Chinese (Putonghua) terms for marine tanks

[mke1963]

Unusual request perhaps, but I live in Beijing, China.
Does anyone have a glossary or know where there is one showing English and Chinese terms covering marine tanks, fish and invertebrates? Preferrably one that shows Pinyin as well as script. My standard dictionaries don't help a great deal with phrases like "foam fractionation" or "live rock", etc!

Thanks, Mark

I think you might have better luck with this question in the main discussion forum. I'll move this there and leave a copy in the NRF as well...

I think the user named "seven ephors" may be able to help you with this one.

I started to learn Mandarin only after I married a woman from Mainland, but I speak Cantonese pretty well since I grew up in Hong Kong.

Can't help you personally, but there are tons of other reef boards specific to the Chinese community. For example, there is one for the Chinese Malaysian, and many of them use the simplified Chinese fonts in their discussion:

Maybe you want to browse around there and see if that's what you want.
