For this video, I wanted to share a trip I took a few months ago to check out my friends at T.F.T Distributors' new facility in Weston, Florida. First of all, huge thanks to T.F.T for allowing me to come in after hours to shoot this quick footage. I went there to meet up with my friends John Miller of Mad Reefer, Chris Portale of The Fish Store, and Shane Lafrenere of 24/7 Aquariums and while we were there, I went ahead and asked for some tips on selecting a good specimen of fish, including what to look for and what to avoid. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy132 Peter- Waterbox Aquariums has redesigned their popular MARINE series aquariums to create the MARINE X with new features aquarium hobbyists will love. New features include glass overflow with removable weir teeth, dual returns, and a sump filtration system. The MARINE X series was designed with entry-level aquarium enthusiasts in mind. Each MARINE X series model includes the aquarium, laminated plywood cabinet, sump and plumbing kit. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter132 Main Topic: Reef Tank Real Estate Last time we spoke about tank size selection.

The traditional classification of corals is dead, says Prof Andrew Baird, from James Cook University, who led a recent scientific journey along the Great Barrier Reef, uncovering treasure troves of new, unidentified coral species. New molecular tools allow us to reinvent a new classification system on the ashes of the old. Hence, the name we have given to the research: Project Phoenix, he said. These are exciting times to be a coral taxonomist. What this means, essentially, is that new methods of DNA testing can target regions of the coral genome that are relevant to the specific research interests, allowing scientists to zero in on novel variants and better differentiate species. Many current coral species are predicted to turn into multiple true species, linked by their actual DNA profiles rather than physical appearance. Aquarists, divers, marine biologists: Be ready to have all your existing reference works on stony coral genera and species become obsolete. Dr. Andrea Quattrini, curator of corals at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, developed the new genetic tool. She says it provides a way forward with plans to secure the future of coral reefs. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy131 Peter- Talks with Sicce Tip of the Week: If you are going into or already using one of the systems we talk about this week, take a look at a really clever tool we noticed over on Melev's Reef.

For some sea anemones, however, it's actually quite literal. When starlet sea anemones eat more food, they sprout extra arms, according to a study published last week in Nature Communications. They are the first known species to grow entirely new limbs in response to consumption of food. These sea anemones show us that it is possible that nutrients are not converted into excess fat storage as it is the case in all mammals but instead transformed into a new body structure. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy130 Main Topic: Tank Size Selection: Upgrade or add to the collection Pt. 1 Where to start, upgrade, downsize or even add a new system. Big or Small? Let's talk tanks. While this topic is aimed at beginners, it should have something for everyone. It is always a fun topic to discuss and there are some great insights to the thought that can go into making a size selection. I took a look at our notes from the last time we talked about this all the way back in episodes 5 and 6 and boy have we progressed in our style and notes!!! Some of the info is the same and some has changed but, in any case, I thought this would be a great topic to go over again and see what's new.

Now, scientists there have taken a small step toward helping coral survive in a warmer world. For the first time, researchers have grown algae in a lab that can reduce coral bleaching, as it's known. The results are a notable advance in the growing field of assisted evolution, in which scientists are working to alter coral genetics to help them endure hotter water. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter125 Main Topic: Starting a YouTube Channel? Here's some things you'll need: 1. Camera (doesn't have to be anything fancy - Could be your phone!) 2. Tripod 3. Color Correcting Lens (Clip on orange filter...Polyp Lab, Orphek, Coralvue) 4.

The Documenter - you're doing this YouTube Channel for you. You want to see your reef grow over time. This could be public or private. 2. The Presenter - you may want input from commenters, you may want to show things off and get feedback. Sharing your experience. 3. The Content Creator/Influencer - You're writing outlines, researching, making a video with the audience in mind. Consistently posting. Sustain your hobby with extra income. Some Tips from Remy's experience: -JUST DO IT. (I delayed for months and months...just do it!) -Have thick skin. Trolls await. It's inevitable, they will hurt your feelings. Focus on those that connect with you rather than the people who contribute negativity to the conversation. -Get a little better with each upload.

