  • Love the podcast but

    Love the podcast, it’s probably changed my life! (not sure if for better or worse). However they really lost me when they started to bad mouth the awesome product known as the eco aqualizer.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

145 - HIRED! Good, Better, Ben
Q: What's the best way to go about creating current in a 72-inch long tank using four MP40s?
Start by putting two MP40s on each end of the tank, one high and one low, and see how the plume moves across the tank. You may need to adjust and fine-tune the flow pattern for optimal current.
103 - Cooking Twinkies
Q: What is the responsibility of larger companies in ensuring sustainability within the aquarium industry?
Larger companies should prioritize sustainability, but often their motive is profit rather than true commitment to the hobby.
115 - Weirdos Coming Together w/ Salem Clemens
Q: What are you not comfortable giving advice about in the hobby?
Salem indicates he's uncomfortable giving advice about plumbing and certain equipment due to his limited experience.
115 - Weirdos Coming Together w/ Salem Clemens
Q: What practical background do you have in the hobby? What have you kept?
Salem shares that he has been in the hobby for a decade and learned through books and hands-on experiences at various aquatics departments.
118 - Information Mavens
Q: Can you guys talk about principles and basics of coral fragging?
When to do it? You should do it when corals are about to grow into each other or when you see that a coral colony is dieing underneath because it has grown too big.
