我们不敢相信十月几乎在我们身后！似乎今年只是在摇摆，我们只是想知道如何在炎热的夏天保持坦克凉爽。既然我们正在为储罐加热器添加冗余，我们正在抛弃一件温暖的毛衣，并发出了另一个星期五Smorgasbord的版本。我们喜欢模糊的棍棒，五颜六色的Zoanthids和令人惊叹的鱼，但猜猜是什么？低矮的海绵可能是礁石中最重要的生物之一。研究人员发现了所谓的“海绵循环”，该循环有助于喂养和促进珊瑚礁生态系统。您会发现，海绵不会使用礁石的食物来生长，而是利用能量来维持生命，但不断地散发出旧细胞，从而为珊瑚和其他生物创造了相当营养的食物来源。谈论回馈您的社区！

We love the Maker Economy and all the incredible designs that CNC machines brought to the hobby. Now that 3D printing is taking off, we are hoping to see some incredible things in the market. One possibility is now a reality — 3D printed sandstone reef. Move over aragarock — you’ve officially met your match. Dealing with the dying reef off the coast of Bahrain, a reef-restoration outfit Reef Arabia teamed up with some bright people to pioneer a new 3D printed reef unit made of non-toxic patented sandstone material. Two of these 3D printed reefs — weighing 1,100 pounds — were sunk off the coast of Bahrain last fall.

It always seems like we’ve got a story from sharks. The ancient beast that haunts the oceans (and our dreams) have done a lot for inspiring design. We got a kick out of this article about five designs that were inspired by sharks. Our personal favorite? The 1961 Mako Shark Corvette.

Last week we covered adrone program that mapped coral reefsand now we have some wonderful images of a 300-year-old coral living off the coast of American Samoa. As anyone who has tried to take a picture from above your aquariums can attest, the light reflecting off ripples makes it hard to make out what lies below the surface. To combat this, the team uses a technique called fluid lensing to digitally remove those distortions and sharpen the images. Now if we can only get that as a Photoshop plugin.
