JP's Standard Issue Tank thread

[animalmaster6]

I think Sunny has another tank though.

[bitts]

there's this one but I think he took it down.

[animalmaster6]

That's it. It looks just like the Reef in the Sky.

[bitts]

[animalmaster6]

Same exact look, different scape

[bitts]

yeah I'm really hoping to be able to pull off some ting like it with the 75. still thinking about setup though.

[animalmaster6]

Yeah that's hard to do.

[bitts]

espeacily since I'm only planning to do like maybe 4 or 5 corals. even that will take a while.

[animalmaster6]

Know the corals yet? You won't be able to resist adding more corals

[bitts]

red plant.

super man.

a yellow acro

blue milli

monty of some kind if I can figure out how to get the growth I want, just one flat layer is... I just don't like it.

[bitts]

old list of posablitys.

 

ora sps's

blue torouosa

blue millepora

miami orchid

pearlberry

phil's acropora granulosa

plum crazy

red planet

brett's purple rim monti

blue tort

[animalmaster6]

That's a nice list.

[seabass]

more bonsai from the reef in the sky

Makes me want to do a little more with my scape.

this is completly off topic just dont want to forget about it

Hermatypic-zooxanthellate corals track the diel patterns of the main environmental parameters - temperature, UV and visible light - by acclimation processes that include biochemical responses. The diel course of solar radiation is followed by photosynthesis rates and thereby elicits simultaneous changes in tissue oxygen tension due to the shift in photosynthesis/respiration balance. The recurrent patterns of sunlight are reflected in fluorescence yields, photosynthetic pigment content and activity of the two protective enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), enzymes that are among the universal defenses against free radical damage in living tissue. All of these were investigated in three scleractinian corals: Favia favus, Plerogyra sinuosa and Goniopora lobata. The activity of SOD and CAT in the animal host followed the course of solar radiation, increased with the rates of photosynthetic oxygen production and was correlated with a decrease in the maximum quantum yield of photochemistry in Photosystem II (PSII) (F'/Fm'). SOD and CAT activity in the symbiotic algae also exhibited a light intensity correlated pattern, albeit a less pronounced one. The observed rise of the free-radical-scavenger enzymes, with a time scale of minutes to several hours, is an important protective mechanism for the existence and remarkable success of the unique cnidarian-dinoflagellate associations, in which photosynthetic oxygen production takes place within animal cells. This represents a facet of the precarious act of balancing the photosynthetic production of oxygen by the algal symbionts with their destructive action on all living cells, especially those of the animal host.

Key words: SOD, catalase, Photosystem II, zooxanthellae, photosynthesis, Favia favus, Plerogyra sinuosa, Goniopora lobata

What LED fixture is your favorite?

[Deleted User 6]

 

wut?

[bitts]

as to leds not sure seen some aqua medics that I really liked but theres that one from china on rb all the time that i like to.

 

ok D no more halloween fun.

[animalmaster6]

Those look sweet.

[bitts]

yeah jake said the one was to bright. lol

[animalmaster6]

ok so I'm board & cant sleep thinkin that there was same stuff to chatch up on wit the sand bed thread had been asked about the dif between acryaltes & silicate sand. so I'm finding some stuff about acrylates

so far it seems to be more a way to reinforce porous rock than anything else.

[bitts]

well not doing much with the tank lately, just trying to let the sand bed come back. moving the tank really took a toll on it. killing off a majority of the fauna. nut things are slowly returning to normal. with the filtration a little bit limited, I'm still fighting of the last bit of cyano. had to drop one of the light cycles, but should go away in the near future. in the mean time its helping to make up for the sand bed. I'll try to get a pic of the 75 & stand up, some time soon.

[animalmaster6]

If that happened to me I would start to completely reseed the tank with many different species of microfauna.
