About We The Reefers

We The Reefers is a podcast that operates above the influence of money and power structures within the reefkeeping hobby. Its creator (me - KalamazooReefer) accepts no sponsorships, no brand ambassador offers, no free gear, no preferred treatment by any business, and does not own or operate a fish/reef/dry goods store - and refuses to do so in perpetuity. All reefkeepers who desire free and open discourse about our hobby are always welcome listeners. Visit my channel (KalamazooReefer) on YouTube, for more content!
