Part Three - See The Weeds
After numerous brain numbing hours I have finally managed to complete part three of "A Philippine Fringing Reef & The Reef Aquarium" detailing the Macroalgae and their subtidal habitat. If this does not convince everyone to set up a Macroalgae refugium, then nothing will....lol
A Philippine Fringing Reef & The Reef Aquarium - Part Three Hope it is of use. Chuck

During the dry, cloudless and thus warmer season the average surface temperature is 32°C (89°F). The wet, cloudy and thus cooler season averages a surface temperature of 28°C (82°F).
Average temp of 89 during warm and 82 during cool...

Yup, and out on the deeper coral reefs the yearly average is right around 82 (80 during the monsoon season, 84 during the dry season).

fantastic articles and reading. Much of this reminds me of the readings of Walter Adey and Karen Loveland's Dynamic Aquarium. A great book. Your aricles are quite informative and I like the idea of using algae as a nutrient exporter. I have used a scrubber unit as I am fortunate enough to live about 1 15 minute from Inland Aquatics which you mentioned in one of your articles. i admit that there is much more diversity of life using the scrubber. I will return to read more.

Staggering in it's scope and complexity. There is a statment in the conclusion that reads, one can make a career out of any one of these elements, and boy do I believe it.
What a wonderful work! An amazing article. And I feel deep gratitude that you chose to share this work online, without compensation. Super nice work! Excellent presentation. It seems like a chapter from a college level marine biology book. Please continue your research. One can easily see that this is a passion of yours. Thanks Aaron
