AEFW Experiment

[outdrsyguy1]

So there's a person trying to get funding for AEFW research. Is there a place on the site I can post that information without violating the rules? I really think it's something we should maybe even consider funding as a part of the reef club fees personally. It's something that affects us all at one point or another seemingly and is a huge issue for reefers.

Let me know please!

thanks

Okay, well no one responded so I'm going to put this out there. delete it if it's a problem.

This person ran a preliminary experiment on many different sized AEFW to see how often they bred and how long they lived without food. It was very enlightening information. I'd like to post the link to the thread but it's on another "centralized" web site. Can I post such a link if it's informational in nature?

I still think the club should consider throwing a few bucks towards the research project if we can spare it.

I'm having a hard time understanding how this would cost 5k
Edit: just saw the read more button, thought it was just hobbyists at first.

I'm not sure her exact background but she was very thorough and is in contact with several experts in the field of AEFW. Most of it is set up and airfare to fly in one of the experts for experiments. She's very nice and responsive, send me a pm if you'd like to communicate directly with her.
