A multi-year inspiration is back!

I’m stunned and delighted that he is back! I was about to re-listen to an old episode amidst the Ukraine turmoil and found fresh episodes from 2022. We love you man!

If you are new, this podcast offers in-depth perspective and real science for aquarium hobbyists. It’s a step above the usual advice on Youtube.
