Special request from Jonathan for his bleached porcelain crab.. I have the original size file as well if you need bigger..
Same Porcelain crab with Jon holding his crab condo
pumps that suck water in from the bay for use..
more pumps that circulate water to other buildings
mangroves and rain simulator..
Jon's Rock overrun with gsp Sorry about the condensation on my lens.. Lotsa humidity in the room and large temp changes between rooms...
Heading for the tank rooms
1200g reservoir...
San Francisco Tyee Clubs holding pens for salmon:
Concrete anchors from the war to hold the nets in place under the golden gate bridge..
Now used to hold the tyee clubs salmon pens...
A pic of Tylers pic of a 12' colony of
SFSU's collection point
pics of the two areas that were being studied..
Temp graph of temp fluctuations..
High Ceilings...
Future home of Phong's old tank..

Thanks to Jonathan and Tyler for the invite and tour.
Interesting research on coral temperature tolerance by means of adaptation, acclimation, or zooxanthellae take up.
For those who haven't met Jonathan yet, he is a BAR member from back in the Tropical Paradise(TP) days.
Check out the research that he's done with porcelain crabs:

Tyler is setting up holding tanks for Samoan corals that are able to withstand high temperatures found in tidepools.
We've invited him to post a build or project thread here documenting his work. It will be a great chance for us to follow along with the research lab activities and ask questions about the experiments.
If you have kids that might be interested in marine biology or invertebrate zoology, have them peek in on Tyler's thread
Tyler, if you have any equipment setup or water chemistry questions, feel free to post. We'll help if we can!

Seriously, those are the porcelain crabs.
Did you see the pic of the cooler with the heat exchange coils?
The crabs get corks glued to their shells and they're clipped to the clothespin things.
Then they get put into the temperature controlled bath. The temperature is varied and their heart rates are recorded over time.
There's a pic of the data acquisition hardware.
Then there's some bioassay kind of stuff to see what's going on with the crabs.