Lesser known, however, are Brazil's tropical marine fishes; this is mostly because prior regulations kept some species entirely out of the aquarium trade, while others were readily available from other Caribbean sources. In the new policy, Brazil has created several common-sense processes for allowing the commercial exploitation of species that might otherwise not be permitted. This includes those that have yet to be formally described (mainly a problem with freshwater species), but also those that might otherwise exist on a red list of species that by default are not allowed for commercial collection and export, through a series of individual evaluations. Captive breeding also has prominent support in the new rules, and may be another pathway to market for species that would not otherwise be allowed for export. In addition, clear rules are laid out for the proper (and prohibited) collection methods of marine fishes. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy119 Peter- Divers Cut, Plant Coral off UAE Coast to Build Reef The divers, from the Fujairah Adventure Centre, are building artificial reefs they hope will spur a resurgence in sea life degraded over the years by climate change and development. The small team and other volunteers have planted more than 9,000 corals over about 600 square metres in the past year. Within five years, they hope to cover 300,000 square metres with 1.5 million corals. "It's a fertile environment for coral reefs, and this diversity has started spreading and has helped bring back sea life," diver Saeed al-Maamari told Reuters. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter119 Admin Profiles- Kyle Caminita- runs a small IT company in Hattiesburg, Mississippi taking care of mostly Medical Offices, CPAs, and Law Offices. He also started RadReefs last year which is a multi vendor coral marketplace. As for the hobby, he has been in it for 3 years now and currently have 3 systems running. A 210 mixed reef DT, his coral system consists of two low boys and a 100g Rubbermaid sump in his shop, and a little IM25 lagoon in his office. He loves the hobby, loves helping folks work through any tech or tank issues. Greg Cholewa- has been around aquariums most of his life. As a child, it was always freshwater. It wasn't until he was stationed over in Okinawa that he fell in love with all things coral reef related. He quickly had 3 tanks while over there, and then a fourth came. He had a mixture of corals, freshwater planted, axolotls, and cichlids. Once coming back stateside, one of the first things he established was a FOWLR as he knew he would be leaving again soon and could not justify a full blown reef. He is currently building out a WaterBox 130.4 that is plumbed to the basement where the sump, frag tank, and water mixing/change station all live and QT stations for coral and fish are also in the works. It has been a long process that is still ongoing. He really enjoys the planning of the build and trying to design everything out to make the easiest to maintain. Outside of equipment and the glass box, He try's to make sure everything else is custom and done by himself. The main focus is trying to have a very successful reef while attempting to keep everything as simple as possible. Main Topic: Whether just starting out, upgrading or working with a tight budget you can have a baller system without breaking the bank! Some industry leaders and reefers may look down on the budget reefer at least in jest (I think we have all looked for a more affordable option at least a few times..). We think that there is a ton of resourcefulness and brilliance that can be born of working within the confines of a tight budget. The key is not just getting stuff on the cheap but finding options that work well and last. Conclusion... This week we dive into the DIY, cover bang for your buck options talk a bit about frags, trading and selling.

This is after a two year shut down for an environmental compliance review stemming from a Supreme Court ruling. After 2 years of compiling the most recent and comprehensive data on the fishery, this DEIS shows that the Oahu aquarium fishery has little to no detrimental impact to the environment or Native Hawaiian cultural practices. This DEIS describes scientific data from both state and federal management agencies and also includes a cultural impact assessment that directly engages the Native Hawaiian community. Aquarium fisheries in Hawaii are likely the most sustainable near shore fisheries in the state, and we continue to work with state and federal resource managers to develop additional steps to ensure the resource is healthy for future generations. Complete this form to submit comments IN SUPPORT of the DEIS. Comments will go directly to the Department of Aquatic Resources, DEIS Consultant, and the DEIS Applicant.

