Nice Podcast! :)

That was an awesome podcast. I actually had the pleasure of meeting the marine biologist Jake Adams when he was in Las Vegas. He was kind enough to stop by our reef club and give a lecture on the importance of water movement/flow in aquariums. It was a great lecture and changed the way I think about current in my tank. He pointed it out how good, chaotic flow is more important than light!!!! Maybe he could do another podcast in the future?

Jake has done many past shows, and im sure he will continue doing them n the future.. :)
