They announced the upcoming checker less than 24 hours ago and I bet everybody is itching to pre-order. It still feels like the best kept secret though because at the time of writing this article, a search for nitrate checker on Hanna's website did not show the cute new lilac family member. In fact, even Hanna's instagram is curiously silent on the subject. I found a link to the much-awaited checker from a different Instagram Hanna has. https://bit.ly/newsJeremy120 Peter - New snorkeling reef at Casino Beach finished, wildlife already appearing. Escambia County's new snorkeling reef at Casino Beach is finally installed and already attracting wildlife. Contractors for the county wrapped up installation Saturday morning on the reef, which is located roughly 600 to 700 feet off the shore, depending on the tide, east of the fishing pier. The project was paid for with a $59,500 grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission grant and is made up of 17 reef modules. https://bit.ly/newsPeter120 Main Topic: Interview with Luc Vogels of Phillips on the Coral Care V2 light.

Over the last 5 years, coral nursery operations have expanded exponentially in PR and the VI. The report outlines that 2,368 corals were outplanted from the coral nurseries to 13 different sites. This includes 1,821 Acropora cervicornis (Staghorn Coral), 467 Acropora palmata (Elkhorn Coral), 35 Dendrogyra cylindrus (Pillar Coral) and 10 Xestospongia muta (Giant Barrel Sponge). In addition to outplanting these facilities are conducting genetic analyses of the farmed species. With only a small number of the total samples taken analyzed, the results from 73 samples, 41 different genotypes are present in the nurseries at La Parguera and Guanica. Genotype diversity is very important as it increases the odds of survival by providing a specimen system more capable of adapting to pest and environmental stressors. https://bit.ly/newsJeremy112 Peter- The Florida Aquarium celebrated Earth Day this year by announcing a history-making accomplishment that could help save the United States' only living coral barrier reef from extinction. For the first time, scientists at the aquarium's Center for Conservation reproduced ridged cactus coral in human care. https://bit.ly/newsPeter112 Tip of the Week: Go back and check pout the happy hour livestream we did with CoralVue (easy to find on FB, Instagram or YouTube). Cheers! Main Topic: Fuzzy sticks are a sight to see for the SPS enthusiasts. These three families go above and beyond to stand and deliver that amazing PE. These are the coral that generally look hairy even if they aren't all that happy. These are some of the best starter SPS we can think of and there is a ton of color variants available to hobbyists. All of the coral we will go over today fall within the family Pocilloporidae, we will be looking at the genera Pocillopora, Stylophora and Seriatopora. There are obviously some similarities between these corals, this week we will go over the information on the species, care and parameters along with some tips to help get the best polyp extension out of your coral.
