About Us

Welcome to Blue Basin Aquatics!

Hi there, I’m Ricardo Modeste, the founder and driving force behind Blue Basin Aquatics.  I’ve always had a passion for the ocean and the incredible life within it.

Blue Basin Aquatics started as a dream to bring a piece of the reef into people’s homes. With a background in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, I’ve poured my experience and love for marine life into creating a space where hobbyists can find top-quality corals and trusted advice.

Here at Blue Basin Aquatics, we specialize in vibrant, sustainably sourced corals, especially those stunning softies and SPS varieties. My goal is to help you succeed in your reef-keeping journey—whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned aquarist looking for that perfect new addition.
