This has got to be pretty rare. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15761147 - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&a mp;a mp;db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15761147 If you want the whole article I'll send it too you that's allowed. can't just post it due to copyrights and to CMA. Some macros need specific factors from marine bacteria to proterly grow and develop. Who knows how general this may be to other marine critters --> Thank goodness for live rock! I'm pretty new to the hobby but from what I understand many coral sp. were difficult to keep in captivity before the poularization of LR...hmnnhnmnnn. I wonder what fantastic undescovered bacteria and molecules dwell in my tank right now. Don't see much macroalgae in science. Pretty cool though. For me it reinforces a philisophy of not 'over' filtering and sterilizing marine systems. Leads me to a question, How do I keep organic toxins and inorganic metabolites out of my water and leave the bugs? ~andy ------------- "Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends.

Took a quick read through of the paragraph...and was very disappointed in myself. Sure I knew it was about algae, but other than that I had no idea what it was about. Guess that's what I get for thinking I was good with science. Way beyond my ken! (Good thing Merriam-Webster and I get along). Intriguing after I understood what was being said. ------------- Cortney (West Jordan) The joy of discovery is certainly the liveliest that the mind of man can ever feel. - Claude Bernard |

That is really cool.
I've long surmised that there was something going on between organisms in our marine environment. That partly explains some of the true cause for organisms doing well in one persons aquarium and dieing in another seemingly identical system. We speak of the usual water parameters being right on, but wondering why a problem persists...it's the entire eocomorphology we are dealing with. Amazing. We haven't even begun to understand the intricacy.... ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

I'm glad you guys think this is cool too. It does my heart good to see modern methods brought to bear on marine systems. Seems like the only labs doing this are Japanese though... too bad Americans don't get to work in Japanese labs The other example I'm thinking of is the pufferfish genome. back in 1998-2000 a group of labs sequenced not one, but two pufferfish genomes. Takifugu rupripes and takifugu spheroides. I had high hopes for this work but it didn't actually teach us much (no genome project does, waste of money IMO.) I wonder if one of our resident algae experts would tell me what Ulva and Enteromorpha are? Does anyone keep these in ther system? ~andy ------------- "Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends. Well, I say there are some things we don't want to know.

Ulva sp. (sea lettuce):
Enderomorpha sp. I don't know anything about them, but I think they'd look great in a planted tank (or refugium). ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |
