Coral Reef
How do I determine the biodiversity of a coral reef?
I want to do a survey of the biodiversity of a coral reef (coral species only). I am thinking of using 1m^2 quadrants and simply identifying and counting species. Any tips? How do I analyze this data?
I would use interrupted belt transects or quadrats. If you use quadrats though, you need to be sure you aren't biasing for certain types.
You should do more than count species, but also determine abundances. Diversity is more than just presence & absence, but also how rich the diversity is. In [...] Continue Reading...

Fish Tank Heater
What could I use to warm my fish tank instead of a heater for fish?
My fish tank is really cold, but I'm not allowed to buy a fish tank heater. Is there anything I could use as an alternative?
Is there anything made for fish that I could put inside instead of a heater to make it warm?
I have mollies, I don't know what the temperature is, and my dad doesn't want to spend money on a heater. >___>
If your fish tank has lights in the hood, this will help raise the water temperature. If it does not, [...] Continue Reading...

External Aquarium
My 400gal saltwater aquarium needs two external sump pumps. What are the best pumps for a reasonable price?
The sump has two outlets for connecting pumps and I am only running one dolphin pump currently. I want to buy two new proper pumps that can push the water up about six feet of piping into the tank with a minimum combined flow rate of 1100gph.
I run Pentair Rainbow Lifegard Quiet One pumps (two) on my 185 and am happy with them. I'm assuming that there is six feet of head per pump. Based on this to get [...] Continue Reading...

Java Fern Live
Why would putting a live java fern in my tank kill all of my guppies?
I recently purchased a couple of java ferns for my fish tank and within 12 hours, all of my guppies were dead. I ran the filter and did a partial water change, added Stress Coat, and bought more guppies, who again died with in 12 hours. What gives?
Take a sample of the water to your fish store to have them test it and then you can see if the water is bad or something. By chance did yo spray anything in the [...] Continue Reading...
