| Fuzzy Sticks ![]() | Front Page News!! Welcome to the Front Page News! A paper on news that relates to us! I felt the need to make everyone aware of one members amazing accomplishment. PaulB's 38 year old aquarium! Please go and read his thread and congratulate him on one incredible accomplishment! Congratulations Paul! Tank turned 38 this year This weeks topic will be on an eight day undersea mission to improve coral reef restoration! ![]() Excerpt: ScienceDaily (Jun. 13, 2008) — Scientists have begun an eight-day mission, in which they are living and working at 60 feet below the sea surface, to determine why some species of coral colonies survive transplanting after a disturbance, such as a storm, while other colonies die. Coral reefs worldwide are suffering from the combined effects of hurricanes, global warming, and increased boat traffic and pollution. As a result, their restoration has become a priority among those who are concerned. Using as a home base the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Aquarius--an underwater facility for science and diving located in Key Largo, Florida--a team of "aquanauts" is working to protect coral reefs from this barrage of threats by investigating ways to improve their restoration. "It's like living on the space station, except that it's underwater," said Iliana Baums, an assistant professor of biology at Penn State and a collaborator on the project. "The job is dangerous because, once the aquanauts descend, their tissues become saturated with nitrogen. If they were to return to the surface quickly, they would get the bends--an often deadly illness in which tiny bubbles form inside the body. As a result, the divers at the end of their mission must spend an entire day depressurizing by making their way to the surface slowly... The following link will provide you with the remainder of this article. Eight-day Undersea Mission Begins Experiment To Improve Coral Reef Restoration I look forward to reading your comments and questions! *Any members that have something they would like to submit for "Front Page News" please feel free to send it to me or another moderator for summiting.* Please keep an open mind. If there is non reef related news that is important to you or our community, like a child being born, weddings or other important stuff, we see that as Front Page News! Have a great week everyone!

| Reef Lobster | Re: Front Page News!! I'm glad someone is doing something for the world! First thing I thought when I read the story then looked at the picture, I wonder if the shock waves from that diver banging on the frag plug has something to do with them dieing. Ever put your hand on a 2x4 and hit the board with a hammer? It don't feel pretty! I wonder how the coral feels about it, they are an animal after all, but then again, the diver has the hammer. I'll add this to my "What were ya thinkin!!!" list. |

__________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!! Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%. Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

| Fuzzy Sticks ![]() | Re: Front Page News!! Same here dfuree! Maybe you can still achieve something like that? I believe anything is possible if you set your mind to it. ![]() Thought i would give this a bump! I have good stuff coming up for next week also. If anyone would like to submit to thread please let me know before Sundays. I think what amazes me the most is the light penetration at 60 ft below!
