As you swim over the silty substrate, flatfish that were perfectly camouflaged in plain sight become visible only when spurred into motion by your passing. Feather Stars move their arms in slow motion, revealing commensal shrimp and squat lobsters hiding amongst the ‘feathers’. Venomous predators like Lionfish, Stonefish and Seagoblins hide in the muck looking for an easy meal. Ambush predators like the Stargazer lie mostly buried in the silt, just their skeletal face showing as they wait for an unlucky fish to swim by. http://vimeo.com/24176960 One of the animals that we have been looking forward to collecting for display at the Steinhart Aquarium during the Expedition is Amphioctopus marginatus, the Coconut Octopus. This is a little octopus, with a maximum 3 inch mantle and 12 inch arm span. It is plentiful in the Philippines, personable, tenacious, and has a habit of using found objects as temporary homes. Clay pots, bottles, tin cans and clam shells are all used as mobile homes for these octopus, complete with doors to close themselves in tightly and safely. They also will defend their homes, batting away anything that comes too close; even pushing a probing finger away with surprising strength. Sometimes they extend their arms and crawl around in the muck with their temporary home on their back, as if they are transforming into snails. All of this behavior should add up to a fantastic exhibit in the Steinhart Aquarium. Two Coconut Octopus have already arrived safely back at the Academy, and we look forward to putting them, and other animals collected on the trip, on display in the near future.

Increasing levels of ocean acidity could spell doom for British Columbia's already beleaguered northern abalone, according to the first study to provide direct experimental evidence that changing sea water chemistry is negatively affecting an endangered species. View the full article

Paleontologists have discovered that a group of remarkable ancient sea creatures existed for much longer and grew to much larger sizes than previously thought, thanks to extraordinarily well-preserved fossils discovered in Morocco. The giant fossilized anomalocaridid measures one meter in length and dates back to the Ordovician period, suggesting these animals existed for 30 million years longer than previously realized.

Editor's Note: Advanced Aquarist will be showcasing younger aquariums of experienced aquarists, with follow-up articles in future issues in order to show the progressions of successful aquariums.My system consists of just over 335 gallons including a 247g SPS dominated display, a 50g chalice frag tank, and a stock 75g sump. I run just about every type of lighting that is offered in this hobby. This includes a Sfiligoi 72" XR6 over my display and an ATI 10 x 39w Powermodule with a 36" ReefBrite LED strip over my chalice frag tank. Calcium / Alkalinity are dosed via a Litermeter III using Bulk Reef Supply's 2-part system. My skimmer is a Royal Exclusiv AlphaCone 300. The sump contains water, a skimmer, a heater, and a powerhead - very clean and simple. While the basis of my system is quite simple, I do really enjoy the technical side of this hobby. I have some equipment that is necessary in this hobby and some that a lot of reefers will consider luxuries. In this article, you will see several examples of both. If there are 100 ways to keep a successful reef ecosystem, I have likely tried 90 of them. And while there is not a perfect method for everyone, there are some fundamental similarities with all of the beautiful systems that we all read about. I'll get to that in a minute. But first, let talk about what got me here... </h2><h2>Oooooh...what is that called? March 29, 1997 - I walked into Fishy Business in Columbia, SC and I was hooked within seconds. Like any newbie to saltwater, I asked a thousand questions and walked away with a thousand more. I ended up buying a 75g tank that belonged to one of the LFS employees about 2 weeks later. The system looked amazing to me. Well established live rock, the old school halide pendants with ballasts that weighed about 50 pounds each, and a simple sump setup. Piece of cake right? Yeah! I probably spent at least 2 hours a day at the LFS for the next 3 months asking every question in the book. The guys in the shop were very patient and they taught me quite a bit about the hobby. However, I learned on the go which, in this hobby, is not