News: Jeremy: A gigantic floating raft of volcanic rock that emerged from an underwater volcano eruption in the Pacific Ocean is slowly drifting towards the Australian coast, heartening hopes it could benefit the imperilled Great Barrier Reef. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy77
Peter: Students Invent Bacteria that turns plastic into water. The development of this technology is divided into two parts: First the plastic is dissolved and the enzymes as catalyze whereby the plastic becomes highly malleable fractions. These components are placed in a biodigester station, where they behave as if they were leftovers of food. The project runs in just 24 hours, to move from plastic to water, really promising. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter77
Tip of the week: Complete any warranties that your equipment comes with, print a copy of the receipt and keep in the box for each piece of equipment. If something arises this will at least take away some of the stress in a tough situation.
Main Topic: Maintaining your equipment is one rung in the ladder to a successful long-term reef system that is often stepped right over or only touched on at a cursory level. We noticed that with recent vacations and more trips / commitments on the horizon that taking a few minutes to ensure all your equipment and system plans are in tip top shape can make all the difference. Simple maintenance is not just about keeping things neat and tidy but also ensuring the efficacy and lifespan of your equipment.

News: Peter: The Versa Utility Pump is Ecotech Marine's first entry into the world of precision peristaltic dosing pumps. Ecotech has mastered the science of creating water flow inside the aquarium with their Vortech Pumps, they're building the standard in high performance centrifugal pumps with the Vectra, so it's only natural that Ecotech designed a dosing pump system of their own in the Versa.
Jeremy: A phenomenon that makes coral spawn more than once a year is improving the resilience of the Great Barrier Reef. The discovery was made by researchers investigating whether corals that split their spawning over multiple months are more successful at spreading their offspring across different reefs.
Listener Call: Rebecca called in to ask our advice about moving a tank.
Main Topic: DIY can be fun and help save money and when it comes to the aquarium hobby there are endless numbers of DIY projects from the simple to the extremely advanced. Today we are going to discuss a few of our favorites that cover all bases of skill and ability. As with everything in this hobby there are a million ways to do a single thing and DIY is no different, what we discuss here is by NO means the only way to do these projects and there are endless amounts of resources from YouTube to forums to help you get ideas and find how tos. CAVEAT: Please understand RNN is not responsible for any failed DIY projects, attempt any and all of these at your own risk!
1. Water Making Station: for most people water changes are imperative for a successful reef tank, having premade salt water and a surplus of fresh can prove invaluable for water changes, ATO containers and spare water for dipping corals and fish. a. Method to be used: Brut Can b. Required Equipment: 2 Brut Cans(size based on amount of water you make), various pvc pipe and fittings(size based on size of cans), pvc glue, 3 valves, RODI float stop(optional),Uniseal bulkheads(size based on plumbing size), external pump, remote plug c. Setup: 1 can for fresh, 1 can for salt, both cans plumbed to pump with valve in between each can and pump, pump outlet to top of salt can with T and valve in between. T has valve attached and either threaded or quick connect fittings for fresh or salt output. RODI can be plumbed directly into fresh can with float valve or run into can when needed. d. How to use: RODI water is pumped into fresh can, water from fresh can be pumped into salt can for mixing through the use of valves and pump. Once water is in salt can, RODI can be isolated and then recirculated to mix salt. Hose can then be connected to outlet T and pumped into containers or directly into tank. Through the use of valves both fresh and salt can be isolated and pumped out of system.
2. Invert/Fish Trap: Everyone gets a jerk invert or fish, while commercial products exist they are often pricey and sometimes complicated, while certainly better for inverts than fish this simple bottle trap can prove effective to get rid of that jerk crab or fish. a. Method to be used: Plastic bottle b. Required Equipment: Soda bottle(size depending on what you are trying to catch) c. Setup: take bottle and cut top off, invert top and using reef safe adhesive glue the top inverted into the bottom creating a bottle neck into the larger body of the bottle. d. How to use: Place food of choice into the container and fill with water. Submerse and place in area that invert or fish frequents, check regularly.
