| So here's you chance folks! Let me know what you thought of | |
| Episode 8 that went up on Tuesday. You can be honest, I've got | |
| really thick skin. I know I went on a little bit of a rant, the | |
| first of many I'm sure lol but that is just me being honest. | |
| It's why I love the podcast so much, I don't have to hold back, | |
| I can say what I feel! | |

| Nobody has replied, so I will!! | |
| I had a hard time sitting through this podcast. Not because it | |
| was bad, but more because you're preaching to the choir over | |
| here and I agree with so much. It was a bit like listening to | |
| myself. | |
| I actually get very frustrated sometimes watching people give | |
| newcomers advice on what they should or shouldn't do when it | |
| comes to a new tank. Get this this, get that, don't buy a kit | |
| it's a waste of money, blahblah. Frankly, I think the BEST | |
| option for a first timer is a good 55 gal kit. I like the | |
| Marineland kits because they come with the Penguin BioWheels and | |
| I personally think the BioWheels work maybe a little better than | |
| the other HOB filters. I use them in my smaller display tanks | |
| and they work great. Although I usually end up dropping a few | |
| ceramic rings in the back reservoir for a little added bio | |
| filtration and then I cram in some quilt batting for mechanical | |
| filtration. I don't know that it works any better than the | |
| filter cartridges, but it appeals to my sense of DIY, so I do | |
| it. | |
| Also .. thought I'd say, hey, don't worry about the | |
| computer/camera/audio/visual issues. THAT is like a new hobby | |
| for you as well. It'll take a little time to learn the ropes | |
| and get the system you want! But keep working on it and you'll | |
| get it figured out just like with the fish hobby! | |
| Can't wait till you and Joey can pull together a good interview | |
| though. I like listening to both you two. | |

| Yeah, John, although you do have some kinks to work out. Yes, | |
| I've got upset once (I'm just being honest with you), but I | |
| understand problems arise, plans change, and stuff happens. And | |
| I probably shouldn't have gotten upset, but I did. I sat back, | |
| relaxed myself, and please trust me...I really do understand | |
| that stuff happens. And if I don't (and I do) or other people | |
| can't understand that, well, that's (my) their problem. | |
| But because I do understand I still listen to your podcasts. | |
| Hey, the way I see it, is you (we) have kinks/problems in our | |
| aquariums with our fish (aquariums crash as well) of course you | |
| are going to have kinks/probs with the podcast/technology. | |
| You are working on it, do your best (which I know you are) and | |
| that's all that matters. | |
| I hope you and anyone else who reads this post gets what I'm | |
| trying to say here. :) | |
| Keep it up!!! Thanks. | |

| I really enjoy the pod casts and other than the audio quality on | |
| the episode with Dustin the sound quality has been great and | |
| improved every episode. My favorite topic covered so far was | |
| the big box stores (I submitted that question :))). My only | |
| comments are the last few episodes are low level entry topics. | |
| I think a big majority of your audience is hard core advanced | |
| level and have been in the hobby for years so I will admit I | |
| don't enjoy those topics as much. | |
| You do great work for the hobby and I look forward to the | |
| podcasts and videos each week. Keep it up and Thanks so much! | |

| John-- | |
| Like others have said, do not worry too much about the technical | |
| aspects because your broadcasts are light years better than the | |
| videos that you did with the whistling blower in your shop. I | |
| still watched all of those videos so these new ones are | |
| fantastic to me and you do not have to shout to be heard over | |
| the blower! The first videos from the studio were such a nice | |
| contrast from the shop videos (so quiet). I like hearing the | |
| Fish Keeping 101 series because I do not know everything and I | |
| usually learn something from your presentation. I would love to | |
| see more videos that focus on specific species of african | |
| cichlids that go into depth about their behavior, appearance, | |
| etc. | |
| Keep up the great work. | |

| Like I said before in another post and I'm keeping it short | |
| here.....people, whether on podcast or on video talk about what | |
| they know, right? :) If you don't know anything or minimal | |
| about Cichlids, then the podcasts and video will greatly help | |
| someone like me. ;D If you are already a hardcore Cichlid | |
| person, well, let's just say that when I watch, listen, and/or | |
| read things on certain subjects/topics I already know, well, I | |
| see those as refresher courses. And the fish hobby, to me, is | |
| like the Star Wars movies ;) .....I can never get enough. ;D | |