always the best way. But I learned many valuable lessons that would come in handy years later. I'm not going to waste any time on that first tank. I moved 8 times in 6 years and you can imagine the toll it took on the tank and its inhabitants. I was out of the hobby for a number of years but came back armed with a lot more knowledge. Undisputed Champion of "Can't leave well enough alone" - not as prestigious as it sounds Fast forward almost 10 years - ten years of reading every reef book, every thread on every website I could find, and visiting every LFS in every town I lived in. I felt like I was better educated in proper reef-keeping techniques. My wife and I walked into Fish World in Richmond, VA and I instantly got the bug again. I had met Joe Genero (owner) years before and loved the store that he and his wife Jan had built over the years. They were the first LFS in the nation to go all saltwater over 20 years ago. Joe helped me design a system that I would love. I had a laundry list of things that I wanted and didn't want. We are lucky to have an unfinished basement in our house. Both the main water line and main house drain are down there and there is tons of space that we really don't use. We went with a 150g Tall AGA and decided to place the sump and equipment in the basement - just below the tank which sits on the main floor. The tank came with a blue vinyl background, a nice stand and canopy, 2 14K 400w halides, a stock 75g sump with a refugium, a UV light, some moonlights, and a Reef Octopus skimmer. I spent the next few months stocking up on corals and fish and everything was doing very well. But my A.D.D. and (non-diagnosed) OCD kicked in and I started tweaking here and there to try and make things even better. I'm not proud of this, but here is a list of changes I made over the next 3 years (bear with me): Added 4 T5's to add some extra pop to the corals Started the Prodibio system - stopped after a few months Took off the blue vinyl background and painted the back of the tank black (on the outside of course) Bought a chiller as the halides were heating up the water Got a calcium reactor - got tired of manual dosing Decided to switch to all T5's as the power bill was getting outrageous - removed canopy for open top Sold the chiller since I didn't need it any longer Bought a bigger skimmer Started dosing vodka / Microbacter 7 Took the refugium out of my sump - was a nitrate factory with the sandbed Got rid of the calcium reactor as I couldn't keep it dialed in - Alk was all over the place Switched to 2-part dosing (Bulk Reef Supply) Stopped dosing vodka / MB7 as my corals were starving Completely changed aquascape...twice...lol. Added frag tank What did you just say? My 150g had been up and running for just over 3 years, SPS was growing very well, fish were getting larger, and the tank was starting to fill in. My wife and I were watching TV one night and she looked over and said "I think we need a bigger tank"! I couldn't believe it. Being the wonderful husband that I am, I immediately called my good friend Andrew and said "I need your help fast - before she changes her mind". I knew the exact tank dimensions I wanted and Andrew had a mockup hand-sketched drawing of the stand within hours...lol. I decided to go with a 247g (72" x 33" x 24") Miracles Rimless - peninsula style tank with ¾" glass - Starphire on 3 sides. When Derek at Miracles told me that it was going to weigh 700lbs empty, I about died. Time to reinforce the floor : ). My goal with this tank build was to design a system that took all of the headaches out of the hobby (or as many as possible). I also wanted a stand that was completely different from anything I had ever seen. I travel 3+ days per week for work so I had to have a system that would be easy to maintain in my absence and easy for my wife to manage while I travel. My LFS (Fish World, Richmond, VA) helped me eliminate many of these headaches. I have 1 pump for the entire system which feeds my display, frag tank, carbon & GFO reactor, and pushes waste water to the house drain for water changes. We installed a 60g fresh water vat for top-off and a 100g vat for saltwater mix up. Water changes take me 5 minutes and I barely have to lift a finger. My LiterMeterIII handles Alkalinity, Calcium, and fresh water top-off. The only equipment in the sump is my skimmer, a heater, and a Tunze to help keep detritus from settling. My old 150g