Colleagues, an idea has arisen to create a guide to marine life. To start, at least about invertebrates. A guide like this one. All that is needed from those interested (if there are any) is photos. Authorship will be guaranteed. It would also be good to determine which parameters of care are essential and need to be specified. Photos should be 800x800.

Brandi

Off-topic. Not a bad idea... Maybe there will be less of the type "I don't know" and "that stuff" or something like that...

Tami

Provided that the idea is supported. I can only technically make all of this happen.

Michelle5859

The idea is good, provided that most of the forum takes an active part; we can start with the most common ones in marine aquariums, and then go from there...

Bonnie

Odessa, so start.

Devon107

We have tried several times, but nothing has changed. We need an inspirational leader and project manager, but there is none. Best regards, .

Angela7060

Well, maybe they tried poorly?

John3165

They tried something like this, but only through SPs. It's a good thing, I think you'll manage.

Vanessa

Let's chew it over - we'll see. .................. The acropolises there are good. Can we get these photos?

Phyllis

Oleg - I'm not talking about the fact - you need to work on the fact for a specific moderator. Just the topic "I want more" and the warning in "Before you ask a question" - first read there and ask there as well. There is one forum... if you don't read the topic for beginners and start posting - you get banned immediately - really, bans are rare, but the forum's activity starts to kick in - like, you shrimp - first read there, if you don't find the answer, then create a topic - too much reading??? then use the search.

Deborah2682

Somewhere like that. To be continued...

Andrea8397

From the experience of creating such FAQs, I can say that almost no one reads them. It's easier to create a new thread with a well-worn question than to read what has already been written.

Tracey

Just not in the U.S. Americans measure temperature in Fahrenheit, which is about 24-25°C.

Elizabeth

All this endeavor is unnecessary. Most of these species have not been seen in our aquariums for a long time.

Kayla7655

Like the whole forum ........ Everything has already been done a long time ago. And none of us have seen such aquariums. And how many books are there? ......

Tanner

So just take a look for yourself - this topic about intentions won't move from a dead point. By the way, there are few books, you can count them on one hand. The forum and topics about aquariums are one thing, but the interest in the catalog is greater among suppliers.

Laura9093

If everyone thinks along those lines, of course, nothing will change. But fortunately, not everyone thinks that way. Speaking of intentions, I once created a similar topic, only about creating a guide for freshwater plants; it now has about 300 species, and all the photos were provided by forum members. Are you suggesting that marine aquarium enthusiasts on the forum are less active? Well, let it be...

Brandy1134

Here's the situation. If we buy coral from an "Official" seller or purchase a frag from coral from an Official seller, the question of identification is eliminated - the seller will provide all the information. But what are the other options for getting corals into the aquarium? 1. Illegally grown live rocks. 2. Illegally imported. In this case, the only option is to post high-quality photos and hope for "help from the audience."

Sharon

Of course. I think the sellers will gladly provide photos, as there will be a copyright on them.

Sara4035

For some reason, these advantages of Sergey did not motivate for long.

Sarah5423

Well, you can do as you wish, but I will slowly get it done. Those who want to help are welcome.

John3142

So far it looks like this: If there is anything wrong with the taxonomy or names, please correct it. If any additional parameters need to be specified, it's not a problem.

Jeffrey6189

Current - it is necessary to periodically increase it to speed up the molting process. Breeding - ... Artificial - scalpel, quiet cuvette in SAMP - after a month, 30 sarcophagids. Adaptation - can take 1-3 weeks to stay closed after being placed in another aquarium with conditions different from their native ones. Like - should we throw out options for descriptions or just the descriptions themselves? Just options "from life" are also very useful, rather than just 0.5W/l...

Erin

Taxonomy. Gallery. Catalog.

Courtney

1. Taken from the "Reef Aquarium," the correction is accepted. 2. No, I don't have any photos; if you provide them, I'll replace them. ............... We need to think about the search.... In the catalog, you can search simply by name, without taxonomy. .......... I corrected the rest.

Curtis

It is possible, but: 1. A complete list of these groups is needed. 2. Can a species/genus belong to several groups at the same time? How many groups at most?

Dana4701

Added the group: Hard SPS Hard LPS Soft photosynthetic Soft non-photosynthetic Filtered (for sampling) by the conditions of maintenance

James3382

And someone like a photograph promised ....

Natasha7622

Decide for yourself who you are making this catalog for. If it's for the average person—like 99% of the forum, including myself—then I would recommend keeping this classification: LPS, SPS, soft, etc. I think it's simpler to leave the names in Latin. Latin is remembered clearly and without mistakes. Sometimes when you read names like "red-green-organic dragon coral," you can't help but be amazed. If it's for specialists, you can classify by types, etc. In my humble opinion, it clutters the site.

Andrew7823

Well, the colleagues from the forum asked to divide into groups....

Sydney

Of course Parazoanthus spp?

Thomas5021

Yes!

James8887

Who the hell is who? There are three names but only two photos.

