World's coral faces second mass die-off : repost from NYT

Some scientists fear the Great Barrier Reef, a bleached section of which is seen here in April 2009, will sustain further damage this year as part of a worldwide trend.

 

By JUSTIN GILLIS

This year’s extreme heat is putting the world’s coral reefs under such severe stress that scientists fear widespread die-offs, endangering not only the richest ecosystems in the ocean but also fisheries that feed millions of people.

From Thailand to Texas, corals are reacting to the heat stress by bleaching, or shedding their color and going into survival mode.

SKiMZ new KONE skimmers

Singapore: "Skimz KONE’s conical-shape has distinct design advantages – the bubbles in the reaction chamber are forced to move vertically upward, resulting in natural foam formation to minimize bubble bursting. This natural foam formation of the bubbles reduces surface agitation, thus creating a gentle foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the reaction chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer.

SKIMZ’s latest design allows cleaned water to exit the protein skimmer chamber at its base where it is almost bubble-free. Precise adjustment of the water level within the skimmer body can now be easily achieved using the new Micro-adjustable Valve."

LumenAqua: POSED & get's a PRICE in SG

The new led from LumenAqua  is now out,  brilliantly posing and is now given a price:


PRICE:

OLED is the next big thing.

"OLEDs offer a completely new vision of lighting. Like LEDs, OLEDs are solid-state lighting devices that are extremely efficient light emitters – thus helping reduce the financial and environmental costs of lighting. Next to LEDs offering very high brightness in a compact shape, OLEDs emit light over an extended area. The illumination they produce is “calm”, glowing and diffuse, and non-glaring. The thin, flat nature of OLEDs makes it possible to create light sources of a wide variety of shapes and sizes."

Though  the fixture shown above is not designed for reef tank yet (however, the design is reef-ready).   One day this light is the benchmark for our lightning  needs - compact & light,  dimmable,   able to produce different spectrum, and it plugs straight to  AC power.   Now only if these thing will give us enough PAR and that would definitely end the life of LED.