tall was a great tank but I had to use a step ladder to do just about everything. The 24" height of the new tank is great as I can actually reach things in my tank now. My friend Andrew helped me design and build a one-of-a-kind stand to hold the new tank. Okay, so he pretty much built the whole thing. I was just there to lend a hand : ). The bones of the stand are fairly standard (4x4's, cross braces, etc. - it could hold 10 tons I'm sure). We finished the outside of the stand with "Tahitian Pebbles" and a few access panels for storage and maintenance. It turned out even better than I ever imagined and I couldn't have done any of it without Andrew (thanks again my friend). It is truly one of a kind and I love it! How do I pick a light for this thing? I used T5's exclusively for 2 years over my 150g and had excellent results. For the new display, I did a LOT of research! I spoke with just about every lighting manufacturer you can imagine. I ran a Sfiligoi Stealth 12x54w T5 fixture over my 150g and loved the build quality, active cooling, and reflector quality. I have gotten to know Tim Lasiter (NA Distributor for Sfiligoi - Aquatics Elite) well as I bought my original Stealth fixture from him. I discussed my needs with Tim and he was able to get a package together that met every need. I decided to go with a 72" Sfiligoi XR6 (3x250w 20K's with 8 x39w T5's). The fixture itself is a work of art. It is as pleasing to the eye as it is effective for my tank's inhabitants. I really wanted to be able to dim the halides and T5's. Sfiligoi had a great solution for that as well. I have 3 ACLS ballasts (1 Master and 2 Slaves) which allow me to control each halide independently. The functionality of these ballasts is incredible! I can dim each halide, simulate east / west sun patterns, program cloudy days, and it has a "new bulb function" that ramps up new halide bulbs slowly as to not shock the corals (just to name a few of the many amazing features). The T5's are hooked up to my Apex controller which allows me to dim each bank of bulbs as well. I didn't realize just how much I missed the "shimmer" until I started running halides again. The fixture is well vented without fans so I don't have to run a chiller again - which is fine with me. The corals have never been happier. Time for the switch... The 700lb tank took 12 men to get into the house. My wife left town as she was too nervous to watch...lol. The stand was completed a week before the tank arrived so all we had to do was get the tank on the stand and hang the light. Many hobbyists would take the next few weeks / months to get the new tank up and running. I have never been much good at going to bed with a project looming over me, so I stayed up for 3 straight days and nights once the tank arrived. At the end of the 3 days the light was up, the tank was full of salt water, and both the 150g and the 247g were all running online together. I ran both tanks together for 7 days to allow the existing water to circulate through the new tank. I used brand new sand (seeded with existing sand from my 150g), used all rock from my old tank (plus some new live rock), and got the corals transferred over the next week and a half. My SPS did surprisingly well in the move. I was able to keep the same 75g sump in the basement. The only real change I made in the "fish room" was a larger skimmer. I upgraded from the Royal Exclusiv Alpha Cone 250 to the 300. It's more than enough skimmer for my system. I put a LOT of time, thought, and effort into this new system. Needless to say, I spent just as much time thinking about proper rock and coral placement. The new tank is SPS dominated with a few LPS thrown into the mix as well. I had an idea of how I wanted my aquascape to look - minimalist, with plenty of open room (negative space) for the fish to swim and (most importantly) for the corals to grow. One of the biggest mistakes I see new reefers make when stocking a tank is putting too much in the tank without giving any thought as to what it may look like in a year or two (this includes both rock and coral). Like other successful hobbyists, I now research all new coral purchases to see where to put the specimen in the tank. The aquascape is pleasing to my eye and the fish swim in and out of the "islands" just as they would naturally on the reef. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - can be a positive in this hobby ; ) While I have never been clinically diagnosed, anyone who knows me well will tell you that I have a problem! I have zero patience for nuisance algae, coralline algae on the glass / powerheads, aptasia, or anything else in my tank that is not supposed to be there. I spend a LOT of time observing my corals. I allow my corals to tell me when something isn't right with my tank. If I observe my corals lightening or if there is a small diatom bloom, I am able to catch it early, diagnose the issue, and respond accordingly. It took me YEARS to get to that point. I used to test my water every day. Since I've gotten better at identifying small issues, my daily testing regimen has decreased to once per month. Other than water testing, here is my basic maintenance schedule: Daily Check plumbing connections (takes 2 seconds) Syphon any detritus from frag tank Observe each and every coral, fish, and frag in my system Clean glass of display, frag tank, and sump Weekly Clean powerheads with vinegar bath Clean overflow "teeth" Check all bulbs to ensure everything is "firing" properly Monthly 10% water change Clean entire skimmer / skimmer pumps Clean powerhead in sump Completely clean out frag tank (razor blades, toothbrushes, whatever it takes) Inspect bulkheads Clean overflow and return plumbing (Loc-line, PVC) Every 6 months Replace bulbs as needed Clean main system pump Tank parameters pH 8.1 - 8.3 (pH probe monitored with Apex - I recalibrate my pH probe monthly) Calcium 475ppm (Salifert) Alkalinity 8.0 dKH (Salifert) Magnesium 1450ppm (Salifert / Elos) Salinity 1.025 (Milwaukee Refractometer) Nitrates 0.5ppm (Salifert) Phosphates Undetectable (Salifert) </h2><h2>Tank Equipment Display Tank - Miracles Rimless ¾" 3-side Starphire glass Peninsula style tank (72"x33"x24") Display lighting - 72" Sfiligoi XR6 (3x250w 20K SE Radiums & 8x39w T5's Actinic) Display tank powerheads - 2 Vortech MP60ES (wirelessly controlled through Apex WXM Module) Frag Tank - GlassCages 3-side Starphire glass tank (40"x30"x9") Frag Tank lighting - ATI 10x39w Powermodule & 1x36" ReefBrite LED strip Frag Tank powerhead - 1 Vortech MP40 (Gen 2) Main circulation pump - Reeflo Hammerhead Sump - 75g AGA tank Sump powerhead - Tunze 6201 Skimmer - Royal Exclusiv Alpha Cone 300 (with Avast Marine Swabbie) Controller - Neptune Systems Aquacontroller Apex (2 DC8's, WXM, VMD, pH / temp probe) RO/DI Unit - Bulk Reef Supply 300gpd TDS Spartan Dosing - LiterMeterIII - Handles Alk, Ca, and Top-off Remote Monitoring - Canon VB Webcam (in basement to monitor guts of system) Mineral Supplements Calcium / Alkalinity - Bulk Reef Supply 2 part (Recipe 1) Magnesium - Kent Tech-M (Manually dosed once per week) Carbon - Bulk Reef Supply Rox (changed every 2 weeks) PO4 Remover - Rowaphos (changed every 2-3 weeks) Iodine - Lugol's (3 drops per day) Zeovit Coral Snow - As needed for cyano blooms Salt - Tropic Marin BioActif Lighting Schedule (Display) 10AM - 12PM: All T5's - 2 hour sunrise - 0%-80% (off 15 minutes after halides come on) 11:45AM-7:45PM: Halides ramp up from 0-100%, full power for 5 hours, and ramp down from 100%-0% 7:30PM - 10:30PM: All T5's - 3 hour sunset - 80%-0% Lighting Schedule (Frag Tank) - Reverse schedule [*]9:00PM - 10:00: ReefBrite LED's[*]10:00PM - 11:00PM: 4 T5's (Super Actinics / Blue +'s)[*]11:00PM - 4:00AM: All 10 T5's on[*]4:00AM - 5:00AM: 4 T5's (Super Actinics / Blue+'s) </h2><h2>Livestock Fish [*]Tongan Sailfin Tang[*]Yellow Tang (2)[*]Yellow Coris Wrasse (2)[*]Sixline Wrasse[*]Flaming Hawkfish[*]Block Anthias (2 -Mated pair)[*]Chocolate Tang[*]Majestic Angelfish[*]Black Tang[*]Kole Tang[*]Hybrid Powder Blue Tang[*]Mimic Tang (Indian Ocean) SPS [*]Tri-Color Prostrata[*]TCN Royal Blue Tenuis[*]ATL Forest Fire Acropora[*]Skittles Granulosa[*]Bubblegum Millie [*]Blue Hokei[*]Darth Maul Porites[*]Tyree Pink Lemonade[*]Tyree Meteor Show Cyphastrea[*]ORA Chips[*]ORA Hawkins Echinata[*]ORA Red Planet [*]ORA Borealis[*]Tyree Setosa[*]Tyree Superman Montipora[*]Tyree Sunset Montipora[*]Tyree Season's Greetings Monitopora [*]Bali Tri-color Acro[*]Garf Bonsai[*]Blue Tort[*]Acropora Millepora (10+ mini colonies)[*]ATL Ultimate Stag [*]Ultra Blue Tenuis[*]Grape Ape Montipora[*]Oregon Tort[*]Vivid Efflo[*]Steve Elias Stag[*]$500 Efflo LPS [*]Cynaria[*]Scolymia (6)[*]Tyree War Coral[*]Bumblebee Favia[*]Tyree Baby's Breath Favia[*]Cosmic Swirl Favia[*]Vivid Prism Favia[*]Chalices (80+) - All in frag tank - WAY too many to name!

