Guest Speaker Jake Adams


Jake's Bio: Jake Adams is a marine scientist who recently moved back to the Denver area until he returns to grad school. Jake has researched coral spawning in the Carribean, has presented at IMAC, and has published a series of Advanced Aquarist articles about the importance of water flow for corals. He is an avid coral photographer, he produces podcasts on various reef aquarium topics and he features most of his endeavours on his website www.coralite.net

Here is an abstract from Jake on his talk:
Aquarists often describe the water motion in their reef aquariums in terms of the rate of turnover. Since flow speed is the critical measure for determining the rate of gas exchange, turnover rate does little to convey the suitability of the available water motion. Just shy of trying to kick start a paradigm shift in how we think about water motion for the reef aquarium, my presentation will attempt to make junior oceanographers out of all the reefers who attend. I will present a handful of studies of coral ecology which demonstrate that water flow is more important than light. I will continue with a crash course on fluid dynamics and how it can help us understand how water moves and how water motion helps our corals to "breathe" better. I will conclude the presentation by presenting a few ways aquarists can get the most water motion out of their current equipment simply by applying some of the principles of fluid dynamics. Just as aquarium lighting has received a much attention in recent years, so too must we start to reconsider how the water movement of our aquariums translates into water motion which is relevant and suitable for coral health.

If anyone is still trying to decide whether to go to Rockford Frag Fest. There is a few updates to the Rockford Reefers web site you might want to take a look at.

If the $10,000 of raffle items isn't enough, then Grand Prize Raffle item just might put you over the "edge"
