CORAL Video: Solomon Islands Reefs

Matt, thank you for supplying the links. I will most definitely read them carefully. Dan, I’m sorry if my comments got under your skin. Trust that I will follow this story attentively. (Also, I suspect that we both voted for same candidate and, even if we didn’t, I love you just the same.)Rob says:

I think that this is the right time to invest in more and better ways to breed marine fish. Would be great to someday have captive bred marine fish available for all of the popular species of fish currently being collected. I for one would love to see the day when no marine fish are caught in the wild and only captive bred fish are available and necessary for the aquarium hobby. Our oceans are already suffering in a huge way and many coral reefs are already at the brink of devastation. We need to find ways to repair our oceans and increase the types and availability of captive bred marine fish.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:

The idea is to have the roots absorb nutrients from the water to purify, I understand.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:
