The Infinity Aquarium

BCXSY has done something I’ve always dreamed of doing, they’ve created what may be the first multi-faceted aquarium. The angular form creates a mirror effect, generating a real cubist image.
The angles remind us greatly of one our our favorite artists DAIM. If you don’t know who DAIM is (pronounced “dime”) check his work out.

Fan Options - Tunze

Fans can be a great tool to cool your reef and eliminate the need of a costly chiller. Unfortunately, there are not very many fan options out there that fit in with rimless tanks.  There are the profilux aluminums and azoo clip ons…but they are a bit distracting.

At $295 that are not “cheap” but they will hit the […]

The Formosa Forest is expanding…

Our friend Leonardo, from the Netherlands, is known on most of the major forums due to his beautiful staghorn garden known as the Formosa Forest. He was one of the first to do a rimless with minimal live rock reef display. We lost contact with him for a while, but found his updated thread over […]

Today’s Photo - All the fish

Here’s a photo we took today… they thought they were deserving of some more food, and we obliged. The male clown didn’t make it in, but all the rest are there. 
Unfortunately Marie, the C.Collare, did not make it. She passed overnight a few days ago. We were somewhat surprised as she started eating well, but […]
