High phosphate uptake requirements of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata Claire Godinot, Renaud Grover, Denis Allemand, Christine Ferrier-Pagès The Journal of Experimental Biology 2011 214: 2749-2754; doi: 10.1242/jeb.054239 http://jeb.biologists.org/content/214/16/2749 Also poorly understood in the nutrient balance is phosphate’s role. This sheds light on why zero is not the goal. Addition of ammonium or nitrate (up to 6.0 μmol l–1) did not enhance saturated phosphate […]

Online Triangle Calculator
This is a triangle calculator. Specifically, this is the open source triangle-calculator provided here: https://ostermiller.org/calc/triangle.html Since an LED emits light roughly in the shape of a cone, we can use triangle math to predict the amount of area an LED in a particular installation will light up. After the calculator has any three parts (not only […]
