Hello,
I was going to make a post on epoxy, and saw that Machado's post had some news and decided to check.
Before all, I must say I'm a friend of Machado and have been following the Maternity since it was just an idea in Machado's head, more than 5 years ago.
In my profession, the commercial activities are always welcomed (couldn't survive without them).
About the commercial intends of Machado, unfortunately he never decided to do that, not that I'm not 100% for it, and always trying to persuade him to.
I remember, one year ago saying: You must sell some of this.
And he said: Why ?
I replied: Why not ? It's not normal, to have this massive production without selling any.
And Machado answered: Why not ? I like it. And, by the way, how's to say what normality is ?
A stubborn type, I say.
The destination of the corals ..... I don't know if I can say this, but, I've been offered a few, and, besides me, there must be others. And even being the Lord of the Frags (as someone called him) there are experiments that don't work so great (he has a bucket full of bad experiences - dead corals) and the system is still growing.
Machado also has a topic on the Portuguese’s forums, and let me say, they do not have half of the information posted here. He once told me: Pedro, you can't imagine, if I say something at Reefcentral, people make me all kinds of questions, and there’s experience sharing, in there. It's amazing.
For a commercial propose, I think Machado had already went too far: He explains everything to everyone, with photos and detailed information. Who does that, with commercial propose ?
If he wanted to sell, believe me, he would have clients for it (even I get bombed with people asking: Could you ask your friend to sell me some frags ? I would not tell anyone.
As for the Reefcentral decision, whatever it is, must be respected. This is not a anarchy, it have rules, but, this is not a democracy either, it's not what everyone wants. It has rules, and the decision of the administrators have to be respected, as in a company.
I can have my opinion, I'm entitled to it, but, the board of administrators have the last word; what they say, goes.
One thing is for sure: Few people give this contribution and have catch so much attention at Reefcentral.

So instead of arguing over something that is completely irrelevant, lets get back to reefing.
