Amazing Acro Dominated Japanese Aquarium
We love Japanese reef aquariums. They are simple in design, but appeal to a complex array of senses and they are just so different than what we see here in the US. The rock structure is beyond minimal, and the little bit of rock that is present is strategically covered by large plating Acropora colonies, [...]
The Icy Finger of Death
We know this doesn’t exactly apply to our niche of the saltwater aquatic world, but it’s just too cool to not share. The video above, which is sped up during most parts, shows the formation of a very interesting frozen feature of the almost alien Antarctic world. This ice formation is called a brinicle, and [...]
Lionfish Capture Prey by Spitting
We’ve all read about the intense lionfish invasion of the western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea and the extremely adverse effects the fish have had on those delicate ecosystems, but this is one of the few times we get to see how these very effective predators hunt down their unsuspecting prey. In a recent study [...]
Reef Fish Aggression Caught on Tape
While rummaging through old photos and videos in order to perform a long overdue backup of our data, we stumbled upon some really old footage showing a trio of blue green reef Chromis (Chromis viridis) displaying to each other aggressively. The three fish can be seen flaring their fins, presenting their sides in order to [...]
Unusual Aquarium Livestock at Fish Gallery Houston
Since starting a major project at work that requires I be there 14 days in a row and getting only one day off, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to peruse the local aquarium scene here in Houston. Fortunately, yesterday was that one off day and I decided to pay a quick visit [...]
SeaWeb Commercial Appears During Super Bowl
While most of the Super Bowl commercials were centered around beer, Doritos, and career building, one of them had our oceans in mind. Airing to viewers in the San Francisco Bay area predominantly, the “SeaWeb Commercial” runs a little more than 30 seconds but includes vivid imagery of various ocean animals, including a whale, a [...]

Well, landlocked hobbyists are in for a treat, as Talking Fish gives us all a little more insight as to how one of the larger aquarium collectors operates.

Video Demonstrating How the Deep Sea Aquatics Neo Storm Works
Back in September, AquaNerd contributor Keith Hatch stumbled upon a brand new open top aquarium from Deep Sea Aquatics (DSA) called the Neo Storm. The aquarium, which is basically a beefed up version of the Neo Nano, was first spied at the Super Zoo pet show in Las Vegas, and despite looking very similar to [...]
Back and Forth Banter on Hawaiian Aquarium Ban in Video
We recently discovered a little video dialogue from C Harding Productions showing both supporters and opponents of aquarium collection in Hawaii. The arguments are fairly well represented from both sides, as experts from different viewpoints chime in as to why each issue is important. We get to hear the typical points, but one individual struck [...]
The New CAD Lights Conic Bio-Reactor
In the fast growing market of biopellet media and the associated media reactors, it comes to no surprise that the crew at CAD Lights is getting on board the trend. But in true CAD Lights style, they aren’t quite falling in line with that trend when it comes to the design of their latest product, the [...]
