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?
