Every new species of marine fish that's bred for the first time ups the species tally by one: one more proof of concept, one more accomplishment in the world of marine ornamental aquaculture, one more step into uncharted territory, even if the path is somewhat familiar. Captive-bred Seal's Cardinalfish being prepared for export from Palau. From Biota: The Seal's Cardinalfish is a hardy and beautiful shoaling species of cardinalfish. These do extremely well in reef tanks and peaceful community tanks. When they reach adulthood, the Seal's Cardinalfish have beautiful blue eyes and a yellowish hue with defined horizontal lines. Biota's specimens are currently feeding on Reef Nutrition's TDO C1, Piscene Energetics Mysis pellets, and Hikari mysis shrimp. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy100 Peter- One of the largest reef systems on Earth, it teems with wildlife like friendly wild dolphins, and attracts more than a million tourists a year. But underneath the water's stunning surface lurks a deadly disease, silently ravaging the corals which keep its denizens alive and protect the islands' pristine coastline from storms and erosion. Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has been dubbed the biggest threat facing the tiny British territory's marine environment, and the most virulent coral sickness the world has ever seen. http://bit.ly/newsPeter100 Main Topic: Clean-up Crew How to: Choose a select few The clean-up crew are animals that keep busy in your tank removing non-living organic matter, sifting and aerating the sandbed, and keeping algae under control. Your clean-up crew will consist of a variety of animals each with their own function, working away in your tank.

I had heard about this before but never seen footage of what they are doing down in Florida. Becoming part of a living reef after passing is a pretty epic idea, and the location that is featured is creating their own version of Atlantis. The Neptune Memorial Reef is a manmade structure that combines ashes of the deceased with cement that are placed into this underwater city. The reef is open to the public, allowing loved ones to visit this amazing eternal resting place. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy96 Peter- A 'Strange' New England Coral May Hold Secrets To Combating Climate Change. When we think about animals that inhabit the cold New England ocean, sharks, seals, or lobsters may spring to mind. But there's another critter lurking in the deep off our coast, and it's one that may hold valuable secrets that could help its tropical cousins. http://bit.ly/newsPeter96 Main Topic: No matter if you are planning your first system, upgrading to a new or larger or a long-time seasoned veteran, it's ALWAYS a good time to consider adding a controller and this first episode about controllers we talk about the industry standard APEX by Neptune systems.

Normally, surface temperatures in that part of the Pacific hover around 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), but they're 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), according to James Renwick, a scientist at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. "It's the biggest patch of above-average warming on the planet right now," Renwick told The Guardian. In satellite images, this 386,000-square-mile (1,000,000-square-kilometer) patch looks like a menacing red blob. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy95 Peter- The Pacific nation of Palau has become the first country to ban sun cream that is harmful to corals and sea life. From Wednesday, sun cream that includes common ingredients, including oxybenzone, is not allowed to be worn or sold in the country. Palau's President Tommy Remengesau said: "We have to live and respect the environment because the environment is the nest of life." The island nation markets itself as a "pristine paradise" for divers. A lagoon in Palau's Rock Islands is a Unesco World Heritage site. The country has a population of around 20,000 dotted across hundreds of islands. http://bit.ly/newsPeter95 Tip of the Week Get prepared and make a resolution to your tank. Maintenance schedule, get rid of expired equipment, add equipment ect. Main Topic: Aquascaping is a pretty broad term that is more developed in the Freshwater planted tank world than in the Reef tank. Reefscaping has really jumped into the forefront of tank design in the last decade. The advances in biomedia and knowledge of the amount of surface area required to support our tanks has made some major leaps in the past few years and have been game changers. Today we are going to discuss some design ideas, types of rock, styles, tools, methods of securing and other tips and things to keep in mind when planning out your system or making changes.
