This is one of the more recent and cutting-edge methods of reef restoration, which we believe holds the greatest promise for the future. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy151-2 Mini MACNA February 27, 2021 The Location: Online 1 Day, 3 Speakers, 1 Workshop, 1 Panel Discussion, and More! Adopting an online format for a mid-year gathering, mini MACNA is an opportunity for our community to come together and continue to learn about our incredible marine aquarium hobby. Mini MACNA will be held on February 27, 2021, as a webinar event, with the theme of Overcoming Challenges in Reefkeeping. Jamie Cragg: For my talk, I'll be covering advances in coral spawning system designs, some challenges of coral spawning at home, and tips on spawning new species, and finally, I'll be focusing on approaches to produce new coral color morphs through selective breeding of chimeras (grafted coral) and its future potential for the industry. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy151-1 Peter- Live Rocks- How they should be treated So, the first concern is to keep them healthy and active bacteria alive, which is used in the nitrification before and the denitrification after. Our interlocutor believes that the majority of pathogenic parasites aren't introduced with the rocks, but with the corals, so he never treats the rocks with chemical/osmotic systems, or similar. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter151 Hydros XS Hits the market! http://bit.ly/RNNnewsHydrosXS Main Topic: The Anthias Algorithm Anthias have mixed reviews in the hobby and with good reason! The stunning colors and patterns along with the sometimes-high difficulty level for successful keeping, make for a polarizing reputation. We believe almost every species we care for has different care levels, even on a case-by-case basis, but with good preparation you can put yourself in the best position for success! This week we will discuss an overview of the species, feeding, care, some of the types available and our favorites.

Mit unserem Gast Peter Müller diskutieren Dominik und Jörg über einen Vortrag von Dr. Tim Hovanec auf der MACNA 2019 zum Ammoniumchlorid-Cycling von neuem Gestaltungsmaterial beim Beckenstart und Umbau, um bakterielle Nitrifikationsprozesse im Meerwasseraquarium zu etablieren (Genauer Titel: "How to harness bacteria to cycle your saltwater tank quickly"). Wie und ob das "Cycling" zu unserer deutschen Meerwasseraquaristik passt, welche Vor- und Nachteile eine hohe Nitrifikationsrate im Meerwasseraquarium hat und was man beim Beckenumbau mit Riffneugestaltung akut gegen hohe Ammoniak/Ammonium-Konzentrationen tun kann, das und manches mehr beschäftigt uns in dieser Folge. Happy Reefing!

Scientists from WMG at the University of Warwick, led by Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, developed a 1cm by 1cm wireless artificial aquatic polyp, which can remove contaminants from water. Apart from cleaning, this soft robot could be also used in medical diagnostic devices by aiding in picking up and transporting specific cells for analysis. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy126 Peter- 30 New Deep-Sea Species Discovered Near The Galapagos A team of scientists have announced the discovery of 30 new invertebrate species collected on deep water expedition around the Galapagos National Park. The team discovered new corals and sponges, including ten bamboo corals, four octocorals, one brittle star, and eleven sponges, they even collected four new species of squat-lobsters. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter126 Main Topic: The Anemone Episode Pt. 2 Last time we discussed some basics, anatomy, popular types found in the hobby and symbiosis. One of the many resources we tapped into for this episode was the late Bob Fenner's MACNA 2017 anemone presentation. What is amazing is that the success rate for many reefers keeping anemones has been on the incline for the years preceding this talk but have jumped to whole new levels since. Long term anemone keeping used to be a rarity but has become a much more common occurrence, with the distribution of quality information gains in success multiply quickly. Today we will go over parameters, timing, husbandry, pests and aquaculture/propagation.

Starting as a Family Hobby fueled by his son's interest it has grown to the family business; Northwoods Coral & Fish Farm LLC out of Central Wisconsin. He is dedicated to helping Reef Keepers nationwide to be successful and source healthy Fish and Corals. Nicholas Loftus: 19 years-old, an explosive ordnance disposal technician in the USAF that has been reef keeping for 6 years. Originally began with freshwater aquariums at a very young age then discovered the reefing community. Currently keeping a 220 mixed reef along with some smaller tanks. Loves the community aspect of reefing and all the amazing people. Always looking to learn something new as the hobby evolves so quickly! Main Topic: The LFS has long been the life's blood of this hobby, the connection to livestock and equipment and also a huge resource of knowledge. Times are changing and we would like to stress the importance of the LFS as a cornerstone of the hobby. While not everyone has access to a good LFS near them some people have options. Online options are real and numerous. In the past decade the landscape of online vendors has changed dramatically. If you search for online coral and livestock vendors the sheer number of results is intimidating. Finding a solid reliable option is the goal, we will provide some pointers to help you find a good option for you.

First one I watched was Marc Levenson's talk on setting up a new tank. It is very thorough and has some great things to take into consideration. Highly recommended for those just getting into the hobby or anyone who is about to upgrade.

Main Topic: Reactor Overview and detailed Calcium Reactor walkthrough. Don't React, Set up a Reactor . Sidebar: What are Bio-pellets made of What Are Biopellets? Per the Marine Depot Blog: Biopellets are a biodegradable polymer that is made from bacteria. They act like steroids for the beneficial bacteria in your system. You want a strong colony of this bacteria because it naturally controls the nitrates in a tank. Corals need some small levels of nitrates and phosphates to thrive. But too much of either can lead to problems like coral death or algae bloom.

The Marine Aquarium Conference of North America (MACNA) landed in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, this year with a wonderful turnout of both vendors and attendees.  Professionals and hobbyists were introduced to some of the latest products and advancements in the marine aquarium trade and were able to interact with some of their favorite icons within our industry. We sat down with Alex Grah, the founder of Abyzz (all the way from Germany), to talk about his amazing products and how they have not only changed our business for the better, but are moving the entire aquarium community in a more efficient and impressive direction!
