The discovery that sea urchins use Nickel particles to harness carbon dioxide from the sea could be the key to capturing tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Experts at Newcastle University, UK, have discovered that in the presence of a Nickel catalyst, CO2 can be converted rapidly and cheaply into the harmless, solid mineral, calcium carbonate. by Leonard Ho | Feb 5, 2013 | Advanced Aquarist
We shared a video of Sever Lukasiewicz's incredible Polish reef aquarium last week, but unfortunately it was a lower resolution video and we couldn't find much information about his system. Well, not this week! Sever provides us more details and a new HD video of his reef aquarium, which includes photos of its progression. After seeing how much his aquarium transformed in two years, we're left even more breathless. by Advanced Aquarist | Feb 4, 2013 | Advanced Aquarist, Corals, Invertebrates
Coral reefs are predicted to decline under the pressure of global warming. However, a number of coral species can survive at seawater temperatures even higher than predicted for the tropics during the next century. How they survive, while most species cannot, is being investigated by researchers at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) and New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). by Leonard Ho | Feb 4, 2013 | Advanced Aquarist
Before Living Color became the Fish Tank Kings, they were frequent contributors to Advanced Aquarist sharing details about their professional public installations. They haven't forgotten their roots and sent us information and photos of one of their latest project: Multiple installations at the Dalton Discovery Center at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. And for those interested about FTK, the second season is tentatively scheduled to return this May on NatGeo Wild. The cast and crew promise a bigger, better sophomore season in response to what they learned in their first year on TV.
