MACNA 2011 Presenter Profile: Rogger Castells

Hi, my name is Chef Rogger.

I started working with Marine Aquariums at a very early age. I was seven when my aunt gave me my first ten gallon fish tank. This was originally set up as a fresh water tank that quickly became a saltwater tank. From there it evolved into many successful marine aquariums.

In the early nineteen eighties my lifelong passion as an aquarist flourished when I obtained my Scuba Certification and spent several summers observing fish behavior in the Galapagos Islands. It was at this point in my life that my respect for the sea and its inhabitants became an integral part of my life. My second passion was in the culinary arts. After obtaining my culinary degree from Johnson & Whales University in Rhode Island I started my career as a Professional Chef.     Chef Rogger

It’s been a long journey with lots of trial and errors but my two passions have finally come together. My years of marine research and love for the culinary arts have facilitated the creation of Roger’s Fish Food. As word got out, my fish food became quite popular among my local fish club members, Florida Marine Aquarium Society, which I currently preside. I am proud to now make my fish food accessible to aquarists around the country. The products now come in two proudly presented formulas Complete Blend and Complete Blend Plus.

Instant Reef is a division of Archer Company USA Inc. We are specialized in manufacturing saltwater fish, marine fish, coral reef aquarium, freshwater fish aquarium decoration, artificial coral reef inserts, custom coral reefs for all size aquarium projects.

Instant Reef produces some of the largest and finest reproductions of artificial coral on the market today. Our coral reef reproductions were made from real coral specimens that were collected by international aquariums from various locations around the world. Special care and specially granted permits were used at that time to collect these gorgeous corals. The replicas that have been made from the molds taken from these corals have been used for supplying aquariums around the world for decades helping to prevent untold damage to natural reefs which might have otherwise been ravaged for the coral specimens.

Instant Reef is now making these corals available to the public in the form of beautifully arranged artificial coral reef aquarium inserts. Made from the highest grades of materials, the reef inserts are hand-crafted by talented artists who take great pride in creating wonders of nature.

We can make any size of coral reef for any aquarium. All corals can be made to your specified color requests. Please contact us if you do not see a coral reef insert that fits your specific needs. No matter whether you are a saltwater fish or coral reef aquarium hobbyist, aquarium supply store owner, saltwater reef aquarium leasing business or contracting public aquarium projects, Instant Reef can always provide you the best quality artificial coral reef inserts at competitive prices.
