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 [...]
Stunning Royal Gramma Dejongi Hybrid Seen on Video
We first spied the stunning Cuban Gramma dejongi basslet almost two full years ago. And even though we’ve seen plenty of images and videos of these amazing and virtually unattainable fish since then, we still can’t seem to get enough. Unfortunately for our addiction, the story doesn’t stop with just this species, as it gets [...]
Amazing Room Divider Aquarium Install from ADG
While we don’t typically chat about freshwater systems, this new installation from the crew at Aquarium Design Group is a build that we just had to share. The setup is a room divider, separating what appears to be a closed in porch area and a living room area. These types of aquariums aren’t uncommon in [...]
Cone Snail Inhaling Fish on Video
Here’s a video to help get you through this long Monday. It’s a brief clip showing a cone snail, noted for its very deadly venom, attacking and devouring a small goatfish. The snail is a slow assassin, inching closer to the sleeping fish, eventually paralyzing it with chemicals that it releases into the water. Once [...]
Are Touchscreen Aquariums in Our Future?
Recently at the CES show, Samsung unveiled their OLED driven “Smart Window”, which is a transparent touchscreen LED screen that can be installed on windows and other glass surfaces. Watching the video above, we immediately thought of potential aquarium uses. From the reports we’ve read, the transparent screen doesn’t replace a glass window, but simply [...]
Lipogramma robinsi Spotted on Video for First Time Ever
Curacao has been somewhat of a center for rare aquatic life as of late, with several very rare indiviuals being hauled up from extreme depths and finding their way into the tanks of rare livestock dealers. Fish from the Lipogramma genus seem to be making up a majority of this catch, and in keeping with [...]
Our First Rare Fish Spotting of the New Year
The year is still so young, but we’ve already got a rare fish sighting to report. Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen the Interruptus Angelfish (Centropyge interrupta) show up in only a couple of places. The first was a video clip from Blue Harbor in November. Then LiveAquaria posted a couple of these [...]
Tridacna Clams Spawning in Home Reef Tank
Tridacna clams are some of the most interesting and colorful invertebrates we could put in our aquariums. They have a brightly colored and wildly patterend mantle, can retract into their shells when startled, and can even take up nitrate and free-floating particles when they are filter feeding. Another trick they can do is mass spawn [...]
Oceanlife Overflow Masters the Minimalist Look
We stumbled across the Oceanlife Overflow over on Acuaristica recently and instantly fell in love with the extremely tiny footprint and minimal intrusion into the aquarium. The overflow doesn’t drain or return water in a fancy way, such as with the Xaqua X-INOUT that actually functions as a wavemaking return device. Instead, the Oceanlife device [...]
