Who Will Win The Prize???

Q 17:Seeing the last fish ID was a bit too easy, here's another. I've posted this picture here in the past. Name this fish.
A:Bonefish

Now tell me how you knew that was a bonefish? I'm really under estimating you guys! Tell me how you clean it now?
Good job!

I'm an avid fly fisherman and for the last 30 years I've dreamed of having the chance to catch them. A 100 pound tarpon on a fly would be pretty sick also.

Haha!! Come to the Bahamas and we'll go bonefishing off of the beach. Best place to catch them!

Question #18- Anthony Calfo feels that chaeto grows best under what conditions?

tumbling in a refugium **edit - as a small ball tumbling in the refugium**

Haha!! Yea, that's too much snow LOL!! You'd be wearing shorts here in the winter


New question is up. You will have to dig deep for this one.

I added a second part to the question after submitting it which I guess you didn't get a chance to see going by your quote as it isn't there. You still get the point as he likes to have a small ball tumbling. For an extra point, first one that comes back with why he likes it this way.

Chaetomorpha gets his vote as one of the best all around species for vegetable filtration/fuges because it's good for moderate to strong nutrient export via veg filtration and yields strong pod production, lower lighting is okay, and few fishes will eat it.

Close, but there is something else he says about it tumbling. He prefers the ball to tumble rather than sit stationary for 2 certain reasons.

a non tumbling ball of cheato fills with detritus and the bottom dosen't get any light therefor not growing, in order to have nutrient export one must actually remove some cheato from the fuge and sell/donate/chuck it out

More on target which answered the question. He rathers it tumble so all sides can receive light!! One point for sasquatch on the potty!

For culturing either genera is to insure strong enough waterflow in an open tank (keep no rocks or other objects on the tank bottom) so that the algae colonies grow in a constantly tumbling ball! This can be achieved or enhanced by sealing a small lip of glass or acrylic 5-8 cm wide just below the water surface (the length of the aquarium side wall) where the refugiums feed water jets into the tank. Thus, the incoming water is diffused along that slightly submerged lip and is forced to shoot across the tank surface, rather than at a deeper angle underneath. This causes a circular/rolling current of water (like an eddy in a swimming pool) to flow across the top of the tank, down the far side-wall and underneath across the bottom before coming back up again. A small starter colony of Chaetomorpha or Gracilaria will then begin to grow in a symmetrical ball and enjoy not only the benefit of evenly distributed water flow, but also the cyclic exposure of all parts of the colony to the bright light as the surface as it tumbles around!

YEAY! could you spare a square?

 

[Krish]

VERY CLOSE RACE!!! 1 point seperating charlypooh and scampy. It all comes down to the last 2 questions!! Charlypooh gets one more right and game over.

 

[Sasquatch]

whoa! you can't just stop! I demand a rematch!

 

[Krish]

Umm...You're just a tab bit late to the game.:lol: You'll have to catch the next game from the start! LOL!!

 

[Sasquatch]

ah, so there will be another? lock up your daughters I haz skillzs
