All attendees: please arrive promptly at noon as our campus is not open to the public and we will need to let you into the gate. If you are late, you won't be able to get in. Please use the entrance at 3150 paradise drive, where all you will see is a large gate and sign ( but no buildings)...

Looking great!

Spectacular! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can't tell from the video what the white blob is on the fish's enlarged anterior dorsal fin that goes up from it's head (and I'm guessing that structure is a part of the dorsal fin). Could be a parasitic copepod, or possible some sort...

Sorry I'm going to be out of town for this one! My restarted nano wouldn't be much worth stopping for, anyhow...

I could house it for you at the lab in the coral flat.

I stopped in today. Insanity! They got a new delivery of livestock and are having a bag sale. Very nice fish at cheap prices!

RESTART! All sand removed and rinsed - really dirty stuff came out. All rocks removed, except one that has the rose bubble tip and a few red mushrooms plus 2 types of macro algae (one red, one green). Rocks were soaked in bleach for a few days, rinsed with >10 changes of water, dried...

I'll definitely take you up on this! Thanks.

Thanks guys! Jon, what type of clowns are you raising? Boun, let's do a playdate regardless of tank stuff.

Nice rule of thirds application on close up photo!

Well, I've decided to do a 'restart' on this tank. The fish all had parasites (ich or oodinium) that they got from a klein's butterfly that I added to eat the aiptasia, and it did eat 'em. I removed the fish to a hospital tank, which was really a death tank, and now I have no fish. And the...

It was a fun talk for sure. Thanks Gary! Any chance you would share your text slides? For those interested, there are several apps that can shift the white balance on your iPhone camera. I have no idea of how well they work, but just good to know they exist if you are interested. Just...

One more cool fact about mantis shrimp vision; they can see circular polarized light (light waves in certain regular circular orientations). http://ib.berkeley.edu/labs/caldwell/Caldwell%20pdfs/Chiou_etal_2008.pdf

How to take great tank pics with a phone camera.

oluJW7uK7rw Check out this video for a demonstration of living coral fluorescent pigments. The images and video are made using a special (and expensive) microscope called a "confocal"

I'd be happy to get involved with SPEAR. Will it be anything like SHIELD? Seriously, my time is already pretty maxed out...though I'd be glad to help!

It's really unfortunate that you are moving so slowly with this project.....;-)

The electrode-based systems need to be calibrated periodically, and are sensitive to both temperature and salinity. We use 2% sodium sulfite to make water that has 0% oxygen, and water that is vigorously bubbled as the 100% saturation standard.

Dr. Ross - this is really cool stuff! Congrats. There is a local Nat Geog photographer who could be a good contact. I'll PM you his info. Jonathon

nice - and it was a beautiful day for an outdoor project too!
