mrwheeling Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My marine biology class starts in a week and I have one set of coral we will be doing calculations on comparing growth rates. Right now I have two species of Gorgonian. If anyone is doing any clippings or have any millis or zoos or anything good for growth rate comparison and want to donate them let me know. Roger said he'd pick anything up for me at the meeting. I'd like to put the results up online, or start a blog so you can see how things are going. I'm even up for any other experiments you might have in mind. Let me know. Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaticEngineer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Not quite corals, but if your class wants to grow out any Oregon caught tigriopus californicus I have a bunch of colonys that have been going since last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaticEngineer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I dont know if your class is interested in any native marine life, but I have several colonies of Oregon caught tigriopus californicus that I've been growing out since last summer. Lots of other native coldwater stuff too, but the tigriopus dont need anything but room temp water and some nori to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhh it's okay Stew you can call them Tigger pods just don't post it in the title....(laugh). Mr S will be at the meeting next weekend so if someone can get them to us next Saturday I will be happy to pass along the Tigger pods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a cold water system down here. I had one up in seattle when I taught there. I think it was a 300 gallon setup. It was beautiful. We even had an octopus in it!

I got a Giant Pacific Octopus right now I'll try and get a 2 liter of tigs to someone going to the meeting for you guys, I figured they are something you can measure growth in as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nice donations. Jody you can mail the stuff to me for Robbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwheeling Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 if your looking for anything in particular let me know happy to ship to Roger or directly to you I'm not picky, something that grows quickly would be good as my class only goes for about five months. Maybe some zoos or millipora's. Something that is easily fragable might be cool too so that later on I can teach the kids about fragging. Thanks again for your support! I'm super excited to get the kids going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
