Hello!
I am currently a graduate student studying machine learning and data science. Before I returned to school I worked as a biochemist in R&D for a renewable fuels company that studied water quality and oil quality. I (like everyone else here) am an amateur aquarist.
Over the past few months I've been working on developing a large dataset of zoanthid and palythoa growth parameters, the overall goal of this venture is to create a predictive model of zoanthid growth based on water parameters. I also plan on submitting these finds to a scientific journal for publication.
Below you can find a link the zoanthid survey:

The basic questions on the survey surround your tank conditions and water parameters as well as how many new polyps each colony produced over the last week. Ideally following the same colony for several weeks would yield the best outcomes, but we're very thankful for any data you contribute!

Zoanthid & Palythoa Data Collection
Scope: Comprehensive study of growth patterns of zoanthids in home reef environments Timeline: Report published by June 2024; ongoing after if there's interest. Methodology: Develop predictive method for home reef parameters and zoanthid husbandry outcomes through measurements of weekly growth...
