SERIOUS REEFS PODCAST
SR Cast is Serious Reefs weekly reef tank podcast featuring in depth discussions on coral, saltwater fish, and reefing techniques. Episodes run 30 minutes to hours, however long it takes to explore each topic with clarity and depth. Most are filmed live and uncut, offering a real nuanced look at the biggest conversations in reefing. Expect everything from special guests with hands on experience to breakdowns of current events, research articles, videos, and forum threads that shape the way modern reefers think. We aim to release a new SR Cast episode every Wednesday.
The Ultimate Salt Test: Are We Choosing Reef Salt by Feelings or Data?
Choosing a salt mix for a reef tank often feels like a ritual: we use what our buddy uses, what the local shop stocks, or the brand with the flashiest packaging. That approach works a surprising amount of the time, but it leaves out something important — data. Ryan Thompson decided to take a step back from brand loyalty and anecdote and look at what’s actually inside the buckets we pour into our systems. Test results were shared in a popular thread on reef2reef. For more details on how Ryan Thompson performed his test check out the reef2reef thread where he shared his approach and findings.
