Resurrecting the “Aquarium at the Office” Idea
Way back in May 2010, I was given the green light to install an aquarium at work. My coworkers and I were super thrilled, especially my immediate supervisor, and the planning stages began. Unfortunately, that idea had to be scrapped as a higher authority didn’t want to allocate funds for an aquarium and a fear [...]
New Rimless Nano-Cube RL Coming from JBJ
With the looming release of the stylish new Unibody LED fixture, JBJ is also quietly unveiling a brand new rimless Nano-Cube. But this new nano isn’t just a rimless version of the aquariums that JBJ already offers. Instead, the nano builders went back to the drawing board and completely revamped the nano for this rimless [...]
The AquaMedic Yasha Nano Aquarium
AquaMedic is jumping head first into the rimless high end nano aquarium game with the release of their new Yasha all-in-one setup. And this tank is full of features. The first thing anyone notices with this setup is the trio of spotlight LEDs that extend from the back wall. These LEDs consume about 3watts each [...]
Oceanic’s Updated BioCube HQI Seen at MACNA
It’s been a while since the Oceanic BioCube with the open top design came out, and while we’re not typically fans of stock all-in-one nano aquariums, this new HQI BioCube looked pretty neat in the vendor hall at MACNA. Ditching the old hood style lighting scheme, this new nano features a 150-watt double ended HQI [...]
Nanotuners Ends Direct-to-Consumer Operations
Here’s some potentially bad news for the nano tank crowd. The popular nano aquarium DIY gurus at Nanotuners (aka Nanocustoms) have apologetically announced that they are ending their “consumer facing operations”, and are instead switching gears. While we haven’t been able to clarify exactly what these statements mean as of yet, we assume this to [...]
Kessil Ocean Blue A150W Shimmering Over Nano Tank
Over the weekend, I had the privilege of speaking to the local aquarium club, the Marine Aquarium and Reef Society of Houston, about aquarium chemistry and certain products that help us maintain that chemistry. The meeting was held at Fish Gallery, a local store that is constantly giving back to the hobby, and I couldn’t [...]
Innovative Marine’s Nuvo Aquarium Line
Continuing on with our spotlighting of the new products from Innovative Marine, we now shift our focus to their Nuvo Aquariums. These Pico, Nano, and Mini aquariums are made from bent glass and are super stylish all-in-one tanks (abbreviated AIO) that will look great on desktops, countertops, or designated stands. Each of these feature laden [...]
Dynamite Comes in Tiny Nano Reef Package
Stunning reef aquariums don’t always have to be massive. Sure, you can cram more rare and beautiful livestock into a larger system, but even the tiniest of aquariums can be showpieces. The rimless reef aquarium above, although very small, just goes to prove my point. The aquarium is an ADA 60-F tank, which has a [...]
The New Skimz Ibox Nano Aquarium
Aqua-Digital, a North American distributor of Skimz aquarium equipment, has recently released some photos and information on the new Skimz Ibox nano aquarium. This sleek looking nano has a volume of only 9L (or roughly 2.5 gallons), but it certainly packs a punch with all of its features. The Ibox measures approximately 7″W x 8.8″D [...]
JBJ LED Nano Seen in the Wild
I’ve had the distinct privilege of getting to play with the brand new JBJ LED Nano Cube aquarium this weekend, and I must say that I was quite impressed with the new lighting scheme. The aquarium is based on the standard 28-gallon JBJ Nano Cube, with the only real change being the lights. The hood [...]
