holy smoke on the post count people, up +160 in one hour dang/ please allow me to shark in my youtube video again of the worlds smallest and longest lived coral reef aquarium. apparently this thread may do wonders for my view counts and it will be another area we can tear a new one into! It is valid here because those in the reef tank circles made similar jests about my posts in 2000: "Hey guys, is it possible to keep a full coral reef inside a glass vase?"
Only now they have to come to me for advice when their tanks crash or have constant problems he he
corals from around the globe do not normally chemically intermix well in confined spaces, so this experiment and it's long term success may help one day in preserving reefs that are el-ninoed or anything else where a preserved chuck could be used to reseed the area in later times. To me this is legit science and is associated with diving in many ways...These are not ripped from nature, I am a biology lover I would not tear up a reef...many think you can't own a reef tank without having damaged nature and this is no longer the case, all this is reproducible and natural and is traded among fish tank owners. These are maricultured, and this is a master ecosystem that has more planning than you could imagine. sheck her out belo
The only saltwater aquarium that does not evaporate water at any time, ever, and never needs topoff:

How many live animals can you keep in a flower vase for three years-demonstrating sensitization in cnidarian organisms:

it would be neat if cross linking here, to professionals who enjoy corals in nature, would drive up my tube vid counts beyond 10,000 and start a side discussion of divers who also like marine tanks. I'll never forget the first time I dived-- our master in the Caymans said to never touch corals, because it will slowly start to kill them and they'll recede permanently ruining 100's of years of growth. Nothing could be farther from the truth, I always wondered if they felt the need to say that to scare people into not damaging the reef. This is not a big deal, it just made me wonder what else he said as gospel that wasn't really accurate and I also think it reflects the changing understanding of the reef as a very quick progression for the public in general, even land locked ones.
