Cycling - Podcast Episode 50

[Rob]

We Made It!!
Here we are at Episode 50
In this show i give you a bit of an idea where Talkingreef started at and how we have grown, but the main show topic is on cycling. I know i have covered this in many other shows, but here i actually go into the details of what you are doing and why. It is more targeted at new hobbyists, but im sure there is something for everyone. The idea here is that its important to know what to do, but even more important to know why you are doing it

Congrats on the 50th episode!

I agree with Gwen...very cool intro from down under! ...gotta love that accent.

One note about using newspaper to clean your tank glass. You may want to wear gloves...as the ink from the newspaper may end up all over your hands. Sometimes it won't, but it may.....so just be aware of that.

[CarmieJo]

I usually get ink on my hands. However, our local paper uses soy based ink it washes right off, doesn't stain and doesn't seem to irritate my hands.

yay! 50 podcast. crazy nuts. i wonder later on down the road will we still be using this forum like let's say 2 years from now. like i always see the same names posting and we know each other by first name now. i wonder how it will be when we get to let's say podcast 150. i love this forum!

Congratulations on your 50th show!

With respect to "cycling the tank". I like to talk in terms of "establishing a cycle in the tank". So for example

"After your tank has finished cycling..." becomes "After you have established a cycle in your tank..."

This is my first post here, so I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know that I enjoy listening to your show.

Keep up the great work!

Regards,
Herman

welcome herm...
and i like it...

as i mentioned, "finishing your cycle" is a very inaccurate term, but i havent been able to find the right words.. "establishing your cycle" is great...

thats what im using.. thanks..

Hi Herm,

Welcome to TR. Great idea on "establishing a cycle".

[dreams]

congrats!...and love the aussie addition:-)

[rmulet]

50 shows and growing stronger! I like the way this one was put together too.
Think about it, the show is like a reef tank too! It went through it's cycle, got some brown algae outbreaks (the sound quality in the beginning), added some clean up crews (fixed the titles on the podcasts), corraline algae established itself (the people subscribing to the show), corals and fish added (sponsers), testing regularly (community updates). I'd say your well established!!!!
Here's to another 50!

i wouldn't say "well established" just yet , but i love the analogy, and the appreciation...

thanks everyone...

[herm]

G'day,
I figured that I should probably own up to the fact that I am the "Aussie" with the accent. Thanks for your warm welcome.
Cheers,
Herman

[CarmieJo]

Hi Herman! That was certainly the way to enter with flair! Welcome to TR.
