This week on the Reef News Network we will be live at Keep on Reefing! Psych, we were live but unfortunately due to some audio quality issue and technical problems we were unable to use the live audio and had to rerecord the episode last minute. So instead of live audio we recap KOR, talk some news and then get into Big Sumpin! We will chat about the benefits of a sump, types of sumps, materials for sumps, refugium's and much, much more. This was our first user requested topic and will apologize up front, due to the scramble to get this re-recorded, our minds were a little all over the place.
