Hi Folks,
I need some volunteers who are willing to spend $150.
As many of you know I have been working for a number of years at determining the "materials" flow through an aquarium. This started 2 years ago with my Food and Additives Study to determine what was in what we added to our tanks.
I am presently publishing the results of my Tank Water Study (www.reefkeeping.com), on what is in our tanks.
The next logical step is to publish about what we export from our tanks.
I need volunteers for that next part of the project. I hope to send the materials off for analysis in about a month so if you are interested I need you to contact me soon. What I will need from you will be a sample of what you export - algae, skimmate, Xenia. For things like skimmate, it will have to be collected for a while to get enough for the sample, so we will have to start soon.
Each participant would contribute a sample of one type of export material.
The lab will be sending me the sample collection jars at the end of the week, and I will, hopefully, be sending them out to participants soon after that.
While some of the cost of the analysis has been met by the excess from a generous grant for my preceding study, I will still need participants to contribute a portion of the costs. The costs are dependent on the number of samples (the costs per sample drop significantly if we have more than 15 samples).
If you are interested in participating please contact me at [email protected].
I am planning on presenting these results at the MACNA in Dallas, and likely they will be published in Reefkeeping Magazine.
