Koi Fish Bangle Bracelet - Sterling Silver Filled

A silver tone Koi Fish charm (16mm x 10mm) has been formed into a bangle bracelet with a sterling silver filled band. It stacks beautifully with other bracelets from the EnCharmed collection. You can wear several together for a uniquely layered look. This bangle bracelet has no clasp and does not open, so it must fit over the hand. It is 8″ in circumference, so please make sure to measure the widest part of your hand as shown in the photo for a perfect fit. The high quality bracelet band is made with a very heavy layer of 925 sterling silver that is bonded to a base metal. It has a 10% sterling silver thickness which is hundreds of times thicker than silver plate. Durable and long-lasting, it is a great alternative to solid sterling silver at an affordable price. This bracelet will arrive beautifully packaged in a natural Kraft gift box. Photos are enlarged to show detail, please refer to listed dimensions. Sending a gift?

Fluval Edge 6-Gallon Aquarium with 21-LED Light , Silver

Edgy is precisely the word to describe Fluval EDGE. It’s so out there on so many fronts; it’s cool, trendy, breathtaking, contemporary and stylish. Its striking 3D cube design is refreshingly new and revolutionary. EDGE is an eye-catching showpiece that stands out anywhere you put it. It includes LED lighting, so it makes a spectacular substitute for tabletop lamps. EDGE consists of two main components working in perfect harmony: a clear glass aquarium nestled inside an elegant pedestal. The pedestal appears to be clasping the tank, making the aquarium appear like it is suspended in mid-air. The column houses the filter and the electrical wiring is neatly concealed inside the column. EDGE has a clear glass top that allows a clear and virtually unobstructed aerial view of the interior. The cover is completely sealed, which allows you to fill the aquarium right up to the brim, creating a spectacular effect. Water evaporation is minimal. The unobtrusive pedestal structure and the clear top allow a great all-around view. Instead of a traditional canopy, there is a small cover at the top that houses the lighting. EDGE comes in two sizes 6 and 12 gallons. Both models are ideal for countertops, desks and tabletops. The 6 gallon model includes 21 LED bulbs—18 white and 3 blue bulbs. You can turn on all the lights for full illumination or turn on only the blue bulbs to create a night-time moonlight effect. The LEDs create clear and natural-looking lighting that makes fish and plant colors look strikingly vibrant. EDGE comes with a Fluval Power Filter, which is hidden from view inside the pedestal column. The power filter keeps the aquarium water clean. A quiet pump inside the filter circulates the water. As the water flows through the filter, it flows through mechanical, chemical and biological filtering media, which skims and washes the water clean so that fish and plants can enjoy a clear and healthy environment. All required media is included.

Fluval EDGE

Inspired by architectural styling, the EDGE aquarium creates a unique visual effect capturing emotion and serenity within a contemporary setting. The Fluval EDGE design includes a unique equipment casing which hides and holds all the essentials. Even wiring is beautifully hidden, allowing a good all-around view whether placed on a desk, low coffee table or kitchen top. EDGE brings an exciting new look to aquatics, combining the most modern aquarium design with the beauty of nature. The result is an utterly stylish complement to any home or office space.

6 and 12 Gallon tanks available.

Variety of Features

Two Sizes Available

The Fluval EDGE is available in two sizes: a 6 gallon aquarium and a 12 gallon aquarium. Both models have been designed to capture emotion and serenity.

360 Degree Viewing

The world’s first 3D water cube aquarium, both models of the Fluval EDGE can be filled to the very brim thanks to the sealed glass top, providing high definition viewing from every angle. The sealed top reduces evaporation for less maintenance and a large, hidden aperture allows oxygen exchange to keep fish healthy. A floating base design gives the set a very small footprint for easy placement and lends the aquarium a clean, contemporary look.

Compact Design

The EDGE is extremely versatile due to its compact proportions. It makes a beautiful addition to any interior where space may be limited and in low light areas, it brings light and life to dull corners and uninteresting walls.

Hidden High Quality Filtration

Fluval EDGE comes complete with a powerful and efficient 3 stage filter which remains completely hidden, preserving the striking aquarium design. Featuring mechanical, chemical and biological filtration for clear, healthy water, the EDGE filter is much like Hagen’s AquaClear clip on filter range, which has a long history of proven performance.

An Aquarium to Complement Your Lifestyle

Designed to complement modern decor, the EDGE is available in three stylish colors: black, white and silver. The 6 gallon aquarium is offered in all three colors, and the 12 gallon is offered in black and white. The striking design and contemporary wrap around stand will create a talking point in your home for years to come.

Easy Assembly and Maintenance

Fluval EDGE takes only seconds to assemble and the perforated, removable cover effectively dissipates lamp heat, avoids moisture, and allows easy access to the filter’s lift out media trays. Wide ranges of EDGE cleaning accessories are also available to make cleaning simple.

Visually Stunning

A powerful, retractable LED lighting system creates a visually stunning display. The Edge is equipped with both white and blue LED bulbs, giving you the ability to provide full illumination or a night-time moonlight effect. The 6 gallon aquarium comes with a 21-bulb lighting system and the 12 gallon comes with 42 bulbs. Both models have a three position on/off switch for the ability to display Bright Daytime, Deep Blue Nighttime and Off.

Versatile Design

The Fluval EDGE aquarium has been designed for today’s lifestyle with a contoured casing module and a 6-sided glass tank. Whether in an ultra-modern or more traditional setting, this versatile aquarium adds the ‘designer’ look to almost any room in the home. The gentle flow of water and glow of the LED lighting produce a beautiful shimmering effect reminiscent to sunlight on open water.

Easy to Operate and Quiet

EDGE is quiet, powerful and easy to use aquarium that turns fish-keeping into an extraordinary visual experience.

Display Anywhere in Your Home

The Fluval EDGE has been designed to be filled to the top. The action of the filter provides all the oxygen exchange fish need. This means that the aquarium can be positioned at a lower level and viewed clearly from above through the glass top, unhindered by equipment or trailing wires.

Product Features

6 sided, 6 gallon sealed glass aquarium

Powerful, easy to use Edge filter with Cycleguard

Includes Nutrafin Cycle and Nutrafin Aquaplus water treatments

LED Lighting, Filtration & Wiring is easily hidden away in the décorative column

The Structural Basis for Enhanced Silver Reflectance in Koi Fish Scale and Skin

J. Am. Chem. Soc., Just Accepted Manuscript

DOI: 10.1021/ja509340c

Publication Date (Web): November 13, 2014

Abstract

Fish have evolved biogenic multilayer reflectors composed of stacks of intra-cellular anhydrous guanine crystals separated by cytoplasm, to produce the silvery luster of their skin and scales. Here we compare two different variants of the Japanese Koi fish; one of them with enhanced reflectivity. Our aim is to determine how biology modulates reflectivity, and from this to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the structure and properties governing the intensity of silver reflectance. We measured the reflectance of individual scales with a custom made microscope, and then for each individual scale we characterized the structure of the guanine crystal/cytoplasm layers using high resolution cryo-SEM. The measured reflectance and the structural-geometrical parameters were used to calculate the reflectance of each scale, and the results were compared to the experimental measurements. We show that enhanced reflectivity is obtained with the same basic guanine crystal/cytoplasm stacks, but the structural arrangement between the stack, inside the stacks and relative to the scale surface is varied, when reflectivity is enhanced. Finally, we propose a model that incorporates the basic building block parameters, the crystal orientation inside the tissue, and the resulting reflectance, and explains the mechanistic basis for reflectance enhancement.
