Jeff’s podcast has been a phenomenal resource for me as a new reefer. His top 10 lists have served as great starting points for me with making stocking decisions in my first reef tank. Some of my favorite episodes have been the ones where he interviews a fellow reefer to do deeper dives into topics like culturing phytoplankton, breeding fish, and the Triton method. Would love to see more like this in the future. Make sure you go check out what he’s doing at his local fish store: Corals Unlimited (coralsunlimited.com) Keep up the great work!

Every time I google anything Jeff seems to have the answer! 10/10 would recommend it easy listening for anytime of day!

I’m new to the saltwater hobby. I’m currently cycling my Waterbox Reef 220.6! Life made me take a break from aquariums for several years (former keeper of African cichlids). Jeff and his podcast/YouTube channel have been great at providing me with the good, the bad and the ugly of reef keeping. I’ve gained a lot of great nuggets from Jeff. I appreciate how he isn’t afraid to share insight gained from past mistakes. He wants to help new reefers have as smooth of a process into the hobby and navigate the challenges ahead. I’ve learned about how to handle certain reef problems that I haven’t experienced yet. I always enjoy him diving into articles or interesting topics on reef2reef as well. He’s introduced me to a lot of really cool fish, inverts and corals through his top 10s. His stocking plan episode has helped me get a solid game plan which I’m hoping to execute soon. Keep up the great work! Thanks for all the time and dedication you’ve put into both the pod and your channel. Stay salty! Brian from Nashville, TN

Very entertaining “self-banter” (if that’s a word) and educational without making the beginning reefers feel stupid. I’ve even re-listened to a few episodes to revisit some topics. Owner doesn’t claim to know everything which is much more welcoming to new hobbyists

This podcast is great and so informative. I’m thinking about setting up a reef tank and it has been so helpful

Really enjoy the podcast. Excellent content well explained. This podcast is absolutely adding to my knowledge and enjoyment of the hobby!

I’ve been listening to and occasionally recording podcasts since 2005, and it is rare to find a show as put together as Jeff’s outside of pro broadcasters. His sound is consistently good, his pace is nearly perfect, and despite owning companies that operate within the aquarium space this is far from an infomercial, it’s simply good honest content we all want to hear. If I had to nitpick I would say his transitional music is a couple beats too long, but that is really nitpicking. As for content? It’s tried and true techniques from and experienced hobbyist and is on point and on time. If you are a saltwater aquarist or desire to be, this is a must listen.

Great podcast. Really enjoy how Jeff openly shares his successes as well as his failures. It’s also great to get behind the scenes info from a fish store owner, so hobbyists, like myself, can get a different point of view. I usually find myself enjoying episodes while doing maintenance on my tank. Highly recommend.

How good is this podcast…I listen to it…and I don’t even own a saltwater tank! Lol keep up the great work and I eventually do want to venture into the hobby!

Great show jeff is great and his passion for the hobby is contagious at times. Lots of different angles and every episode is different from the last . Every Wednesday morning I can’t wait to listen!

I enjoy listening to the rambling of someone who loves the hobby as much as I. Someone willing to sequester themselves in a small room with recording equipment and put some sort of sound proofing on the wall. Someone who, like me, slowly descends further into the madness that is reefing. In all honesty, this pod cast has quickly become one of my favorites. And I look forward to it each week. This is one of a small list of reef podcasts that I will listen to (oftentimes more than once) as I work. Thank you so much. Bob aka Mr. Reef Safe.

The Saltwater Aquarium Radio podcast is one of my favorites; a combination of knowledge, stories, news and entertainment. Jeff is passionate for the reefing hobby. You can tell he puts a ton of time and effort into each podcast. He keeps it upbeat and fun. Jeff takes emails from customers and even read my question over the air - and provided a very good answer/solution. Thanks Jeff! Keep up the good work!

Jeff, I’ve watched you on the YouTube for a few years and just started listening to the podcast last month I’ve made it through all the episodes on apple and now I’m working through the older ones online! Keep them coming I enjoy listening while I drive all over Illinois making sales calls always good content and entertaining!!!

Thanks Jeff. You do great work. Stay salty.

Jeff takes the time to explain things well and even giving information I haven’t heard or read anywhere else. This is especially helpful those new to the hobby as myself. Do yourself a favor and listen to all the episodes. Doing so will help making your reefing life better.

