Episode 7 - Andy Griffith is a Dirty Boy

Terence has an incident on his tank. Sharing corals is so cool, hear about one hobbyist who really cares about sharing in this hobby.  Seen those pics on social media where the hobbyist lays out the dead fish and snaps a pic -- well Terence and Rich have a lot to say on this one - and no surprise - they don't agree!

Episode 5 - "Just bang it on the counter", he said

We Reef. And we know things.It’s a podcast, about reef keeping, by two reef keepers that are polarizing enough to be interesting.Terence says – Rich and I decided that we mattered – to ourselves! So we wanted to make a podcast that would share our passion for the marine aquarium and reef keeping hobby, our knowledge about it, and have some fun doing it. Please join us as we have fun and (hopefully) give you some good insight on topics like: new products, industry highlights, husbandry tips, and ethics – but most importantly, engage you and make you think.

Rich gives us a run down on his trip to Tonga, we discuss if vinegar can eat aquarium plastics, idiot-proofing tanks, and the (some would say) lament of how expensive this hobby is becoming... really?

The Skimmate Podcast with Rich and Terence (Pilot Episode)

Absolutely love the cast and there is not enough good reefing cast out there. Good info and love the humor.

Absolutely love the cast

Love the podcast. Extremely enjoyable, and informative. High level content from experienced reefers for experienced reefers. Rich Ross, please continue pissing Terrance off. I have several friends who refuse to listen, despite my continued prodding, because Terrance is on the podcast. Your quips and calling him out may slowly convince them. If Neptune controllers sponsors the podcast I’m buying a GHL.

Suggestions for future topics: Would love to hear more about caring for difficult critters . First feeds for breeding, and NPS care would be awesome. Would also love to hear about Neptune’s development and manufacturing process and considerations when developing products.
