#zonation

Bio-geographic and geo-morphologic horizontal zonation down the slope of the mountain facing the sea. We have a relatively verdant segment on the upper portions of the flank, then a completely sterile zone of tight sand, small stones and light brown rubble, followed then by an overtly rocky portion, and then finally the soft, loose seashore sands down below.

When I am asked which corals are the easiest for beginners, I usually nominate the fox coral, Nemenzophyllia turbida; cabbage coral, Sinularia brassica; bubble coral, Plerogyra and Physogyra; and the ubiquitous Discosoma 'shrooms'. All of these are very hardy to situations that novices are likely to encounter, and do fine when the nitrate and dissolved organics levels, are as expected in a 'fish only' aquarium, as opposed to what people expect of a 'true' reef tank. Corals are not necessarily more difficult to care for than are fishes, but most require correct lighting, and all need sufficient flow to bring these sessile creatures food, and let them void their wastes. None of the above corals are extremely demanding of either parameter.

Different corals extract different resources from the ambient water, at different rates as befits their biology. Thus fast growing colonial and clonal species, may demand or prefer the dosing of additives to their water. If and when the aquarist feels competent to handle dosings, he or she may also consider Zoanthus or 'zoas', which appreciate iodine, or despite misinformation, the long polyp or pom pom morphs of Goniopora, which are dependant upon magnesium.

Needless to say, there is less need for dosing additives, when the water volume is large relative to the biomass of corals. Some common sense is as useful as is knowledge of coral biology. But it is is worth bearing in mind where corals come from on the reef and nearby, the phenomenon called zonation. Intertidal corals, and those from turbid lagoons, are naturally the easiest to care for, because these environments experience variations in temperature, salinity, and wavelengths of light, the latter being due to turbidity - it pays to study corals, before choosing corals.

Where there is lower flow on the reef, there are also more dissolved organics, available as a nutrient supply in the water. This is in fact beneficial to those coral species that are adapted to these environments, and they do not fare so well in crystal clear, well filtered and excessively skimmed water. Indeed it is helpful in the aquarium, when replicating such biotopes and microhabitats, to calculate the bioload of fishes, as it would in a fish only system. The flow should gently ruffle the corals without too much disturbance, and the lighting need not be too intense per tank depth, though its spectrum should of course lean to blue and be relatively low on red.

Note the marked zonation of life on the slanting rocks - cream colored barnacles on the upper portions while green seaweed covers the lower flanks, apparently the seaweed less resistant to desiccation, while the barnacle can simply close up their cones at low tide!! Furthermore the water molecule needs to be broken up to manufacture glucose in the act of photosynthesis, and the higher periods of submergence that a occupation of the lower sectors allows would raise the seaweed’s productivity.Visakhapatnam, RK Beach, February 10, 2020.

Zo's Commentary on Affleck/Maher argument over Islam, Alfonzo Rachel on Zonation Ben Affleck is such an arrogant, ignorant, loud-mouthed loser. One very good reason why brain-dead movie actors should just shut their mouths about anything outside of the abysmally bad movies they are in.

Liberals Distorting Bible to Advance Their Political Agenda, Alfonzo Rachel on 'Zonation'

I could listen to this guy all day. 'Zo' is very intelligent and articulate and right on the money on most things. I disagree with his pro-gun proliferation positions expressed in other videos, but they are reasonably thought out and respectfully given. Click HERE for more great 'Zonation' videos!
