In my research I cam across some podcasts relating to fishtanks, one of which was reefcast and have been listening to all of the episodes non stop and love it. Then I saw that im coming close to the end and that there hasnt been an episode since sept 2009.

Luckily I love melevsreef and have stumbled across reefaddicts. Just joined, posted my tank progress and have downloaded all of the podcasts. I am in the car all day for work and love listening to podcasts on various topics. ...
