That firsthand experience is a major part of what makes Pacific East Aquaculture different. Dr. Mac does not simply sell marine life; he understands where it comes from, how it is collected or cultured, how it should be conditioned, and what it needs to thrive long term in a reef aquarium. His knowledge is built from professional veterinary pathology training, decades of direct observation, international travel, and daily hands-on work with corals, clams, fish, and invertebrates.

Pacific East Aquaculture has been serving serious reef hobbyists since 2000 and operates as a Maryland state licensed and inspected coral aquaculture facility. The facility grows thousands of coral frags annually and maintains many Pacific East Aquaculture exclusive corals through multiple generations, with new corals added to preserve genetic diversity and strengthen long-term aquaculture success.

Dr. Mac’s approach is rooted in animal health, sustainability, education, and responsible reef keeping. From coral propagation and clam culture to fish conditioning, live foods, acclimation, and reef aquarium husbandry, his goal has always been to help hobbyists succeed while supporting a more sustainable future for the marine aquarium hobby.

When customers buy from Pacific East Aquaculture, they are not only choosing healthy livestock. They are benefiting from decades of experience, scientific knowledge, veterinary pathology training, and the hands-on guidance of one of the most respected names in coral aquaculture and reef keeping.