We strive to inspire, educate, and motivate our reefing customers and sellers on the importance of aquaculturing corals and doing business with local hobbyists. CoralPickup was launched in February 2020. The website and local coral selling service was launched by Kelsi Guidry because he saw a need for an easier way to promote local corals for sale as well as an easier way to find and buy local corals. Kelsi used his website development skills and reefing relationships to launch the first coral marketplace focused on local pickup. Sent by Blake Dufrene https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter118 Profiles: Dustin Haas: Has been in the aquarium hobby for almost 15 years now. Started out in freshwater with convict cichlids which quickly started breeding, which led to more and more tanks. He also kept African cichlids and many other tropical fish for about 2 years until he got hooked into the salty side of the hobby. Started with a 10g and a mantis shrimp that someone local was throwing away. Corals and fish were right behind and has been keeping only saltwater aquariums for about 10 years now. He currently has a 40g breeder, 32g biocube, 20g waterbox cube, and a 75g build in process. He loves LPS corals, high end mushrooms and zoas, eels, clownfish and anemones, and really everything this hobby has to offer. There is so much, there will always be something new. He really wants to thank my amazing wife for helping him take care of the animals, and putting up with all my spilled water over the years, she really loves the hobby too, which can be a blessing. Kevin DaCorte: Has kept freshwater aquariums throughout his childhood and has been reefing for about 4 years. His main display is a 40-gallon breeder mixed reef and keeps a variety of corals in the tank but recently has been getting into more zoas and euphyllia. He recently bought an Apex controller and being a front-end developer by trade, has loved playing around and trying out new ways to code things into it. His favorite show he goes to every year is his and our local frag swap Frag Farmers Market. He funds his tank passion as a Graphic Designer and Front-End Developer for a bev/alc. marketing company during the day.

The over 2000-page EIS had been produced by a group of ten West Hawaii aquarium fishers and the National Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, on their proposal to ask the DLNR to issue permits to the ten aquarium fishers. The proposed permits themselves were not before the BLNR for decision. The Supreme Court in 2017, in Umberger et. al vs. the Department of Land and Natural Resources, issued a decision requiring for the first time, chapter 343 environmental review for the issuance of permits required to use fine mesh nets for aquarium fishing. No permits have been issued since the 2017 decision, though aquarium fishing using other gear, considered less optimal for aquarium fishing but not regulated under Hawaiian law, continues. The EIS was an applicant-action rather than an agency-action, meaning it was proposed by the aquarium fishers, not the Department. After reviewing the applicant aquarium fishers' proposal and testimony and deliberating for over four hours, the BLNR determined that the EIS did not adequately disclose the potential environmental impacts from the issuance of ten aquarium fishing permits for West Hawaii. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy116 Admin Profiles: Nigel Shemanski manages the Reef News Network TikTok account.

The finding suggests that some fish, including popular eating and aquarium species, might have a role to play in keeping the destructive pest population under control. The native starfish (Acanthaster solaris) is responsible for widespread damage to the Great Barrier Reef with an outbreak is currently underway. Aside from a mollusk called the Giant Triton (Charonia tritonis), identifying what eats it has been a challenging task. This study found through a unique DNA marker in fish gut content and fecal matter that a confirms that at least 18 coral reef fish species consume young or adult COT starfish on the reef. "Our findings might also solve a mystery -- why reef areas that are closed to commercial and recreational fishing tend to have fewer starfish than areas where fishing is allowed," said Dr Kroon. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy115 Peter- A new study reveals clear evidence highlighting the importance of fish biodiversity to the health of spectacular tropical coral reef ecosystems. However, the study's results show that even though strong relationships between diversity and a healthy ecosystem persist, human-driven pressures of warming oceans and invasive species still diminish ecosystems in various ways. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter115 Admin Profiles: Blaine Boone: Roles IG admin, FB group admin, sergent at arms Blaine is 29 and from Nashville TN, he has been in the reefing hobby for only 2 years so still fairly new.

He is currently in the process of working with his business partner to create Scotland's first coral farm called "Rock'n'Reef Aquaculture". Reef keeping holds a very special place in his heart, it has always been there for him during difficult times and having that focus is a big reason why he feels he owes so much to promoting the survival and sustainability of these animals we all love so very much. The Reefing scene is very much behind that of his American counterparts, so the opportunity to be a part of the Reef News Network team has been a dream come true, this collaboration means we can bring exciting opportunities to the UK and help expand the hobby, perhaps bringing it into a new era! Main Topic: Rock is the foundation of the majority of our systems and reefs in general. A few alternatives like Bonsai, premade ceramic structures or decorations come into play in a small percentage of tanks but those are a whole other topic. Today we will clarify some of the confusion surrounding rock will discuss preparation, why and how it works, different options available today and terminology. Reefers Dictionary: Live Rock: Porous rock that is colonized with bacteria that aid in filtration. Dead Rock aka Dry Live Rock: Porous rock that has treated, dried out and is void of beneficial bacteria. Dry Rock: Mined from the earth's extinct prehistoric reefs in areas where the ocean has moved on. Manmade Rock: Made from a variety of natural components/ingredients formed into shapes mimicking naturally occurring rock. Microbiome: The genetic material of all the microbes - bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses - that live on and inside the rock.