3. Sump from Tank: Sumps are very desirable for a successful reef tank, not only does it add water volume it allows you to hide or run various pieces of equipment such as skimmers, reactors and pumps. Inaddition you can utilize sumps to help breed pods and deal with nuisance algae through a refugium. Sumps can get costly fast but don't need to be cost prohibitive to get the benefits of having one a. Method to be used: Standard tank sump b. Required Equipment: Off the shelf tank of desired size for display, baffle kit(various sellers available), glue/silicone, filtersock holder or rollermat(optional) c. Setup: determine the layout of the sump you want, most are simple 3 chamber setups(inlet, skimmer/fuge chamber, return chamber), some kits include a filter sock holder(if not they can be purchased separately or this is a good opportunity to use arollermat). Using 2x4 scrap build 2 L blocks ensuing they are square to be used as baffle holders for gluing. Measure and mark where each baffle will go and begin your glue up. Put baffle into tank where it will be glued, add a dot of silicon to bottom of tank and insert first L bracket and bring it up against baffle. Ensure it is in right location and straigt and then add drop to base of tank and add second racket. Once held in place you are ready to glue up the sides. Run a bead of silicone up each side where baffle meets tank wall, using a wet finger or caulking tool run it up along the silicone to create an even and clean bead of caulk. Let dry for appropriate time and them pop out the brackets, clean up any silicone on base of tank and seal in bottom of baffle. On pieces that require a gap for water to run under, make a spacer of appropriate height to place under to hold off bottom. Rinse and repeat panel by panel until allbaffles are in and sealed. Let all silicon fully cure before use. d. How to use: Place sump under tank and plumb drain pipe into the drain chamber(into filter sock or rollermat), install required or desired equipment(heater, skimmer, pumps, etc), plumb return pump to return line, fill and test levels for power outages.
4. APEX Automation(Cabinet lights, Fans, any on/off): APEX and controllers in general are one of the best pieces of equipment you can get for creating automation and adding safety nets to your tank. Through the use simple logic and switches you can easily automate anything from tank stand lights, fans or anything else that requires on/off actions. a. Method to be used: APEX fusion b. Required Equipment: APEX, break out box, requiredswitches(float, pressure, push) water ever you want to automate(for this example we will talk about adding lights to turn on when you open your stand door). c. Setup: Install magnetic switches on your stand doors, if you have 2 doors, switches can be wired in series to only consume 1 breakout box port. Enter APEX Fusion and find the breakout box switch port or ports(be aware these may be hidden in the unused port setion) click on the lock icon on your Fusion dashboard and drag the correct module widget to your dashboard. Clicking on the setting (gear icon) button you can use the drop downs to select the functions(such as If Door OPEN the ON) define the ON plug on your power bar and then plug lights into the proper port on the powerbar. Ensure you set the FALLBACK to OFF and Set to OFF, save all your configs and test! d. How to use: Simply open door and lights should come on, close and they should go off.
5. Algae Reactor: Reactors are becoming far more widely available commercially but is still a fun DIY project if you are the tinkering type! While there are many different way you can build and do this project we will cover just one particular methodology in this discussion. a. Method to be used: Repurposed media reactor b. Required Equipment: Off the shelf up flow media reactor like 2LF phosban reactor, waterproof LEDs(spectrum is debatable so research to see what you want to try, but common practice is more reds than whites), various plumbing bits and power head if manifold is not available. c. Setup: Using a hot glue gun, start by gluing the dead end of the LED strip to the base of the reactor, begin to wrap the LEDs in a spiral manner up the reactor. Glue every couple inches and try to keep the gap to around an inch and even all the way up. Once you get to the finish the wrap along the op edge and attach your end plug and seal with shrink wrap. Plug in and test to ensure your LEDs work properly, if lights are too intense a dimmer can be put in line and if you are extra techie you could make them dimmable through a voltage regulator module attached to your 0-10V port on your controller(this is too advanced for this discussion). At a basic level you can put LED plug on timer or configure a plug on your controller to simply turn on and off on a schedule. d. How to Use: Plumb reactor to power head or manifold, ensure to add an inline valve to adjust flow to get turnover rate dialed in. Add water to reactor(remember to have fresh salt water ready for this), add your seed macro to reactor, plug LEDs into controller or timer and turn on pump or open manifold to start flow. Monitor growth and adjust flow and or lighting as needed until you see solid growth. Be sure to check regularly and empty as needed.

