New 3reef Skins:

Tony Vargas put it this way... there are 800+ varieties of stony corals in the world, over 300 are at the Great Barrier Reef, but over 600 are in the Philippines. "So, if you want to see stony corals, you go to the Philippines!" That is exactly what Tony did. Tony went to Apo Reef, the second-largest contiguous reef in the world at 13 square miles. Subsequent dives were at Tubbataha atoll reef, a World Heritage Site covering 374 square miles. Both of these reefs are designated as protected parks and well managed. According to Tony, nobody gets in and out without them knowing. That is great to hear as not long ago, all news seemed to be about cyanide water bottles and dynamite. The following photos show otherwise. Enjoy.

I found myself camped out at the Digital Aquatics Reef-A-Palooza booth for some time taking in the Archon - another crazy powerful aquarium controller on the way with a quad-core Linux processor, 4GB memory and built-in no-need-to-buy-a-module WiFi. You have to like it. The Archon is strong in the usual controller way with a six port switch box, 4 PWM dimming ports, 4 module ports and pH probe, etc. But it is all that power along with the no-holds-barred open-source attitude - down to the CSS of the web app - that gives the Archon some real punch. And forget 7 day history limits, you could keep a years worth of data simply with a cheapo memory stick. Coming soon for $549.
