Reef Builder Alternative

Asagi · Apr 28, 2024

Anyone have any alternatives to reef builders, namely reef therapy? Any good reef podcasts? I already listen to reef bum. Hoping for something from a contributor with 20+ year experience.

Im not one for podcasts but a guy named Brock Lennord does an “all about” channel. He does individual episodes that are about a certain fish, invert or coral. Not sure if this is what youre looking for but I watch a lot when Im looking into a fish or invert and looking for info

Reef Beef is good but they are not for everyone’s taste I’m sure.

Just looking for something to listen to while doing maintenance. Reef therapy was my go to, but all the new content is lacking.

Agreed about Reef Therapy's decline; I like Remy OK, but he's definitely brought the hyper-produced radio show vibe to the show, which IMO makes it unlistenable.
Reef beef is fun, but it feels like 20% of the podcast is their ad reads; plus, they can be fairly adult in humor, which isn't usually my cup of tea. Love the stuff that Rich does, but I just follow him on other things to keep up.
I have heard good things about Reefbum, but I haven't listened yet. Reef Recap w/ Salem can be fun too, though it's pretty hit or miss.

Kalamazoo Reefer has good content. He's on youtube and all the other platforms.

Yea I can’t get into Remy. He just doesn’t seem to have any experience. Same with Raj. Not sure he has ever owned a reef tank. I’ve revisited a number of old reef therapy episodes a number of times, but I need something new. You might like the rappin with reefbum segments when he has different guest on. He really lets the guests talk which I appreciate. A number of good guests. Check out this one with Tony Vargus.