Whether you’re a new or old hobbyist, this podcast is “super necessary” for your salty adventure. Keep up the good work, Jeff. Sending good vibes and congrats on your fish store from sunny California.

This is fun, informative and on point. Thank you for the info. Brittany Gerken

One of his top items for a nano reef tank is salt. Useless advice. Not everyone needs a RODI unit either. In some cases, carbon blocks are fine.

This podcast is literally the best podcast. From large to nano tanks, it has what you need. Really helped me get my 10g nano tank started. Always looking forward to new episodes. Stay salty.

I love Jeff’s Podcast and Utube channel. He inspired me to begin my first saltwater tank. Felt like I’ve learned so much and he is still teaching. Keep the podcast and videos coming. Much appreciated and thank you for introducing me to this hobby.

I am a brand new hobbyists and all I can say is thank you! I was overwhelmed with the amount of videos on YouTube and I was second guessing my decision to pursue the saltwater aquarium hobby. That completely changed when I started listening to your podcast. I listen to it all the time in the car, at work, and at home. It gave me the confidence to continue in the hobby and I can now say I have successfully added fish to my nano reef tank. Thank you so much Jeff!

Hey Jeff your podcast are the absolute best! I work an outside job, and listen to your podcasts all day long. Most useful information, and great questions from the audience to be answered. These podcasts have got me subscribed to mystery reef box, looking forward to my first box. Keep it going and much love from SoCal.

I’ve been listening to your podcast pretty recently. I’m new to saltwater tanks, but I find a lot of your episodes very informational. One of my favorite episodes is the one about aquaculture. I really enjoyed listening about aquaculture and is a goal of me to do with my pair of clownfish. Make sure you document when you start your journey. I’ll be watching out for it!

Thank you Jeff for the insight and knowledge that you’ve been passing along. I’ve been putting together a little 30gallon reef tank for the last few months and you’ve helped with the stocking plan and the general knowledge on how I can better maintain my system. I cannot say thank you enough and please keep kicking the tires and lighting the fires!

Hey, I really appreciate this podcast, I work in the pest control field, and I always have headphones on tuning in. I appreciate you Stay bless

I’ve listened to every episode and they are all good! If you haven’t listened to this podcast and you have a reef tank your missing out! Keep up the good work Jeff!

Hey Jeff, I want to thank you for providing all your invaluable information. I’ve been listening to your podcast even before getting into the hobby. I am now the proud owner of a 60 gal cube reef tank and enjoy being able to apply information I learn from your podcast directly to my tank. Thanks again man. Keep lighting the fires and kicking the tires 🔥

Been listening for awhile, really enjoy the content and all the knowledge. I have learned a lot from this show. Thank you Jeff, stay salty

Hi Jeff, Your podcast is amazing! I listen every Monday on the way to work. It is a great escape from politics, covid, and all the other things happening in 2020. Cant wait to here more as you build your new aquaculture tank. I am from RI and after hearing your story about your favorite LFS closing I had to mention OSA in Coventry RI! Next time your south of Maine check out Scott and the guys at OSA. Stephen from RI

Well I finally did it, I listened to every episode and all I have to say is that 5 stars isn’t enough. Every time I had a question about my reef tank, Jeff had the answer. Pair that with unbiased and honest reviews on live stock and equipment, you’ve got me hooked. The only complaint I have is that we only get one podcast a week!

Hey Jeff! I absolutely love your podcast man. I discovered it the other week when I was trying to research more ways to learn about setting up my first saltwater tank. Since listening to that first episode, I have just been absolutely hooked. For anyone who is looking to learn more about this hobby and get expert insight into reefing- this podcast is a MUST! Please keep the episodes coming and know that we appreciate your dedication!!

Hey Jeff and all your other followers out there on the interwebs. Just wanted to say love the show. I’ve been a follower on YouTube for the longest time. Finally getting back into the aquarium hobby after years away and the information and knowledge and experience that you share on your channel and this podcast is great and I appreciate all the work you do for the hobby and your community of listeners. Keep it up Semper Fi!