A BIG thanks to Andrew Harrow - this tank would never be up and running without your help! Thanks to my extended family and friends at www.Reef2Reef.com (where I'm proud to spend a LOT of my time). Sonny Harajly (SunnyX @ www.ProCorals.com) and Derek (Miracles in Glass) both helped a great deal with my tank decision. And thanks to Joe and Jan Genero (Fish World - Richmond, VA). If you're ever in Richmond please stop by and have a look at their shop. They are both a wealth of knowledge in this crazy hobby of ours. I'm very fortunate to have a LFS of that caliber in my neighborhood. That's it! I'm excited to see the reef grow in over the next few years. I'm confident there will be some changes...lol! And I certainly hope that my tank can live up to some of the other featured tanks I've read about here.

None of the sharks in the display laid eggs - they all gave birth to live offspring. Upon closer examination, however, the staff confirmed the eggs were real and that they were laid by a carpet shark. A carpet shark? There was no record of a carpet shark being added to the aquarium. Where did that come from? The aquarium speculates a prior curator may have added the carpet shark to the aquarium and simply didn't document it, adding: "The ocean tank is a massive half-a-million litre display with numerous dark nooks and crannies amongst the theming, and it is just feasible that a small shark could have stayed hidden." said senior aquarist Mr Sutcliffe. Aquarium personnel are asking the public's help in locating the elusive carpet shark. They hope to eventually capture and move her to her own aquarium. The long term goal would be to partner her with a male in hopes of eventually producing offspring. (via BBC) View the full article

A study of tissue samples from 161 marine mammals that died between 2004 and 2009 in the Pacific Northwest reveals an association between severe illness and co-infection with two kinds of parasites normally found in land animals. One, Sarcocystis neurona, is a newcomer to the northwest coastal region of North America and is not known to infect people, while the other, Toxoplasma gondii, has been established there for some time and caused a large outbreak of disease in people in 1995.

Risk of developing heart failure may be lower for postmenopausal women who frequently eat baked or broiled fish, but higher for those who eat more fried fish, according to researchers. In a recent study, dark fish such as salmon was healthier for the heart than tuna or white fish such as sole. Eating fried fish one or more times per week was associated with a 48 percent higher risk of heart failure in postmenopausal women compared to those who ate it infrequently. View the full article

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems: Light-dependent coral communities and their associated populations of algae, sponges and other invertebrates, and fishes, that occur in the deepest half of the photic zone (starting at 30-40 m and extending to over 150 m) in tropical and subtropical regions. This zone of diminished light is also referred to as the "twilight zone". We all picture coral reefs as sunbathed oasis, but reefs can actually extend (and thrive) down to great depths where sunlight barely penetrates. In extreme environments, life adapts in unbelievable ways. It is therefore no surprise to find some of the most exotic habitats and organisms on the planet in these rarely-explored deep sea reefs. International researchers led by James Cook University deployed an "autonomous underwater vehicle" (in other words, a robotic submarine) to explore the Mesophotic Zone of the Great Barrier Reef. The AUV examined three continental shelf sites off Cairns, Townsville and Mackay, documenting many potentially new species, including a multitude of sponges and corals. The AUV captured a series of stereo images which will be stitched together to create a 3D map of the sea floor. The AUV also collected valuable data on environmental data including "multibeam swath bathymetry, conductivity-temperature-depth, turbidity and chlorophyll." Later this year, another remote-operated submarine is set to explore and film (in high definition) the Great Barrier Reef, diving as deep as 650 meters (2,100 feet). And the greatest part? The video will be part of a documentary that should air on BBC and Discovery. source: www.couriermail.com.au and Science Alert View the full article
