaculture business. I design and make my own 3d printed gear, and offer them online and at local trade shows. My BL Makerworld page is at: makerworld.com/@reefermatt

My main display tank is an all SPS reef aquarium that is seven years old, and won Reef2Reef's Reef of the Month in November 2025! I am also a regular contributor on R2R, and a part of the Reef Squad.

Here on YouTube, I aim to visualize my reefing and show by example how easy and achievable it can be! I hope you'll consider joining me in the journey, and share yours along the way. I always look forward to seeing your progress, and will be here when you need help. Thank you for your time, I wish you a successful reefing journey! Happy Reefing!
