Studying Coral Reefs using AI
Coral reefs are hard to study. Despite their best efforts, there is only so much time in a day for a research team to work on the reef - automation and AI are here to help! By automating tasks like counting living and dead coral colonies, algae, fish of a certain species, etc, teams can spend more time doing actual science. Artificial intelligence is here to stay, so it's nice to see it applied for our greater good!

Fish Food's Nutrition Facts
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 2 lety
What's in that fish food? How to understand the nutrition facts that your fish food is giving you so you can make smart choices about the food you feed your reef tank. The US FDA or State regulations require that guaranteed analysis labels show some things (like crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and moisture), and some companies go beyond that. In general, foods with higher levels of prote...
What's the best coral food for growth?
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed 2 lety
Isochrysis galbana, an easy to grow algae, is one of the best foods for Acropora in our reef tanks. For less than $100 you can grow nearly endless amounts of this phytoplankton for your coral and feed your reef. It's obvious that we should feed our fish, but less people feed their corals. Of those that do, most of you are probably feeding LPS corals, or maybe Zoanthus, Ricordia, that sort of co...

Acropora, Montipora, Acanthastrea... they all can create complex currents in the water near them using tiny hairs. Many, including all our SPS, create interior networks and channels (called a gastrov...

How Hybrid Fish and Corals can Create New Species

Hybrid reef fish are available infrequently in the hobby, and they always go for almost crazy amounts of money.

    Is it smarter to run a long schedule with less par or a 12 hour with the right par that corals like lps need. I lost my programs on two tanks and was out the door to the hospital so I pressed lps in one tank and other has preselects by regions so I choose great barrier reef! I notice that the par isnt what it should be now that I have a par meter. My lps are in about 80 par. in most of the time The thing I noticed about these preselects is lower par but long run times. I am petrified to change it now because its been running almost 2 years but some recent additions havnt done so well. Some died but others are ok. I also was correcting 2 years of not dosing to because I idint know my hanna alk checker was 3 points higher then it should be. What the heck should I do? I have a lot of corals coming and bad timing but they have held these corals since last year because they owed me and didnt want to pay up! Is it not dangerous to lower you settings for new corals instead of just placing them lower in the tank at first like you said. Could changing the light program kill my corals if its in the right spectrun but maybe a little higher or lower par? I am thinking of doing a 12 hour program insted of the 14 and 15 hour one that was what presets were. Should I do a 2 hour ramp up and down then 8 hours at the same numbers or is it better to ramp up 2 different settings for the 8 hour run time. Kind of like how the sun comes up and not so bright until noon or later when it gets really bright? Sorry so many questions lol Love you channel
