Just Experiences, Not Professional Advice

The content on this channel is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Information shared reflects personal experiences and not professional advice. All views and opinions are those of the creators on SR or guests. Results may vary, and demonstrations or recommendations may not apply to everyone.

The information shared reflects personal experiences and is not professional advice. We make no representations regarding the accuracy, safety, completeness, or suitability of the content.

Product Preferences & Testing

Product testing featured in Serious Reefs content is based on our own experiences and the information we gather to evaluate products for ourselves. It is intended for informational purposes only. Your preferences and results may differ, and this video should not be the sole basis for any decisions. We recommend doing additional research or seeking professional advice to confirm and expand on the information provided.

We also encourage fellow reefers to peer review our findings by repeating or building upon our experiments and product tests. When we all reach the same results, the entire reefing community learns something new.

Privately Owned

Serious Reefs and Serious Endeavors LLC are 100 percent owned and operated by Melissa and Ryan Batcheller. While we hope SR becomes a profitable endeavor, we are equally committed to the mission even if it does not. That freedom would not be possible if we had outside investors.

Serious Reefs Is Unfiltered But Not Unbiased.

Absolutely Unfiltered
Serious Reefs does not accept sponsorships or any form of payment in exchange for reviews. It may be the most expensive way to do things, but it is also the only way to keep what we do unfiltered. We share it exactly how we see it.

We Embrace Bias
We embrace our bias toward the methods, companies, people, and products that have delivered the best results for us. The inverse is also true. We believe those experiences are likely why you are here.

No Shills
Authenticity comes first. Many of the presenters and guests on Serious Reefs own, work in, or have close friends within the reefing industry, but we are all here to share our expertise. The expectation is that the information shared remains honest, authentic, and genuinely helpful. At times, it may benefit the presenter or someone they know. That is simply the nature of a small, interconnected community like ours.

Reefer & Community Funded :

SR Memberships:
Member contributions fund the vast majority of what we do here. This ensures our financial incentives stay aligned with our mission: helping reefers build great tanks, explore new ideas, and spark interest in new areas of reefing.

Affiliate Links:
Serious Reefs uses affiliate links when discussing reefing equipment and technology. These links earn us a small commission at no additional cost to you, which helps support the work we do. Bookmarking and using this link helps the most. That said, we encourage reefers to shop wherever they receive the best service.

Batcheller Family Support:
One hundred percent of startup costs and any budget gaps are funded by Melissa and Ryan Batcheller. We thank you for the opportunity to do so.
