Yeah I just got a superman and my sister gets er masters in genetics in 2 weeks, starts her new job in like a month, and I can set up a salt water tank in the lobby of the research lab in the hospital and as long as I keep it up, I can keep a 65g bow front there and perform any controlled experiments that I want. I'll take photos each day of the specimens and log everything as I go. I am wildly fascinated with this and I am even more curious as to how long this takes. If it takes a significant amount of time, then it surely deserves the extra amount of money being asked similar to an aged wine or whiskey or vintage piece. Regardless, if there is demand for little supply, then the market will dictate the proper amount. Not only will I be keeping an eye on color, but also my sister did courses in the Galapagos and can test it to see if its chemical make up changes at all.
It will be a long time before the tank is properly cycled, etc. I will keep you guys posted.
Obviously, Aaron, I am happy to trade you! :)
PS-- This isnt the only think I am testing for. Since having the reef tank, I have been 5 mos remission with psoriatic arthritis and scleroderma.. one a reactive arthritis most likely with genetic predispositions and scleroderma largely believed to be a genetic disease, but I believe to also be reactive and more influenced by environment than western medicine would lead people to believe. I am one of very few people that has been in remission with this disease twice.
