Hey Rob,

Been awhile since my last post and have a bunch more questions that might make good shows. First a couple general questions:

1. I am really interested in doing my own phyto and brine hatching, I saw your videos, however they are in a format that I can see but not hear. Is there any possible way to get these in .mpg format?

2. TiVo. Tivo has its own podcasting ability in it and I would love to listen to through TiVo, however I can not seem to get the correct path for the URL of the site, what is it?

Possible good shows:

1. Closed loops - Seems like they are a pretty hyped topic over the last couple years but I really do not see the benefit of them over wavemakeers. What exactly are they, how do they benefit over say, wavemakers, powerheads, wave buckets, etc.

2. DIY Reef Rock - AKA Aragocrete. I actaully have started doing this and seems like a really cheap and easy way to save you a ton of $$$. It almost seems too easy and wonder what long term effect one should consider when doing this.

3. The vodka method. First heard about this in Reef Central then again in Sprungs Vol 3 book. Is this really the "magic pill" for eliminating Nitrates?

4. Aquascaping - I never seem to be satisfied with my rock work. Sprung talks briefly about this in Vol 1 but not with good diagrams. Whenever I seem to do my aquascaping I seem to comeback to the old rock wall method. And in a 75 you just do not have that much room to do anything really creative.

Great show, Thanks

thanks..
let me address some of these.

1. the shows are in iPod (m4v) format which should be playing in Quicktime or iTunes. if this is not working, i would recommend re-downloading a fresh copy, and making sure your version of quicktime and itunes are up to date. if you still have issues contact me through email or PM and we can work on it.

2.) from what i know about the tivo service you need the link to the podcast feed, and that is here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Talkingreef

Shows
1.) Closed loop, yes, this is coming, i am going to be doing a video on it in the future, sorry no time frame yet

2.) Aragocrete - i have asked a few times in the past if people were interested and i really didnt get much response. so if there is interest now, i will get working on that.. :)

3.) vodka - i have never used or researched this, so i cant comment on it

4.) aquascaping - i am not the best at this, but will be covering it in a future video.. :)

hope that helps ya out.
