Dimmable Lights from Evolution LED Seen on Video
Just a few days ago we were showing off some product details from the new dimmable LED fixtures from Evolution LED that we saw at MACNA a few weeks ago. Well, a day after that article went live, ReefKoi posted a video demonstrating the LED fixtures in action over their huge coral holding tanks in [...]
Is Aquarium Acclimation Really Necessary?
Before I get into this article, I will preface everything by saying that I am a big advocate of acclimating any and all fish, corals, and invertebrates that I add to my aquarium. I am not suggesting that aquarium hobbyists should stop acclimating new livestock purchases, but merely presenting information and experiences that I have [...]
Fish Heads Shows off Real Reef Live Rock at MACNA
Fish Heads Inc showed off their latest offering to the aquarium trade and it’s surprisingly not fish or corals. While at MACNA, the California-based livestock wholesaler had a booth full of their fairly new Real Reef Live Rock, which is a patent pending and 100% environmentally friendly man-made live rock substitute. According to the crew [...]
Bad Aquarium Keeping Information Still Abounds
While making the weekly trip to the fish store to glance over a new ORA order, I began chatting with the store owner about random aquarium stuff as usual. Our conversation eventually gravitated toward the new frag tank setup we were hovering over at the time, and we started discussing the T5HO fixture illuminating it. [...]
Tip of the Day – 9/30/2011
When it comes to aquarium equipment, the old proverb “you get what you pay for” plays a very important role.

The great deal then turns into an expensive nightmare. Case [...]
H2Ocean Pro Reef Paste Perfect for Fish and Corals
Gone are the days when aquarium hobbyists were limited to flake or frozen food for their fish and corals. D-D The Aquarium Solution was at MACNA showing off one of their newest additions to their lineup, the H2Ocean Pro line of foods. We glanced over all of the food types of course, but the Reef [...]
“Tanked” Gets Renewed for Second Season
We knew this was coming, it was just a matter of time. The aquarium-based television show “Tanked” has officially been picked up for season two, but instead of a short season with only 6 episodes, the second season will consist of 10 episodes. As with the first season, the new season of “Tanked” will follow [...]
Tip of the Day – 9/29/2011
When introducing a new fish to the aquarium, it might not be a good idea to just toss it into the tank after acclimation. Most fish make a bee line for the rocks and often hide for several days, with some never coming out ever again. One way you can add a fish to the [...]
House of Fins Celebrates 54th Anniversary Splash Event
The famous House of Fins aquarium store, which is known for their rare and beautiful livestock, is set to celebrate its 54th Anniversary Splash event. The two day event takes place on October 1st and 2nd, and will be full of insane specials, including 30% off all livestock for starters. To make Splash that much [...]
Unique Tower Profi Dosing System Seen at MACNA
We spied a very unique dosing pump setup at the Fins Reef booth at MACNA a couple of weeks ago, and this system from Didosy is a tightly packed tower of dosing goodness. The Tower Profi neatly crams four peristaltic dosing pumps into a very “under tank real estate friendly” vertical design. Sitting atop the [...]