Jamie Craggs and his team at the Horniman Museum & Gardens first successfully spawned and raised Acropora corals in an aquarium environment in 2013. Now this same team has succeeded in spawning the first generation of corals they raised in aquariums. The focus of this successive spawning study producing the world's first F2 generation of aquarium corals was none other than the illustrious Acropora millepora, a widespread, fast growing and very colorful coral. Also, as a really interesting side note, some familiar equipment was used to recreate the environmental marker that induce coral spawning. In particular, Radion LEDs were used. Together with the Horniman coral spawning team Ecotech has been refining some features of their light fixtures specifically for the purpose of promoting coral spawning. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy114 Peter- I've enjoyed this hobby for decades, and Dinoflagellates are the first pest that had me considering a break from reef-keeping. Both of my reef aquariums would get dinoflagellate outbreaks whenever I would make small changes. Corals struggled to grow and thrive while covered in the brown snot. I actually converted my smaller reef aquarium into a freshwater planted system, because it was in a more prominent area of the house, I couldn't stand looking at it. On the larger tank, I tried all the recommended solutions: UV, copepods, raising nutrients, peroxide, You name it. Then I stumbled on a forum post and youtube video by a reef2reef user, hankacrank.

When the garden eels at a Tokyo aquarium remove their heads from the sand, they are usually confronted by pairs of human eyes staring back at them through the glass. But like other animals around the world, the eels at Sumida Aquarium are finding their environment transformed by the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. They also appear to be forgetting what humans look like. Concerned that the garden eels so named because their grass-like appearance when, en masse, they poke their heads out of the seabed could come to see visitors as a threat, the aquarium is asking people to get in touch in the form of a calming video calls. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy113 Peter- Bioluminescence might seem uncommon, even alien. But biologists think organisms evolved the ability to light up the dark as many as 50 different times, sending tendrils of self-powered luminosity coursing through the tree of life, from fireflies and vampire squids to lantern sharks and foxfire, a fungus found in rotting wood. Despite all this diversity, the general rules stay the same. Glowing in the dark or the deep takes two ingredients. You need some sort of luciferin, a molecule that can emit light. And you need an enzyme, luciferase, to trigger that reaction like the snapping of a glowstick. Some creatures delegate this chemistry to symbiotic bacteria. Others possess the genes to make their own versions of luciferin and luciferase. But then there's the golden sweeper, a reef fish that evolved a trick that hasn't been seen anywhere else, according to a study published Wednesday in Science Advances: It just gobbles up bioluminescent prey and borrows the entire kit. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter113 Tip of the Week: Black eggcrate is head and shoulders above white eggcrate for frag racks.

Over the last 5 years, coral nursery operations have expanded exponentially in PR and the VI. The report outlines that 2,368 corals were outplanted from the coral nurseries to 13 different sites. This includes 1,821 Acropora cervicornis (Staghorn Coral), 467 Acropora palmata (Elkhorn Coral), 35 Dendrogyra cylindrus (Pillar Coral) and 10 Xestospongia muta (Giant Barrel Sponge). In addition to outplanting these facilities are conducting genetic analyses of the farmed species. With only a small number of the total samples taken analyzed, the results from 73 samples, 41 different genotypes are present in the nurseries at La Parguera and Guanica. Genotype diversity is very important as it increases the odds of survival by providing a specimen system more capable of adapting to pest and environmental stressors. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy112 Peter- The Florida Aquarium celebrated Earth Day this year by announcing a history-making accomplishment that could help save the United States' only living coral barrier reef from extinction.

