    Philip Henry Gosse, The Aquarium

    It sounds like you are interested in the history of aquaria... I would recommend picking up a book called "The Ocean at Home: An Illustrated History of the Aquarium" by Bernd Brunner. Most library systems carry it, and it's a popular read. I have a copy sitting in front of me right now. You can...

    Philip Henry Gosse, The Aquarium

    And possibly worth every penny for its historical significance to the aqua community. If I could ever get my hands on a copy of it I would consider submitting it for republishing in a color softcover version. If there are any other individuals who might be interested in this project they are...

    Philip Henry Gosse, The Aquarium

    Hey ho! I'm doing research and I was looking for a copy of Gosse's, The Aquarium (1854). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Henry_Gosse I'm from the PNW, and I'd like to have a look at this book. But, I am having a hard time finding it via the library system, Amazon, and UW only has it...

    Fish facing left in photography GUIDELINE

    BWAHAHAHA! That's what I was thinking. My criticism of the guideline is that it promotes an environment of homogenous photography. The article was only a year old, and had been written by "experts". In an interest to abide by the TOS of promoting a positive discussion (and no bashing) I omitted...

    Fish facing left in photography GUIDELINE

    I recently read a poorly edited article which mentioned a guideline concerning aquarium photography, but gave no explanations as to WHY it should be so... The authors said that fish should (when possible) always be photographed from the left, and it was recommended that if the fish were...

    Hah. This old thread just popped up again! It's so interesting to see what people do. I thought I would join in. I'm a freelance copy/content editor. I'm also an agent for an independent publishing company called Hacker Friendly. We publish MAKE style books, and I've recently been roped into...

    Home made stands

    We built our stand and canopy from scratch in about 2 weeks. Nothing special... and we need better pictures. But, I thought I'd share too!

    MH or VHO

    We have halides, and we're experiencing some temperature issues. We lost an invert last night, but all the corals and everything are happy as clams -- but not really clams. *grin* I'm considering putting some fans into the sump, we also have a staggered halide/actnic cycle... and the halides...

    Wiki Commons and Photography Donations

    I'm currently donating 1-3 hours per week helping to populate Wikispecies with marine taxonomical navigation. This Sat. night I helped to flush out Montipora. It's not comprehensive, but it is a contribution. I was noticing the quality of images available through Wiki Commons. There are plenty...

    Tempered Glass/Chemical Strengthening

    Thanks Luke! That is informative! My interest in the research was finding out if chemically strengthened glass was practical and affordable compared to heat tempered glass. It appears as though it is not. However, I have not gotten any leads on places where this is done, and how much it actually...

    Well need some insight

    Yup, it sure would... maybe you could make a sleeve that is removable. You take it off at viewing time, and leave it there when you want the full display. I don't see how you could possibly get out of the algae cleaning issue... and an elongated tube which you can't remove is going to be a real...

    Well need some insight

    People have suggested electrical tape to keep the light out of the overflow hose. The hubby had a much more interesting idea involving my sewing skills and some elastic. He really hates adhesive residue and anything that could gunk up. :idea: Make a tube out of black fabric the exact length...

    Funky Acropora/Star Polyp Project - Art Design

    Well, word travels fast... It looks like my uncle, who lives in Port Townsend is very interested in this project. He's a noted sculptor, and has done some acrylic marine sculptures in the past. I was also tagged by a friend who likes to make submissions to the Erotic Art Festival here in...

    Funky Acropora/Star Polyp Project - Art Design

    Well, I said screw it... and decided to kick it up a notch. If I'm going to invest a year or more on a fully populated sculpture, I'm going to go all the way and add credibility to the design. I'm currently soliciting in several places for a professional sculptor (already with a name and...