News: Rachel: There have been more than 150 great white shark sightings since June off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a popular East Coast vacation spot, according to scientists. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's sharktivity app indicates that there have been more that 161 shark sightings off the coast of Massachusetts since June 1. The same shark can be spotted multiple times, scientists note.
This summer, however, did create something of a perfect stormwarming oceans attract both sharks and beach goers, and something does need to be done. Instead of killing more sharks, though, repelling them seems to be a much smarter idea.
That's where a company called Surf Safe comes in. For around $400, a guy named Dave Smith will sell you a simple device that you can install on your surfboard that might just prevent an attack. https://nbcnews.to/2MQ2ilw https://bit.ly/2MaC2CK
Peter: The scourge of plastic in our oceans has received lot of publicity in recent years, especially in the UK where TV documentaries (notably the Blue Planet series) have brought the issue into the nation's homes. It seems the country is doing well in saying no' to one of the major culprits, the disposable plastic bag.
With the amount of plastic entering the oceans estimated at a worrying 8 million tons, any news story that shows a bit of good news is very welcome. The British press is reporting that plastic bag use has halved within a year, according to usage at major supermarkets. https://bit.ly/33kZDWL

Jeremy- Sea and Reef has just released the 11th designer longfin clownfish. The new fish is a longfin version of the very popular Snow Storm Clownfish. As Manny aquarists know, longfin clownfish are not new to the hobby, but Sea & Reef's new Longfin Clownfish have a much different look to them. Their longfin clownfish have long flowing fins with a rounded, more even outlines. This sets them apart from the typical longfin strain that display jagged, stiff fins with uneven edges that are often observed. Marine Biologist, Soren Hansen, observed with great excitement the very first batch of Longfin Mocha Storm Clownfish as they went through metamorphosis and grew their beautiful, even-edged fins. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy169

The effort to minimize the impact of coral predators, pathogens and parasites is necessary for optimal growth. We are going to discuss the Acropora coral-eating polyclad flatworm (AEFW), which feeds on wild and cultivated Acropora species. Recent studies have found the presence of AEFW in wild Acropora colonies, new studies are taking place on the possible affects. The inadvertent introduction of this pest into our reef tanks can lead to the rapid death of coral colonies.
We will discuss treatment of infested corals, the flatworm's life cycle, how to disrupt said life cycle, and how temperature can affect your treatment plan. We have outlined a few plans that can help. It is good amount of work but it is worth it to save your Acros!
Great Article to check out on these pests - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2019.00524/full

News:
Jeremy: Although the nation of Wakanda exists only in the MCU as the home of Black Panther, researchers believe they have found a version of it underwater. And here, 260 feet below the surface in secretive reefs, the warriors accented with vibrant purple are FISH. Previously unknown, the fish species lives in dark coral reefs, called "Twilight Zone" reefs, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania. The fish are known as fairy wrasses. Their scales are so deeply pigmented that the deep purple remains even during the preservation process, when color is usually lost. The fish were discovered by scientists participating in the California Academy of Sciences' Hope for Reefs initiative, which aims to research and restore coral reef systems. - http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy71 R2R thread - http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy70-1
Peter: Octopus, squid and cuttlefish -- collectively known as cephalopods -- have strange, massive, distributed brains. What do they do with all that neural power? Dive into the ocean with marine biologist Roger Hanlon, who shares astonishing footage of the camouflaging abilities of cephalopods, which can change their skin color and texture in a flash. Learn how their smart skin, and their ability to deploy it in sophisticated ways, could be evidence of an alternative form of intelligence -- and how it could lead to breakthroughs in AI, fabrics, cosmetics and beyond. - http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter70
Main Topic:
Ok so this is a really interesting topic that there aren't many articles on. The question at hand is, can natural sunlight be used in a reef tank? Well, we know that it works in nature, right? So why not your system, why is sunlight (direct or indirect) just an algae outbreak waiting to happen? Isn't the sun what we are trying to emulate? This week we will cover all of these questions and shed some light on this subject!

