The global seas nutrient cycle: a better understanding of its application in aquariums

The earth surface is 71% covered by salt water and as we all know, between the parallels above and below the equator up to the 23 °26 ‘we have the greatest presence of coral structures and all the closely related organisms.
Palytoxin and Palythoa in the aquarium: what are the risks and how to avoid them
Palythoa cf. toxica
Introduction by Danilo Ronchi: Massimo Morpurgo, biologist, aquarium curator at the Natural Science Museum of Bolzano, talks to us about palytoxin: cures, remedies and problems that they can cause to those who come in contact with it. Massimo has been one of the main researchers in Italy who studied this intoxication phenomenon. Let’s now give the floor to Massimo Morpurgo.

La Tridacna… da vicino – inside Tridacna
Quanto possono essere belle le Tridacne?
Io ne ho due, sono due Maxime. Una ha più di 6 anni, mentre l’altra ne ha quasi uno.
Questa è quella più anziana che si merita la vetrina 🙂
Mentre questa è la più giovane
ma non perdetevi questa vista… letteralmente DENTRO LA TRIDACNA
How beautiful are giant clams? I love, as I love so many reef organisms.
In the images above you can see my 2 Tridacna Maxima. The first is the oldest, more than 6 years now, and the other is about one years old now.
And the last image I think is amazing! INSIDE TRIDACNA.
