Episode 15: Claude Schuhmacher - Fauna Marin 

This has to be the best pod cast 👏👏👏

As a German I really like Claude’s accent 😅.. more easier to understand like other guests of your podcast 😂 and he is one of the smartest reef guys we have in Germany … so it’s always a pleasure to participate of his knowledge.

This was another great stream sir, I love listening to hard-core professionals. This format give them all the time they need to express their thoughts. All excellent interviews, thx

All ways love listening to Claude. Hope to see him on your show again

Wow Adam and Claude great discussion.! This is the best podcast for the intermediate and advanced hobbyist. I’ll need to listen to this one again…so much info to digest.

Really wonderful hearing Claude. His generosity sharing knowledge needs more volume especially for non EU reefers

Great interview, there's always such good info in these BTR shows.

Great show with the great Claude. Greets from GERMANY. We not only love corals. With live with corals😂.

Watched 4 times to digest, such a valuable information shared, another great interview, thanks.

The information Claude knows is next level. I really hope people dive into this type of stuff, its just fantastic for our hobby.

TOP Interview! Thanks

Nice one Adam and Claude!!!

Great interview. I met Claude a number of years ago in Orlando. I think it might have been one of the first Reefapaloozas. Super nice guy and super passionate. I remember our conversation was about CO2 scrubbing and media that they were coming out with which back then was the first I had heard about it.

I'll get in while the comments are low count. This was really good. I'm glad to see the mindset you are taking Adam and asking the right questions. Comparing traditional methods to new styles/products/technologies and saying hmmmm. I think a big factor that is super rare to hear about and I would appreciate of you get some perspectives on it from your vast sources of knowledgeable people is "disolved organic carbons" or DOC'S. I'm very curious how these relate to carbon dosing in terms of there effects but also how they relate in terms of there makeup. So while we talk about no water changes No one is talking about DOC'S which are building up and even being produced by the organisms in the tank. From what I understand they can only be regulated by water changes, carbon or Ozone. Of course we can slow they're accumulation but eventually they pile up. I believe these also fuel alot of bacterial issues and even cyano etc. Yet people say when they run carbon they get stn rtn. So I don't know

Great Interview Adam!

Waiting for this to show up on the podcast.

Would love it if you could point to more information about Claudes statements about kalk vs balling and how kalk only is inferior. Awesome podcast!

I can see I’m going to need to listen to this one a number of times there’s a lot of interesting discussions. The lighting and coloration of corals is another one in particular. I have been looking at the idea of UV and metal halide lighting having something to do with coloration. But if I understand what Claude is saying it may have more to do with the visible spectrums and not UV.🤔

Man that's a smart dude!!!

Thanks!

would baking the epsom salt in the oven do anything to reduce the organics?

The Englisch spoken Interviews are much more fillled with Informationen than the german😂 tomorow i go coral shopping at FM😊

Can we see some kind of data on sodium bicarb resulting in higher ph than sodium carbonate? That statement doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

The current discussion is interesting, I’m not sure I would agree that at night time there’s no current. Current is based on the Ebben flow of the tides from the moon they reversed direction and there is an app. And sometimes it’s during the day and sometimes that’s at night.. What you might get a reduction of is solar generated changes in current. the heat of the sun can cause changes to the tidal currents.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Adam half of the podcast: 🫥 Lol im here to listen anyways, keep up the good work Adam!
