Water, that is. Who says a glass box needs to be completely filled with water? Paludariums (vivariums that incorporates both terrestrial and aquatic elements) can make for extremely beautiful and dynamic displays. by Admin | Jan 13, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist
Take a long, hard look at this photo. Try to identify this organism ... then try again. We share the answer after the jump. Nature is really amazing. by Admin | Jan 10, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist
Although high quality hang-on-back (HOB) skimmers are the exception rather than the rule, the new Deepwater Aquatics HOB skimmer looks very promising and reasonably priced to boot. by Admin | Jan 9, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist

It wasn't much more than a year ago when we saw the first footage of a live giant squid, which were previously known only by the carcasses that had washed ashore. On January 8, 2014, a Japanese fisherman netted a live giant squid with his own video to prove it! by Admin | Jan 9, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist
A new research has discovered that at least one Fijian macroalgae can alter its physiology when it makes contact with SPS corals, an ability unknown to science until now. When placed next to Porites, this algae creates more toxins to kill the coral via chemical warfare. But the research doesn't end there. Scientists then discovered that as the macroalgae increased its chemical potency, it also attracted Naso tangs, which ate 80% more of it. The herbivores actually found the anti-coral compounds delicious! If you need more proof that tangs are good for SPS, here you go. The web of life is a marvelously complex machine!