News:
Jeremy: Shifting Reefs. Coral reefs are retreating from equatorial waters and establishing new reefs in more temperate regions, according to new research in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series. The researchers found that the number of young corals on tropical reefs has declined by 85 percent -- and doubled on subtropical reefs -- during the last four decades. - http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy70
Peter: Peter fills us in on the dismal state of affairs hey found while snorkeling in the BVI.
Main Topic: Stay Salty but.... Don't be Salty! Salt mixes are likely one of the most hotly debated subjects in our hobby. Everyone has a favorite that is simply the best and there are plenty of Haters out there as well. This week we are going to talk a bit about Salt. We are not going to suggest what is the best fit for you but rather talk about mixes in general, the parameters that several companies advertise, ideal parameters, mixing protocols and tips on making the right choice for your system!

Main Topic: Leather coral are hardy, attractive, fairly quick growing and often one of the first coral that Reefers have success with. There are three major genus that are found in the hobby and many species for each genus. An interesting thing we have noticed is that these coral are often considered a beginner coral due to their forgiving nature and avoided by many beginner reefers that are moving up to the next level of knowledge. However, leathers often make a re-appearance in well-developed advanced reef tanks. A huge toadstool in a large reef tank can really add to the balance of the system with visually impactful counterbalance and make the display more accessible to a larger audience for appreciation.

News: Jeremy: Cryptobenthic fish may be the secret driving force of the world's coral reefs. A recent study out of Simon Fraiser University published in The Atlantic showed that these fish are extremely good at dying... and repopulating. One amazing example is the pygmy goby that crams its entire lifespan into just two-months (the shortest of any backboned animal). - http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy64

Main Topic: This week we are going to discuss three species of fish that are very popular in the hobby. There is often some confusion about these fish. Are they related, part of the same family, ect.? There are even a few misnomers in trade / common names that lead directly to this confusion. While they all share some similar characteristics and traits, they are all from different Families. Let's go over a brief description of each Family, whether they are difficult to keep, tips for successful husbandry, popular varieties in the hobby and some other interesting information about each.

News: Jeremy- Hiding among the deep reefs of the Western Atlantic, associating with the rather well-known Sunshine Chromis (Chromis insolata) and Purple Chromis (C. scotti), and initially mistaken as a color morph of the Yellowtail Reeffish (Chromis enchrysurus), and even being found in the waters of Southern Florida, the Whitetail Reeffish is now officially recognized as a distinct species, Chromis vanbebberae. The Whitetail Reeffish was in the ocean all along, but it took genetic research to uncover its true identity. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy168
Peter- The Torq G2 is the newest modular media reactor from Nyos, bringing a wealth of useful new improvements. The original Nyos Torq was not the first modular media reactor with easily removable chambers but it was the first to have interchangeable reactor chambers of different sizes. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter168
Main Topic:
Alternative Ideas: The current state of things is a fun and interesting take that is easily embraced and loved by most of us, with a few common system types there is a huge variety of options for all levels of reef keepers. We generally see the following system types: Mixed Reef, Softie Reef and Zoa/LPS/SPS/Nem dominant style systems.
There are whole other worlds to explore, today we are going to discuss a few options available that are very close to the familiar.

Parrotfish eat coral and grind up the skeleton and excrete sand. How is this possible? A team of scientists subjected parrotfish beaks to a Berkeley X-ray machine known as the Advanced Light Source (ALS). The ALS can image organic crystals at a microscopic level. And the analysis revealed a unique woven structure in the crystals in a parrotfish's mouth that could open new frontiers for materials science, the researchers said. - http://bit.ly/2RGa3xT

News: Jeremy: 512-year old shark, oldest living vertebrate, found in the North Atlantic. Scientists believe this 18-foot Greenland Shark to be 512 years old and the oldest living vertebrate in the world. With the help of a mathematical model analyzing the lens and the cornea that linked size with age, researchers found a way to predict age. The method to discover the age of the animal was determined last year. - http://bit.ly/2Fwo5LW

Tip of the Week: It's getting to be one of those times of year where storms are a raging and power outages can happen. Have a contingency plan! A generator or battery backup can be a real lifesaver. Blankets or some type of insulation to wrap around your tank can help to keep temp up a bit. Temperature and gas exchange are the most important things to keep stable during an outage, your tank can survive without lighting for 3-4 days without too much stress. On that note make sure to lower your lighting intensity for a day or two after a prolonged dark period, allowing your inhabitants to re-acclimate.