Jeanne

Seryozha, everything is correct here. The author just duplicated the second title in Russian, but not the first one; it sounds something like: "Clove green polyps of Papua." Or something like that...

Stuart

You have taken on a challenging task! There is so much contradictory information about the content, confusion with names, etc. For example, the same Parazoanthus... in our aquarium, they are far from friendly. You can confidently correct it, as I am sure it's not just us...

Joseph1346

Nothing, it's easy to beat a father when you're in a group.

Mike

And someone said that I wouldn't find support among sailors. .................. I'll just keep quiet ......

Daniel9952

Do you need worms? Calcium, feather? Or just corals?

Joseph8842

Can I have a photo?

Nancy

Dear marine aquarium enthusiasts! It would be great if, when posting photos of invertebrates, you accompany them not only with the Latin name of the species but also use the full scientific terminology for it. For example: Order Corallimorpharia Family Discosoidae Discosoma spp. Discosoma cardinalis etc.

Nancy758

FOR NOW just corals, I can't handle everything at once.

Cynthia

You can use this one:

Nicole7268

We grew up to the record and started to sting it.

Joshua3019

Offtopic, next to them was Ksenia, they burned immediately... I didn't notice, and then it was too late... Above them hung SPS, I couldn't understand the problem, it was wilting... I removed the parazoanthus, everything went back to normal! So be vigilant!!!!

Pamela

Great!

Julie4738

take info from here too

Aaron6112

The latest version of the reference guide is more successful than your proposed one, as many do not know what the Zygneaceae family is. It would be easier to organize it by groups with pictures. I typed Euphyllia glabrescens into the search, and immediately the entire group of Euphyllia appeared, but otherwise, good luck finding what it relates to.

Diana7891

I opened the first one I found - Brierium Minimum aquarium length: 80 cm What kind of measurement is this? Will it not grow at a length of 79 cm? The volume measurement of aquariums for each type of coral is constantly present in various catalogs and, in my opinion, is somewhat absurd. This probably originated from the time when the concept of Nano did not exist, and the size was taken from nature. Something needs to be done about this...

Mark9853

And this is a question to the community (Riff aquarium) ............................. At the beginning of the topic, I asked to specify the data needed for the directory. Everyone remained silent, and I am definitely not a specialist. So I return the question to YOU: What data should be included in the directory? Let's get to work.

Eric5208

Tolya, could you write a description of Briarium? The beginning is already there.

Lori4746

Subclass Octocorallia Order Stolonia Family Briareidae Species Briareum asbaestinum (de Blainville, 1830)

Vincent

I'm not against it. Information can be presented in any form. There is a division into groups, and a filter can be enabled. The question is different - WHO will indicate which group each coral belongs to? More complete information can also be added (right now it simply doesn't exist, which is why it isn't displayed), again the same question - WHO will provide this information?

Brooke

Let's do it, but only with the exact name, preferably not ....... spp.

Christopher7213

I think it won't be a problem for sailors posting photos of corals to write the name and which group it belongs to, whether LPS or soft... as well as information about the current, lighting, and feeding based on their experience. Although I think you should have provided an approximate list of points that should be filled out as much as possible... and you would have added the rest.

Danielle8118

First, it would be good to define this very list... There is a list in the directory, let's add to it what everyone considers necessary.

Joshua8425

The more specialists, the more opinions, but everything is elementary simple: Type Class Order Family And, finally, species. Under this "header," you can gather signed photos of forum members, distribute them according to the order, and there you have it, a reference book. It seems, however, that this matter is indeed difficult... It’s better to dig into bourgeois websites...

John3142

Tolya, this is taxonomy; it was about which habitat parameters need to be specified. Like what kind of lighting, current, nutrition, I don't know what else. When I was making the plant guide, I consulted with I. Obolyshev and I. Sheremetyev.

Kristin

It's also easier than pie. Compressed information in a few words, I've mentioned this before. That's how A. Kochetov built his reference book in "The Aquarist's Handbook." Something like this: Heteractis aurora (pearl anemone) IP (Indo-Pacific) 30 cm D. Aquarium 100 cm L. (Min.) Bright lighting. Medium current. Aggressive. Kh-12, pH 8.2, T 26. Feeding: zooxanthellae, brine shrimp, squid, shrimp, mollusks, fish. I think it's not difficult for any serious marine enthusiast to write at least this amount of information. IMHO. This is quite enough for a reference book.

Stacy6866

Well, I have something like that. Just no size.

Angela

Well, it's not that important. The buyer himself, besides the manual, should figure out what to do when purchasing a fish tank if, for example, the size doesn't suit him.

Shelby3182

Wellsophyllia, who can tell me to which genus it belongs?

John828

Genus Trachyphyllia You can read more about it, for example, here:

Steven

Could you share some photos of corals?

Susan

Why not? I only know a few names of SPS... and the rest, please. Do I need to send them, or will you take the ones that fit the topic yourself?

Anthony7814

I don't care. I think my colleagues will help with the naming.
