Family First!

We are bringing you some bittersweet news this week as our family has decided to pass along the coral side of our business to another long time customer and vendor. Bulldawg Reef originated from a hobby over 12 years ago. We’ve come a long way, learned a lot, gained experience and ultimately wanted to share a passion of ours with others at an affordable price.

Over the past few years our family has grown after struggling to start a family for many years, and now we are expecting a baby boy in June. Our two girls 3 and 1 years old, are our priority and our time with them means more than anything. We also love our coral, fish, customers, and the family business we created. But at this time we feel like our time is precious with having young children, and we won’t get these days back.

In order to bring you quality coral that we strive to aquaculture and maintain, it also takes a significant amount of time as a small mom and pop shop. While we wish we could continue to do so, I still have my day job, and my wife is a stay at home mom to our girls, teaching them and balancing a busy household. We are beyond excited for the future of our family while equally saddened to put such a big part of our lives on hold. This has truly become a family business, our girls have gotten hands on and will continue to get to do so as we will continue phytoplankton and zooplankton. Over our years of being in the hobby, we saw how beneficial these products were to our tanks stability after years of trying other products and chemicals.

While the coral side of Bulldawg Reef is taking a pause, we will continue to offer phyto and zooplankton at the most affordable price. We look forward to spending these next few years dedicated to making our family a priority. We hope to keep in touch with our customers, follow your reefing journeys and bring you quality dry goods at an afforded price so you can continue to maintain a balanced reef. We look forward to the day we feel the time is appropriate to get back into coral and share our new journey with you!

Happy Reefing!
