Rappin' With ReefBum: Guest Jim Graham, a.k.a Telegraham

Rappin' With ReefBum is a LIVE talk show with host Keith Berkelhamer and guests from the reef keeping community. In this episode I chat with Jim Graham, who is also known as Telegraham.
Jim has been a reef keeping hobbyist for about 11 years. He likes to take equipment apart to study build quality and to better understand how things function. He has operated on a number of products from GHL, Neptune and other manufacturers. The data from his tests have yielded some very unique and un-biased insights.
Jim is retired Air Force, formerly assigned to the KC-135 aerial refueller, the B-2 Stealth Bomber, and the YAL-1A Airborn Laser. Additionally, Jim appreciates kind people and is a fan of technology.

Now I want a shirt just so we can match names :)

[@photographyinflight4183]

Thanks for sharing Keith.

[@J_ellis709]

You guys hit some important topics. Mr. Graham....I busted up when you said "let me put in my teeth f*****"!!!!!

[@michealprater]

I used to battle cyano. Last two tanks have been bare bottom. No cyano ever. Not sure if there is a correlation or not.

[@ozzman31982]

I've found that a tank can either be skewed to grow algaes or slimes. You get some nutrients too low or a trace or something the algae needs , slimes will start to take real estate

[@saf1671]

Mr. Schuhmacher is fun to listen to. Able to balance business and personal preference which is rare. Also helps one learn a different language if you watch his content enough with close caption :D Hope your day is going well. Thanks for the show.

[@MACNTOSFAM]

the cyano came in after carbon dosing right? could be from that. if you want some microbiodiversity, carbon dosing older tanks may help

[@telegraham]

In my case, no. Both instances of cyano arrived while dosing vinegar.

[@MACNTOSFAM]

@@telegraham ah i see

[@Yazannreef]

​@telegraham hi Jim, I will take you up on the maxi Dos proposition. Let me know how I can send you the Dos for you to modify to become a maxi. Thanks a lot

[@bluereef9530]

Cyano could be from your different lights your using from those other years ago.

[@telegraham]

I’m assuming this is directed at Keith.

[@ReefBum]

I don't think it is the lights. I have the same lights on the other display and there is practically no cyano in that tank. The only real difference between the two tanks/systems is the presence of that darn CaribSea Life Rock in the tank with cyano!
