Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995 This is a new development. Read the story Anybody out there with new data from a good source post it here.

that is a great idea

these guys are scary.

Has anyone used this stuff. Pond Foam. reef central thread I have seen a few threads where they say dont use GREAT STUFF but instead use POND FOAM. I am planning a new reef system and I have seen a few tanks with this stuff. I am impressed with the look and am thinking about trying kind of project.

I have been blessed to be able to dive all over the world and the damage from sewage is bad most places that are near tourist areas. One of the best cared for sites is in Israel, on the red sea. They take all sewage and process it to recover all of the water for argri use. then most of the solid waste is used for fuel in power plants or as fertilizer in non food crops, ie sawgrass used for fuel. They get no pollution in the reefs and they use all waste for profit. we could help many of the third world countries with the same tech but in the past most on the leaders just take our money and put it in personal swiss accounts. In order to help we would have to build the plants then support it with benchmarks that money only keeps coming if the plant keeps working. I don't know if we have that kind of political will now days

I am all behind the 100% concept. There is a small group out here in WA that are all about fragging. they have a few guys who have 250 plus species. I think we should all propagate and if we could grow enough the Gov should have some kind of grant to anyone who could return coral to US south pacific reefs. It makes as much or more sense as some of the other (pork) stuff we spend money on.

Merry Christmas everybody. I just bought a deltec and I am building a hob fuge I will post pics when its finished. refuge will hang on back and it's top is 2 inch above the water level of the main tank. small powerhead pumps it into bottom of one end of refuge, water flows 20 in across and then a small overflow drains it back into main tank. I built one 12 years ago and it was not that hard. my plan is 20 in long, 13 in deep and 5 in wide. LED lighting. some mud and sand mixed in fuge with some good macro algae. bought scrap plastic sheet (1/4 inch thick) today for $20 will start next month.

I can't have a sump below because of the placement. I could build the refuge without much stress and and buy a good HOB Skimmer. I have almost always have had big systems so I don't know a lot about small skimmers. What is the best HOB skimmer Cost no object.

I am putting a 40 gal reef tank bedside and this has been recommend to me. EcoSystem Pro Series Hang on with CPR skimmer Has anyone here used one? Does anyone here know anyone that has used one? If so how well did it work? they are not a lot of money ($400) but I don't want another piece of useless aquaria junk in storage.

Ok eric here is where you jump the tracks You Say "About 2-5% of the scientists are not on board" yet we know that the so called majority has suppressed any data that did not support the AGW Theory. so that Number is tainted because the AGW mafia has made anyone who does not go along a pariah. In the current environment if you don't agree you can't get published, Read the emails They talk openly about suppression of all who don't agree, and the suppression of all data or worse the tricking of their own data when it does not support the theory. You also say "One cannot expect the average person to have access to, read, understand, or critique overwhelming consensus of a diverse global scientific community" well I am not the average person. but one thing I do understand is the people who are behind the original findings that AGW comes have admitted to lying, data adjustment (more Lying), suppression of all who don't agree (scaring others into lying) and now losing all of the data so they can't be proven as liars The very data that eric uses in his article comes from the pool of data that was lost and can't be backed up with proof. Give us better Eric

check this video out

Lets be fair to Eric I believe he has a real world view because of the time he has spent on the reefs. It may be colored (like most in the science world) by the people who he draws his research data from. I have met him many times and he is a true conservationist who does not have a political agenda, he just wants to save the reefs, I for one respect him for that. But he draws from the same fountain of tainted data and theory that is now suspect. Like many he now has the struggle of judging the data and finding out what is true and what is junk. I want someone like him (with real goals) to be forced to find the truth. I believe that as the whole science world goes on to figure this out, We want people like Eric to be involved.
