Introduction, then maybe some news, a Monologue, then main topic, a Q&A from listeners, and finally a conclusion. |
Thank you again, the feedback is a great help

Subscribing is for future shows. it means to use a podcast client such as iTunes and creating a podcast subscription (free) to the shows feed. What this does is wehn itunes is running it will automatically check and download any new shows that are released. this is helpful for people that listen to multiple pdocasts, or want to automate the downloading or the shows as they are released. see here for more details on this process

Also, when you simply let water pass through on top of the bucket, the effluent is not "exposed" long enough to be filtered by the RDSB. If you have to have a functional DSB, the most effective way is to do it is IN the display. |
Remote
DSB are infact very effective, however i am not certain that the use of a RDSB in a bucket as discussed in this episode is effective. the way it was used here its a "Fluidized bed filter". I believe Bobby (IReef IKeeper) is currently re-evaluating his setup based on these details. A common RDSB is more along the methods i describe in which a secondary tank or
refugium is setup with a
DSB.
