We now accept tests for Fauna Marin and send them directly to Germany from our Los Angeles facility. This is beneficial to all West Coast states. We send tests out every Tuesday and Thursday.

Great podcast with Rudy. He’s been around for many years and has some beautiful corals. I’ve seen him many times at different coral shows. Very nice & knowledgeable guy

Wowzers, what an awesome guy!!! I met that him and bought a hologram hammer from him at the last Aquashella in Dallas and had no idea he was such an industry pro!!! Perfect example of a guy who does not promote himself online, but is incredibly knowledgeable!!! Thanks for having him on!!!

🎉🎉 hi Rudy!

Hi Adam! This was a great episode thanks :) very different interesting content! Only thing that i didn't fully get was the "green washing" of corals with re-export. Would this be the case if "country x" imports corals legally but also illegally. And then they may export the illegal corals to another country with the Cites of the corals that were originally legally imported? Is this how corals turns up from countries that usually do not export to western countries?

Ok, it’s just become clear to me why my freaking reef crystals has gotten boutique expensive,,, all these guys using it now. I miss my $56 200 gal box of crystals from a few years ago 😢

I'm with you. I'm using Reef Crystals now for 27 years. I actually switched to the REGULAR Instant Ocean. They started putting less Magnesium in Reef Crystals, did you notice? I now have to dose it and I never had to before.
