16 is a mind-numbing number when I first saw it. The fight is definitely on.
The 26th Hawai'i Senate legislature has started off 2012 with SIXTEEN new measures seeking the regulation or total ban of the aquarium trade. 16...
Ah. I just noticed the "w" in the part number of the section title. Wow! So I wonder what the 90 degree optic would look like :o
I believe the unit tested was 60 degree optics, and I believe Sanjay tried to confirm with Orphek but didn't get a clear response. The test results...
Sanjay doesn't offer personal opinions, only the hard data. This is true dating back to his metal halide tests. These are not reviews of units...
Yeah. Narrow optics = high PAR numbers but over limited distribution. The Radion's numbers don't look great until you factor in how even and wide...

Ret Talbot (Senior Editor for CORAL Magazine) wrote an important piece for Advanced Aquarist that I believe every conscientious aquarist should read:...
Teddy Bear Crabs aren't reef safe. They aren't terribly destructive, but they can prey on small hermits, snails, and sleeping fish (rarely corals...

Man, forgot you were going, Matt. Would've been nice to meet. Nice meeting you in person Greg :D
Here's the kicker. What funds enforcement and management? The revenue comes from licenses and taxes, both of which disappear with a ban. A ban is...
Well, science is a continual work in progress. With what we currently know, fishery management can yield sustainable yields for at least some...
When you can legally catch in open waters, there is less incentive to poach protected waters. How is this not a deterrent? Underreporting is...
The key point of the article is that yellow tangs flourish while fishing increases. It says so right there in the title ;) What the article says is...
This is why there are catch limits and licensing. You deter poaching by limiting the number of fish you can remove regardless of where they come...
Fishery v fish population is not a zero sum game. You can actually maintain (or even increase fish population, as is the case with yellow tangs)...
The point is complete bans are not necessary for sustainable management. Science/empirical data has told us this many times over, but the...
There have been multiple attempts to shut down Hawaii's aquarium fishery this year alone, with fears that anti-trade activists may one day succeed...
Ah! You're so on top of things :)
