I think it's a must to have a section dedicated to public aquariums in mondo.Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of the most beautiful and popular of the world. In Italy we have some, surely the most famous, rich and fascinating is the Aquarium of Genoa. But if you were in the U.S., perhaps on the west coast, you could slip aa few miles south of San Francisco (beautiful!) and pay a visit to Monterey, a small quiet coastal village, motivated mainly by his own public aquarium, the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
During my honeymoon we are clearly past "by accident" ... joke, loved it to my wife, despite everything.
Worth a visit especially for the great vascona "final", very dark but very effective because of the huge fish in it and by the absence of any disturbing element. A tank simple, minimalist, but with a strong emotional impact.
And then the section JELLYFISH, dedicated to jellyfish. I do not think there is other in the world so rich and well made. For me it was truly an unforgettable experience, maybe because they are animals that are never seen in captivity and also from the truth is rather difficult and even dangerous to see a lot together. Interesting for those with children is the opportunity to participate in snorkeling with lots of mini-bottles and dry suit, the mini-bay within the aquarium. And 'the outside, is connected with the sea, but is accessible only to customers of' Monterey Aquarium.

The official website, however, this is beautiful and full of information on the species housed, but also on the activities in which the public aquarium is involved.

Digital Camera Mask: maybe you have put off the holidays in late August or early September ... or maybe you are planning a week in the Red Sea between October and November ... however you might be interested in a good diving mask with built-in camera.
I find it a brilliant idea, or rather an interesting product, because the idea is quite simple. The only flaw of this camera is not equipped with a flash and even has a connection to a torch applied to the mask, albeit small ...

Produced by Liquid Image has a resolution of 5 megapixels (2560 × 1920) and, with a USB port to transfer images to a PC, is used as a normal form and as a normal digital camera, which may also turn video with 640 × 480 and 18 to 25 frames per second, then calmly video suitable for use on the web but also watchable on TV.
It has 16 MB of internal memory but also a small slot that accepts microSD cards. It 's powered by 2 x "AA", namely AAA 1.5 volts and, although equipped with auto-off after 120 seconds of inactivity, I recommend using rechargeable batteries with good quality and at least 2000 mha.
Minimum Focusing Distance: 120 cm.
It is on sale at prices between 70 and 90 euros, several shops on the web, a very good price in my opinion, and is also found in electronics stores some airports ... many times you took a plane in this day.

2 years ago I tried a similar product, I wanted to buy the underwater case for my Canon powershot ... then I saw the price and I gave up.
In practice you can easily notice that there are hard cases for cameras less than 100 € and many of them are priced between 200 and 300 euros.
In practice cost as a good digital camera!
In the case of this diving mask with integrated digital camera talking about resistance up to 5 meters (on some sites it is also about 30 meters ... while on the official 15 FEET, which are actually about 5 mentri), then we are not level of 15-30 meters of hard cases on the market, but 5 meters is enough to snorkel the most people and especially beyond 5 meters is absolutely necessary to have auxiliary lights or powerful flashes of sunlight ... because it remains goose ...

I have no plans other holiday at the moment ... and I add UNFORTUNATELY, the limit on a skiing holiday and new years ... but I think of buying this product by next spring, or perhaps something even better if it were to hit the market in the meantime.

For a month of hatching eggs Nothobranchius korthausae red, fish of the family of Killi , I find myself with a dozen young specimens about 2 cm long. and in good condition. Bely Sliders there were already a few to hatch ... and those few have died in the first 2 weeks.
Approximately half of the colors has already clearly visible from a couple of days, so yesterday I transferred them from the pan of growth of 4 liters aquarium LAC from just under 40 liters, while keeping the filter off, temperature at 25 °, lights on for 6 hours a day and I will change by 20-30% a couple of times a week.

Theoretically should be more red, the body should be colored more or less like fins, perhaps a little 'less, now in vice is still gray with shades of blue. The fins are instead already reddish with the edge of that ventral visibly clear. Not quite as white as the photos ... but close.
