The contact time between air and water is the second most important point, the venturi-system and the Needle Wheel rotor together with the bubble diffusor plate ensures an optimized air/water contact time in the skimmer body.

    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.

Simple Summary: Paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) has been a favored subject of behavioral research during the last decades of the 20th century. Lately, however, with a massively expanding genetic toolkit and a well annotated, fully sequenced genome, zebrafish (Danio rerio) became a central model of recent behavioral research. But, as the zebrafish behavioral repertoire is less complex than that of the paradise fish, the focus on zebrafish is a compromise. With the advent of novel methodologies, we think it is time to bring back paradise fish and develop it into a modern model of Citation: Rácz, A.; Adorján, G.; behavioral and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) studies. The first step is to define the Fodor, E.; Sellyei, B.; Tolba, M.; housing and husbandry conditions that can make a paradise fish a relevant and trustworthy model.

  • P1000 Trickle Filter

    P1000 Trickle Filter

    P1000 TRICKLE FILTER The P1000 is the perfect filter for systems up to 100 gallons. With all the same features of our larger units, the P1000 filter’s better performance and higher quality place it at the top of its class. The filter is designed for use with submersible pumps such as the Danner Mag Drive Series. The unique pre-filter over the drip plate is suspended above the drain holes to prevent clogging. The drip plate has a safety overflow port and is deep enough for chemical media, in addition to the proprietary pre-filter pads supplied. The white Sintra® lid over the drip plate helps silence the unit. Clear acrylic lids are optional. The AquaLifeBio media with its higher void space and sweep- ing surfaces far outperform other media. The unit’s secondary sponge filter can be placed beneath the media for conserving sump space, in the sump area using the partition wall, or in the sump with carbon above it for draining a protein skimmer, like the Model 22V. For heavily loaded systems or for just increasing the filtration capacity of the filter, a second sponge can be added giving the unit an unmatched dual sponge post filter configuration. With easy hook up and installation, this Aquarium Life Support Systems filter is unrivaled quality and superior performance at an economical price from a company you can count on. Like all of our filters, the P1000 is constructed from the 1/4” cast acrylic with the superior design, workmanship and features our customers have come to expect, and are backed up with a Lifetime Warranty.

    Greetings….And Salutations! Looking Back …

    Greetings….and salutations! This club has exploded! With the expansion in members it has become increasingly difficult to meet the needs of all the various members. However, this growth has also allowed us to bring in more guest speakers, have a great BBQ and it puts us in a position to have an astounding first. The Reef Tour this year is FREE! That’s right, never before have we not asked for a minimal donation to support the club and the Reef Tour. Keep your eyes posted to your emails and the message board. If you are new to the club, or the hobby you will undoubtedly find other members with larger tanks. So what did we do…we looked for information on those tanks. Sit back and enjoy! Looking Back … By: Shane Heil Shortly after my wife and I married, her parents came to visit and brought a small load of her childhood treasures. I looked through the box with little interest until I happened onto a small fish tank. I didn’t really know what I was looking at but my wife was more than happy to explain. If she had known then what that five gallon aquarium would lead to I’m sure she would have kept her mouth shut. But, as fate would have it, she didn’t and we set up our first aquarium that night. Our first attempt at aquatic life was not fish, but rather a small snapping turtle. I was fascinated watching the turtle hunt and eat goldfish. I also found myself spending more and more time staring at fish at the local fish store.
