[Subsea]

[QUOTE=Steve Tyree;25230359]Subsea,

Yeah we have a whole lot to learn. Some tools we needed were just invented this century. Cavecam. Etc. The big research in the sponge aspect of the reef dynamics have been done by a group in Amsterdam. Very impressed with their work. Was great to see some unbiased pure science. One of their interesting discoveries was the production of particulate matter from sponges. Basically shed sponge cells. Whole new dynamic to explore. Perfect sized particle for some pelagic copepods to eat.[/Q


I have always favored nutrient recycling over nutrient export unless my nutrient export is something that is favorable: ediable seaweed from a refugium, pods and corals that are removed and sold are all nutrient export.

I received your two ebooks and am really stoked on having NPS in my DT.