You can watch a Netflix documentary about animals that make you never want to hike, swim, or dive in the dark again, take a long bike ride thinking about anything and everything that comes to your mind, or peep at a photo of somebody else's aquarium being awesome and get inspired by that experience. You can also casually lurk around the website of United States Patent and Trademark Office to see if any of the aquarium industry companies you know and follow filed for any new trademarks worth checking. Out of boredom, you know. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter103 Main Topic: This is the Reef News Network, why are we talking about Brackish Aquariums??

The other two are biological and chemical filtration. Mechanical filtration is an essential component of a saltwater aquarium. Whether it is a filter sock, filter pad, or filter block, is up to you; but they all physically remove debris from your tank water. The mechanical filter media sits inside your filter unit and physically traps and strains any solid waste that passes through your filter system. With the waste removed, clean water flows back to your aquarium.

Every new species of marine fish that's bred for the first time ups the species tally by one: one more proof of concept, one more accomplishment in the world of marine ornamental aquaculture, one more step into uncharted territory, even if the path is somewhat familiar. Captive-bred Seal's Cardinalfish being prepared for export from Palau. From Biota: The Seal's Cardinalfish is a hardy and beautiful shoaling species of cardinalfish. These do extremely well in reef tanks and peaceful community tanks. When they reach adulthood, the Seal's Cardinalfish have beautiful blue eyes and a yellowish hue with defined horizontal lines. Biota's specimens are currently feeding on Reef Nutrition's TDO C1, Piscene Energetics Mysis pellets, and Hikari mysis shrimp. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy100 Peter- One of the largest reef systems on Earth, it teems with wildlife like friendly wild dolphins, and attracts more than a million tourists a year.

Normally, surface temperatures in that part of the Pacific hover around 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), but they're 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), according to James Renwick, a scientist at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. "It's the biggest patch of above-average warming on the planet right now," Renwick told The Guardian.

Captive-bred mandarins represent a complete shift in the husbandry of these often difficult-to-keep fishes; while they are still slow, methodical, bottom-picking substrate feeders,captive-bred mandarins will arrive eating inanimate pellet feeds when properly weaned during the early rearing phases. Dragonet breeding is a challenging project that the dedicated home aquarist can take on, and with only Synchiropus splendidus in active commercial cultivation at the moment, there is an opportunity for several other species (including the less-seen Red Mandarin) to be produced as captive-bred offerings. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy92 Peter- Federal officials announced plans Monday to raise $100 million to fund projects to restore seven significant coral reef sites in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

The study estimates that about 1/3 of all corals worldwide are infected with this newly discovered bacterium which researchers named, Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri. The bacterium can be found in a number of corals that we commonly keep in our aquariums including, Acropora, Goniopora, Montipora, Seriatopora and Stylophora species. Additionally, it can also be found in anemones.

The former Navy fuel barge and its monstrous passenger were placed underwater in order to jumpstart a new coral ecosystem, while also serving as a cutting-edge education center for marine researchers and local students from the surrounding British Virgin Islands. The project is titled the BVI Art Reef, and aims to use sculptures like the porous kraken as a base to grow transplanted coral. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy88 Peter- A new article published in the journal Scientific Reports reveals 44% of the colonies of Didemnum vexillum -a marine invertebrate tagged as invasive species- in the Ebro Delta (Tarragona, Spain) are formed by gene chimera, that is, cells with different gene pool. According to the study, this ability to create chimera could be a determining factor to promote genetic diversity and the colonizing success of this exotic species in natural ecosystems worldwide. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter88 Main Topic: Welcome to BristlewormMania: Bristleworms (or bristle worms) are segmented worms with bristly tufts extending from each of their segments. They can grow very largeup to 24 inches in a tankbut most are between one and six inches long. They are nocturnal and tend to stay in or under live rock or in the your substrate. You may never see a bristleworm in your tank unless you look for them at night with a flashlight or expose them by moving a rock or displacing the substrate.

Take a look at how others do things that work for them. There is a ton of content available, check things out and see what is working for others, you may find a small or even a large tweak to your own methods that could be helpful. Last week, I saw a YouTube video on attaching SPS frags from Chaos Aquaculture (I will put a link in the show notes) and it was excellent and I am going to give it a shot next time I frag. - http://bit.ly/RNNtow87 Main Topic: Deep dive into ICP testing with Sarah from Fritz Aquatics.
