Really cool video featuring a friendly face

[Rostato]

I didn’t know he was breeding octopus.

 

[Coral reefer]

I think he has been for awhile.

I want to say one of his big draws was his experience with cephalopods which brought him to the Steinhart, but I may be off on that timeline. Guy has always been wicked smart when it comes to do his methodology for how he does things in the hobby, and lets be honest you can have all the PhDs in the world about how stuff works in the wild that does not necessarily translate to display tanks for public viewing, so yeah he was the right guy for the job there.

Such a great video and overview! Now I can get help explaining to friends and family : ) Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, how did I miss this before, great video. Any idea when it was shot. Would love to hear from Rich on how the vinegar dosing and his Phosphate lowering experiment is going. @Thales are you out there? Been missing the skimmate podcasts too.

I always felt such a shame we lost Rich I see him active on oyher forums..

Maybe he will do the holliday potluck via zoom for us! We may have to send him a bunch of food though...

Thanks for sharing that Chris, fun to watch.

The swanky background lounge music was a nice production touch. Rich keepin‘ it real with the ripped jeans crotch shot

There is a second cool (kinda related) video on Tested's youtube channel. Adam Savage created a puzzle for feeding the octo. Ahh i think i found it:

I would not really say we "lost" him.
He comes and goes depending on topics, and usually does a great December potluck talk.
Probably not this year though with Covid.

Glad that is the case I just see him more active on R2R..

Well R2R has a bigger reach, BAReefers is a local community. But he was a member of BARE and a founding member of BAR and he and I came up with DBTC so his presence is still felt here!

Thanks for sharing the video. I hadn't seen it. Yes, it would be good to have him Zoom w/ us at eoy. ...and see how his dosing experiment is going.

I follow rich whenever I can and enjoy his podcasts thu its been a while since I did..

Being so new to the area and hobby, I really enjoyed his talk back in December. After that I started listening to the podcast and would love to see it come back but obviously understand the circumstances. I’ll have to watch the video when I’ve got the time to dedicate my attention.

And of course let's not forget his famous photo ... which I actually found on this "Worst parenting photos" article! LOL

See if you can recognize him, I'm sure you can....

There can be few better examples of how not to raise children than these.
