The SKIMMATE PodCast with Rich and Terence Podcast

We Reef. And we know things. It’s a podcast, about reef keeping, by two reef keepers that are polarizing enough to be interesting. Terence says – Rich and I decided that we mattered – to ourselves! So we wanted to make a podcast that would share our passion for the marine aquarium and reef keeping hobby, our knowledge about it, and have some fun doing it. Please join us as we have fun and (hopefully) give you some good insight on topics like: new products, industry highlights, husbandry tips, and ethics – but most importantly, engage you and make you think.
