Audio Visual Presentation by Steve Tyree. Fully narrated. 'Expanding the Zonal Concept to Captive Reef Filtration'. This presentation includes 70 slide images and 60 minutes of highly detailed narration by Steve Tyree. This presentation explains the new Zonal Natural Filtration System that Steve Tyree has been researching for the past 7 years. This all natural captive reef filtration method requires no sediments and no lighted algal sumps. Basically, a cryptic zone replaces the protein skimmer commonly utilized on 'Berlin' reef systems. This basic concept however has been expanded to examine captive and natural reefs with a new zonal perspective. Zones such as the Cryptic Zone, the Semi-Cryptic Zone and the Filter Feeder Zone have been devised by Steve Tyree. These new zones are based on captive research, on feedback from scuba divers and they are also based on researching the scientific literature. A standalone Trizonal system for example consumes less electricity then a Berlin system or a system being naturally filtered by algae. This standalone Trizonal also contains absolutely no plumbing, which translates to never experiencing a plumbing leak. Within this presentation there is also an exciting discovery documented. Cryptic Reef Plankton ! These truelly pelagic planktonic copepods seem to prefer living within a cryptic zone or a darkly lighted cave. If you have a cryptic zone or a deep cave or even an external sump with very weak water currents, you might have a population of these cryptic planktonic copepods in your system right now ! This audio visual presentation is available in two formats. The Video CD format will run on any DVD player just like a DVD movie. It is best viewed on a 20 inch or larger TV. The Video CD can also be viewed on a computer with a DVD and DVD player software. Basically, if you can view DVD movies you can view this Video CD. This presentation is also available in PC CDROM executable format. This PC CDROM will auto run the presentation on a windows PC with Windows XP, Windows millenium, Windows 2000 or Windows 1998. Minimum system requirements are a cdrom drive, at least 64 meg of memory and the processor needs to be at least 600 MHZ. The PC CDROM format is recommended for people who have a windows PC available. This is because this format is displayed in a high res format (1024 x 768) that contains incredible detail. The Video CD format has a normal ntsc resolution and we recommend that for people who do not have a windows PC or for people who want the comfort of viewing this presentation on a DVD and TV. Both formats are just $20.00 each plus $2.50 postage and handling (California residents add 7.75 % Sales Tax). There are 70 slides fully narrated. Distributed by DE Publishing. Presentations contain graphics, images, text, video and narrated audio. Order via Paypal payment services above or just send us email. This Audio Video Presentation CD is an updated version of the presentation Steve Tyree gave at Macna 2004 in Boston on 9/10/04. It is also the same presentation Steve Tyree will be giving to the United Kingdom in early October 2004 at the 7th Instant Ocean Seminar in Leicester Uiversity.

Audio Visual Presentation by Steve Tyree. Fully narrated. 'Biological Light Requirements of Photosynthetic Corals'. This presentation includes 79 slide images and 60 minutes of highly detailed narration by Steve Tyree.This presentation examines the primary light collecting capabilities of the Symbiodinium algae within photosynthetic corals and compares these capapbilities with the spectral output of typical captive reef halide bulbs. Learn why the 20,000 K bulb works even though its PAR output is low and its spectral output is narrow. Also learn the strengths and weaknesses of 20,000 K, 10,000 K and 6,500 K bulbs. The main section of this presentation however is centered around the topic of colorful coral pigmentation. Learn about the three main types of coral pigments and also discover what scientist researching corals have discovered about these pigments. In addition to this, a simple technique called Light Bracketing can be easily employed by aquarist to generally discover what type of pigments they have in their specific corals. This is followed with an exciting possible discovery that may have occurred in one of Steve Tyree's reefs. Pigment grafting ! Learn how possibly the pigments of one coral were grafted onto and are growing on a coral from a different family. This audio visual presentation is available in two formats.

The current releases from DE Publishing include our latest book series called CMAT or Captive Mantenance Advanced Techiques. Volume 1 is called "The Environmental Gradient - Cryptic Sponge and Sea Squirt Filtration Models". This book completely describes how to setup a 100 % natural captive reef system that contains a bright light reef flat area along with a dark to low light cryptic habitat or zone. The two areas can work together as the photosynthetic organisms in the reef flat produce nutrients or wastes for the cryptic low light organisms. The particular filtration model described within this volume primarily utilizes living sponges and sea squirts within the low light cryptic habitat. A new second edition of the second volume of the Captive Oceans Series is now available. Called The Ascidians (Sea Squirts) - Their Biology, Physiology and Natural Filtration Integration. This is a standalone book concerned with the captive maintenance of sea squirts. Their natural biology and physiology are also covered. In addition to this, how sea squirts can be integrated into providing the primary filtration support for a captive system will also be discussed. You will be amazed to learn how tiny particulate matter, pelagic protozoa and pelagic bacteria can be filtered and controlled naturally. This book is the best book DE publishing has ever distributed. There are now 88 full color images of sea squirts, 250 pages of information and a 100 page appendix compiled for this book that lists all known sea squirt species and families. The Fifth Edition of volume 1 of the Captive Oceans Series is available. This is a complete standalone book concerning the captive maintenance of sponges. Their natural biology and physiology are also covered. In addition to this, how sponges can be integrated into providing the primary filtration support for a captive system will also be discussed. You will be amazed to learn how dissolved organics and bacteria can be filtered and controlled naturally. This new fifth edition now contains 48 photos of some of the actual sponges referenced within the book. DE Publishing is also currently distributing the Fourth Edition of volume 1 of the Reef Building Stony Coral Series - The Natural Physical Environment. This is the first book written by Steve Tyree and its main topic concerns the natural physical environment that Reef Building Stony Corals experience in nature. The book is basically a Review of the Current Known Scientific Research concerning the physical environment that these corals experience in nature. Areas covered include "The Ocean Environment", "The Reef Environment", "Stony Coral Provinces and Regions", "The Natural Light Environment", "Ocean, Reef and Coral Water Motion" and "Natural Propagation". The Third Edition includes an expanded Stony Coral Province and Region chapter with many new maps of coral reef locations. The Fourth Edition has added some very new scientific research concerning coral pigmentation.
