  • Back to Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 Annual)
    Back To Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 annual) The reef hobby, that part of the aquarium hobby that has arguably experienced the most change, is ironically also an example of the axiom that the more things change the more they remain the same. During the past 10 years we have seen almost constant change in reefkeeping practices, and, in many instances, complete reversal of opinions as to which techniques or practices are the best. We have gone from not feeding our corals directly to feeding them, from using some type of substrate to none at all and then back again, and, finally, we have run the full gamut from using a lot of technology to little or none. It is this last change, commonly referred to as the "back to nature" or natural approach, that many hobbyists are now choosing to follow. Advocates of natural methodologies have been around since the 1960s, when the first "reefkeeper," Lee Chin Eng, initiated many of the concepts and techniques that are fundamental to successful reefkeeping. Mr. Eng lived near the ocean in Indonesia and used many of the materials that were readily available to him from this source. "Living stones," which have come to be known as live rock, were used in his systems as the main source of biological filtration. He also used natural seawater and changed it on a regular basis. His tanks were situated so they would receive several hours of direct sunlight each day, which kept them well illuminated. The only technology he used was a small air pump, which bubbled slowly into the tank.

Anil, Senior Scientist, Vizhinjam Research Centre of Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Vizhinjam, Kerala - 695 521. E-mail : [email protected] Introduction A reef aquarium or reef tank is an aquarium containing live corals and other animals associated with coral reefs. These aquarium setups attempt to recreate marine life like that of the natural coral reef, often spectacularly coloured mixed reef that blend hard and soft corals from different parts of the world. Unlike the marine aquarium, which are built to house various types of fish, the main attraction in many reef tanks are the varieties coral and other invertebrates. Some points to remember before setting up a reef tank are the following: 1. Power access A reef tank requires a lot of power unless you use natural lighting, and even then it can be substantial. A 1000 L reef uses close to 30 amps peak, which means that you will need at least two dedicated breaker circuits of at least 15- 20 amps each. One can also expect fairly hefty power bills for the tank.

  • Processing Text
    4 Processing Text “I was trying to comprehend the meaning of the words” Spock, Star Trek: e Final Frontier 4.1 From Words to Terms Aer gathering the text we want to search, the next step is to decide if it should be modied or restructured in some way to simplify searching. e types of changes that are made at this stage are called text transformation or, more oen, text pro- cessing. e goal of text processing is to convert the many forms that words can occur into more consistent index terms. Index terms are the representation of the content of a document that are used for searching. e simplest decision about text processing would be to not do it at all. A good example of this is the “nd” feature in your favorite word processor. By the time you use the nd command, the text you wish to search has already been gathered: it’s on the screen. Aer you type the word you want to nd, the word processor scans the document and tries to nd the exact sequence of letters that you just typed. is feature is extremely useful, and nearly every text editing program can do this because users demand it. e trouble is that exact text search is rather restrictive. e most annoying restriction is case-sensitivity: suppose you want to nd “computer hardware,”and there is a sentence in the document that begins with “Computer hardware.” Your search query does not exactly match the text in the sentence, because the rst letter of the sentence is capitalized.
