In this episode i spend about 15 minutes or so walking through a list of initial equipment that will be needed to setup the tank. Please forgive me, i had recorded this video 4 times so it was a bit of a struggle to get through some issues i was having.

"'That being said..."
Sorry I couldn't resist, the host Rob says that about 500 times over the course of these episodes and that's about all you can complain about. Oh and that he likes to talk over everyone during his podcast. Ok so that's two things. But seriously of all of the Marine Fish keeping podcasts on iTunes this one is the BEST! The information is solid, the amount of dialogue you can have with the host is outstanding, the website forum is unreal. Rob is pretty much the man, yeah I said it. The only bad thing honestly right now is that THERE ISN'T ANY NEW PODCASTS!! Where did they go Rob? Please update this Podcasts soon because no other one in the iTunes world even comes close!
Probably the best marine aquarium information podcast there is!
This pod cast provides extremely detailed information about different topics. I am a new marine aquarium owner and I have learned an extensive amount about reef keeping in a very short amount of time. The show goes into a lot of depth starting from relatively basic and moving into the more detailed information. Whether you are a newb to the marine aquarium world or are quite experienced, this pod cast is for you!
You will be a expert in 7 days
This pod cast is for everyone from beginners to advanced hobbyists. If you listen to it you will be an export before you know it. Rob tells every thing slowly and easy to under stand for beginners. He has his own web site where there are thousands of people willing to answer all your questions. There are also 4 way conversations to talk about different things. There is a new episode every week.
