    Aquascaping the glassbox

    Everything is still settling in to the glassbox and updates will be postponed for a while until corals color back up. In the mean time here’s a peak at the current liverock layout with some of my own ramblings on aquascaping.  The liverock used here is 25 pounds of Premium’s Cured Bali Alor and it is [...]

    Great Shoalers, Lyretail Anthias & Blue Eye Apogon Cardinals

    A few weeks back we received a trio of Lyretail Anthias (Pseudanthias cheirospilos) and a trio of Blue Eye Cardinalfish (Apogon leptacanthus) from LiveAquaria’s Diver’s Den. They have settled in well and I managed to snap some photos of these guys over the weekend. For size reference, the Lysmata cleaner shrimp behind them is roughly [...]
