Fluidized Oolitic Aragonite. As it dissolves it releases carbonate to buffer the pH, as well as feeds the filter bacteria, Calcium to increase the General hardness, and many trace elements found in ocean water. This is one of my most cherished techniques. A little flowing water and you have a win win win, good cheap and easy. My water is rain/snow melt river water so the pH and hardness are always lacking. #goldfishgarageprotip #goldfishkeepers #goldfishunion #goldfishbreeder #aquaculture #fluidizedbed #fluidizedsand

Pondovac 5! Craigslist score. Same old suction hose but with a 32 foot high quality discharge hose that can pump up hill! 48 feet of reach. This one is the new garage vac. #pondovac5 #pondovac The powerful PondoVac 5 Pond and pool vacuum allows for uninterrupted, full power cleaning of ponds and pools. Highly efficient suction depth of 7.5 ft. due to high performance 1800 W motor with optimized blade design. The suction pump runs simultaneously, with the integrated waste pump, which empties the container continuously during use. Larger wheels (6 in.) ensure stable movement through rough terrain as well as low-noise when in operation. On the outlet side, the PondoVac 5 has a plastic quick connect for a reliable and watertight seal, and easy removal for storage. Four different nozzle head options included for every pond and pool application: adjustable floor nozzle, string algae nozzle, crevice nozzle, and wide nozzle. The adjustable floor nozzle (2-10 mm) removes pond floor debris without vacuuming up gravel. The string algae nozzle separates and easily removes strands of string algae. The crevice nozzle suctions out pollutants between stones and plants with ease. The wide nozzle has rubber lips that permit trouble-free wet suctioning of residual water, or enables use in the household as a dry vacuum. Discharge set includes 32.8 ft. hose with connections and collection bag for coarse debris particles. Wastewater discharge allows you to simply dispose of the organic fertilizer into a flower bed or into the sewer. Hand regulator for adjusting the suction power, based on water depths. Larger particles such as pebbles or leaves are retained in the pre-filter bag. The zippered bag makes for easy emptying. Can be used for cleaning ponds and pools, as well as a wet vacuum around the home. Suction capacity up to 2100 GPH.

Upgrading my Reverse Osmosis filters at work. Currently have 7x 900 gallon per day systems that I’ve kept running for 19 years... replacing them with two state of the art 14,000 gallon per day systems with all the bells and whistles. Best part is I got the university infrastructure people to pay for them and maintain them! Currently the systems turn on with float switches. The many machines will simply be replaced with feed lines. To automate the fill lines to the fish systems I’ll simply install this 304 stainless actuated ball valve and plug it into the piggyback plug of the float switch. Water drops, valve opens, tank fills valve closes. Simple. #aquacultureengineering #aquaculture #zebrafishaquaculture #zebrafish #labfish

Published! The Biological Resources of Model Organisms by CRC press. Summary: This book discusses 14 model organisms and are used by thousands of researchers, teachers, and students each year in laboratories and classrooms, around the globe. Though acknowledged in innumerable scientific journal articles, little is generally known about the origin of these collections, how the organisms contained within them have been acquired, and how they are maintained and distributed. While some collections such as Drosophila have long histories others, such as the collection of Brachionus, are relatively new. They vary greatly in size. Yet, all have contributed and are continuing to contribute to global research efforts in many areas of scientific research as diverse as tissue regeneration, skin cancer, evolution, water purity, gene function, and hundreds of others. In addition to providing the raw materials for national and international research programs, these collections also provide educational tools used by colleges and high schools. The chapters in this book attempt to provide a brief look at the individual organisms, how they came to be accepted as model organisms, the history of the individual collections, examples of how the organisms have been and are being used in scientific research, and a description of the facilities and procedures used to maintain them. Features: • Provides an in-depth look at the collections of 14 model organisms that have enabled innumerable scientific breakthroughs over decades, and that continue to do so. • Includes detailed descriptions of the operating procedures used for the maintenance of each model organism collection. • Discusses the holdings of the collections of model organisms and its relevance to past, current and future scientific research. • Written by the leaders in the field of the management of model organisms. #zebrafish #labfish #zebradanio #daniorerio #modelorganism
