Good chat, enjoyed that

[@Coral_apnea]

Perfect to start the drive to Chattanooga!

[@amoore311]

Hobbyists minds would truly be blown if Mobius actually worked consistently. Hopefully that’s where the “road map” is leading.

[@ReefV2]

To be honest dude is full of it. Aperture about making money. They don't give a shit about the hobby.

[@dannymcelroy]

This show is awesome, really enjoyed this convo!!!

Can Salem explain or make an episode on the macro algae thing, where he talk about organic and inorganic and how they're making your water dirtier. just to dumb it down or simplify it for a casual hobbyist to understand.

[@kayakcarol]

That was great, I wish it had gone longer! Maintaining Jake's corals is a daunting prospect, he was kind of a super human and on top of that they were his very own babies. Remy, I'm sure you don't want to move (family, radio) but Salem, whats taking you so long to move?

[@stoneprone8629]

What’s in your water? 🤔 How do I get in contact with Salem for an ICP test consultation if I wanted to do that? So glad to see this episode drop today, been eagerly awaiting a new EP! Thanks Remy, we know you’re a busy guy!

[@gcarroll1969]

Great job on the interview guys! I really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait to hear more! Keep it up!

I love Ecotech pumps and wave makers - even if they’re EXPENSIVE. I don’t have a problem with Patrick and gang selling to Aperture. It’s business, and they have a right to do so. Same with BRS. Do I think Aperture has the same priorities as Patrick and Ryan? Definitely not. I do think though that he needed to be called out when he talked about competition being good, and BRS having a wide range of products - right after BRS axed the Aperture competitor products from the website 🤔

[@BakersReef]

I agree and why do the radions not keep time literally people all over are having issues including polo reef and what are they doing to fix it ? Why is it my gen 4 s on a wxm have never had one issue yet everyone on mobius has issues

[@hurrensreef4228]

When will my Versa be WiFi enabled? Or upgradable to WiFi? If ever.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Never, as long as Aperture is calling the shots. It will stay Bluetooth only. Best you can hope for is that they integrate it into the Neptune MXM module (if they haven’t done this yet, I wouldn’t hold my breath), so they can double dip in your wallet. EcoTech had planned to move toward WiFi and decentralized product remote control, but Aperture squashed those efforts swiftly. These companies were stronger, more innovative, and more dynamic as individual entities. Very apparent.

Woah woah woah there. This is 2024, There's nothing wrong with a "Man" getting a pedicure or manicure or anything else really... 🎤 drop

[@stoneprone8629]

My local fish stores didn’t even know what a PAR meter was! I asked to speak to the saltwater specialist, and they go “I am the saltwater specialist.” So HOW do you not know what a PAR meter is? Im only 6 months in the hobby and im aware of them at least…..

[@reyrox3274]

Patrick is cool

[@MikeyColon]

To be fair - the Aperture acquisitions have been bad for the hobby. Look at the rising prices (yes even before inflation). Also look at what's happening to BRS.

[@TaliX10]

What's happened to BRS?

[@revo1336]

Noticing products discontinued

[@amoore311]

@@TaliX10the content is trash. Ryan left, Randy Left. They’re muscling out LFS. They’re sucking up every manufacturer they can with exclusive distribution rights. Which allows them to raise prices….which they have don’t nothing BUT raise prices since the acquisition.

[@danhenick7028]

Gen 6 are amazing light the colors are next level

[@Tanky141]

Are you guy freaking on drugs saying hello reef is is a good for people to get in the hobby. Considering the price.. $500 for a small clownfish beginner tank. What a scam joke and disservice for the newbie. A beginner should just go to petco and spend $40 for a 40 gal breeder glass box to begin their journey. You don’t need skimmers or any fancy equipment for these size tanks as weekly consistent water chances is you need. This guy explains uncomfortably as it seems that he has trouble believing his own logic.

[@ReefTherapy]

Hi, "This Guy" here...(not on drugs btw) Agree to disagree on this one. To be fair, there is no "fancy equipment" with this kit. There isn't a skimmer either. You also have to take into consideration that these are geared toward a true beginner, not someone like you who is intermediate/advanced and can piece together something that functions correctly. You should also be doing weekly water changes on a 40 breeder. I don't care if people buy the gear or not..to me, having all the tutorial videos laid out in one package is key. Yes, you can head out to KZbin and get all the info you need...but remember, this is a TRUE beginner kit and finding simple information from start to finish can be difficult. I appreciate your opinions and most importantly, thank you for listening and engaging! ~Remy

[@kyleyurechko9629]

Eco tech products are so overpriced. Will never buy that stuff. It sucks Reefbuilders had this guy on.

[@ReefTherapy]

No worries, I never expect everyone to be on board with the guests. Butttttt since you commented, now you have to tell us who you’d like to see us interview! What kind of guest would Kyle vibe with? -Remy

[@landonhersch5377]

@@ReefTherapy the best spin to a rough comment. Nice job Remy!

[@kyleyurechko9629]

You and Salem are great
