LOL!!! Actually I have been following, as this is a great thread to say the least, but now I want to know how it is coming along, thus the subscription. This is a great, and epic build.

Perhaps it’s time for some corals too
Here’s some pictures from the temporary Aquarium this week.

And one for @Lasse
The rotifers, if there’re any left, is in the two with bucket with lids, marked ROT1 and ROT2. Beneath the phytoplankton. If you want play with rotifers this weekend.

Oh, and the experiment tank is going well now. The summer is over and the temp is around 26,5 degrees, big change in the mood of the corals. They didn’t like it at 29 degrees..

My colleague working at the Temporary Aquarium today sent this. Stairway to heav... the new Aquarium! It’s not quite ready yet, but still a big step for us

For those not reading every post, the new Aquarium is underground and will be connected to the maritime museum (where the old Aquarium was located) by these stairs, plus an elevator. So we will still be one museum.

Edit. The walls and bricks to the left is not new, it’s the old building from 1933.

Here you can't have a stairway that long without a landing....

 

[GBRsouth]

You have to mount a lit candle on top of each reo bar! For the stairway to heaven feel!

the new Aquarium is underground

I have been with construction and start up of a large public aquarium before - David not - when this is over he will rename it to stairway to hell But I survive that - David will too

I just joined and this was the first thread I read (and am now following!), and what a treat to be allowed to participate in this adventure. Thank you so much for sharing!

I am learning about marine aquariums because I would like to start a Puget Sound biotope to house a couple of Rhamphocottus richardsonii, and am looking at kelp as the macro algae.

I am looking forward to a lot of studying!

I had to read up on Puget Sound. Wow! It's like our fjords but much much larger and with much more species. I get a bit jealous Some time I will sail along the coast of Seattle and Vancouver going north equipped with diving gear!

Also check out our friend @Silver Dollar and his cold water tanks too. He has a lot of great ideas for small marine temperate tanks.

Info on this thread and why I haven't posted in a while.

I've tried to follow the discussion on how certain people got treated/censured at R2R. For me and my employer equal treatment for all is fundamental. Unfortunately I can't find any discussions on R2R about the issue or answers from the staff on the issue. So until I know more on the issue I will wait to do updates here.

Exactly the reason I have been quiet on here.

I think that many of us European have a huge problem with that policy - me including. I have not stop writing but it must be a change in policy in this issue IMO. But for the moment - I wear my tiara with pride.

Definitely something that needs to be addressed by the forum officially. I love visiting this site, and both this thread and @najer 's are highlights for me. And I have gladly supported the site financially the last few years as well. I have found it to be an amazing, open, and welcoming community. Truly wonderful.

But if it is not that for everyone than that needs to change. I am not at all ok with supporting a community that is not welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

And to avoid hiding behind innuendo I am referring to instances where references to LGBTQ have been censored or shut down.

I have heard about the threads or comments being censored (2nd hand because they were removed, but from multiple people), but what if anything has been said about the actual policy?

I wasn't even aware this was/had gone on. I completely agree that equality is fundamental and wonder if this is why some others haven't been about much lately.

@Tristren knows where I went, I come back to keep up with certain journals.

Could someone elaborate for new members? If theres a ban on LGBTQ people expressing themselves Ill be deleting my account.