I started watching your “Mad Hatter’s Reef” videos on YouTube and enjoyed learning from you. I was pleased to find your podcast that I could listen to away from a screen when I was in the car, at work, etc. Really great information for someone like me who has not only been out of the fish keeping hobby for 30+ years, but only kept fresh water cichlids at that. Your videos and podcast have given me the confidence to pursue a marine reef aquarium and I have recently ordered a WaterBox Cube 20 gallon tank and am awaiting its arrival in a few weeks! Looking forward to a long career in the marine reef hobby! Keep up the great work, and I’ll be subscribing to the “Nano” Mystery Reef Box soon!

Been listening to your podcast and watching your YouTube channel for the last 3-4 months now and you have been a huge help. Just started my first reef tank build and you helped me build the confidence I needed to be successful in the hobby. Keep up the great work and stay salty.

Being new to the life of reefing, I can’t seem to get enough. I spend a lot of time in my truck working on main line fiber to the home operations. You give me the opportunity gain knowledge while traveling from one location to another and as I splice. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us newbies.

Mannnn I love the show!! So much information that you share with all your experiences and other guest experience also. Im new to the saltwater world and I always wanted to have a small saltwater tank. I wanted to see what your ideas are for a 5 gallon tank. I got a Fluval 10528A1 Evo V Marine Aquarium Kit, 5 gal. And I want to either challenge you and or get your input on what I should do to get a nice stable tank. I couldn’t find much info on anyone with a 10 gallon or less tank. Any info would help.

I’m a wounded Vet and my psychiatrist advised me to get a fish tank to help with my PTSD. A year ago I went on YouTube and found Jeff’s YouTube channel. I also listen to the podcast and has been nothing but Great content. Thanks for all you do Jeff and Semper Fi!

This podcast has helped me out a lot to get my reef to a great place. I’m always looking to learn something new so I can be sure my animals live the best lives possible and I get them here. Thanks Jeff for all the great content.

Dude keep it up. Nothing like hearing reef talk. ! Especially in these times .

This is an amazingly entertaining and informative podcast. Not only has it helped me as a reefer to add to my skills toolbox, but it’s inspired me to consider putting my own blog/content online to share my own experiences. Thanks again for taking the time to put all this content online for us. You rock!!! -Brian Kurtz: ReefGiants.com

Thanks so much for sharing all of your knowledge and experiences in the reefing world. I have been researching for months and finally pulled the trigger on my first reef tank. Your YouTube channel and recently discovered podcast have been an awesome resource!!

Love the podcast and love the people very informational and yet very entertaining keep up the great work love the podcast

I’m a new reefer, a couple years in, I couldn’t tell ya how much I have learned and still learning from Jeff’s content. He makes it very easy to understand and relatable to the average joe reefer. Got to meet Jeff twice at kor and fragtober fest, a incredible guy to talk with. Thanks brother for all the hard work!

Love this podcast. Had salt fish in the past, going for a reef tank this time! Great knowledge. Thanks for the time you put into this pod cast.

Great podcast! Love the Top 10 and listener questions. So much great information delivered in a very humble “friend to friend” manner. Plus your voice is just the best :)

Great show to learn from, I started with the first episode a few weeks ago and I’m about half way through them all. The only thing I have for my reef tank are 4 books I’ve been reading. I want to start with around 160 gallon tank, but I’m a perfectionist and want to start it out right, which will probably be later this fall once I learn everything I can. So please keep laying down more episodes!

My first time searching for a saltwater podcast this came up, i recognized the voice immediately and soon realized who this goat was. Anyway that was over a year and a half ago and waiting all week for this podcast has become routine. After 2 years of researching my tank is finally cycling. Ive been taking videos of the whole process and hope to make a compilation video and if you could shout me out Jeff that would be wicked awesome! Video should be out before april 2020 check me out! “Shore Reefing” thanks!

I’m starting my salt water aquarium soon (slowly but surely) and I’ve learned so much listening and watching your shows, keep up the good work! I feel like I can’t learn enough getting into this hobby. Thanks again for great content!

By using simple language, straightforward concepts, and clear instruction, this podcast is great for reefing beginners. I appreciate the lack of acronym-filled sentences and the pacing of the program. If you’re a reef keeper of any level, listen to this podcast. 5 stars.

This podcast is full of reliable information for both the novice and advanced saltwater and reef hobbyists. The interviews, top ten lists, and questions of the week are great. Very informative and well put together. I would recommend it to anyone in the hobby. You nailed it Jeff!
