Clownfish in Zoanthid 8x10 Canvas Print
Clownfish in Zoanthid Tile Coaster
Clownfish in Zoanthid Mugs
These are my three favorite items from the shop.
The canvas print is great for when I am away from the tanks. It makes my desk look nice and brings a lot of color to my day.
The tile coaster is great when you are busy working in a tank and splash water everywhere. Or for resting your drinks on!
Finally, as an avid coffee drinker I strongly recommend these mugs with a cute clown fish. It goes perfectly with the tile coasters!

Hypothetical: What if coral became the new "Betta" fish?
Hi friends! I have a question for you today! What if coral became the new "betta"? What do I mean by this? Well, betta fish are sold in small cups in stores across the country. This is because they sell them so fast (they claim). It leads people to believe they do not need a bigger home too. Along with this, companies market small containers and wild gadgets that really do not promote the health of the fish. So what if we changed betta for coral? At first I was not sure what that would do... But now I actually think it would be an amazing achievement. See, coral do not need a certain size container to live in. As long as they have light and good water they should be able to grow healthy. I think this alone would reduce the ethical issues around bettas in a cup. Coral in a cup! The downside to this is I do not see it taking off. Everyone likes a fish because it swims around and "does stuff". It is active and bright and catches people's attention. Cora...
Prediction for 2022
Hi friends! Many of you may not know this, but the reef tank hobby goes through waves of trends (get it?). A few years ago scollys' were the big expensive coral going around. Not long after that bounce mushrooms were a bit hit. Rockflower anemones' had a short time in the lime light. And of course how can we forget about all of the designer zoanthids. A lot of the trendy coral that makes its way into the hobby also depend on oversea regulation. Indonesia (where most coral is shipped from) placed heavy regulations on ocean harvesting and trade over the last year in part due to covid and in part due to over fishing. My big bold prediction for 2022 is that there will be a wave of "desk" tanks as the next trend. This would help move the hobby forward in many ways. 1. It would take focus away from office betta tanks that are not suitable for fish. Fish need a lot more space than most people believe. A betta fish is recommended to have at lea...
Critiquing LEDs in the hobby
Hi friends! I hope you are all doing wonderful today. I would like to offer some words to the companies that create products in the hobby. Overall, I am fairly upset at the prices for the quality of most products. I think it is absurd that they charge so much for equipment that is fairly cheap. I think one of the better products to look at is LED lighting. It has grown very fast in the last five years. Take a look at the Hydra 32 HD . It is $400! That is not including the equipment to hang it either. That can range from $80-200 in addition. Focusing on the hang on equipment, it is typically of nice quality. It is sturdy and mostly clean looking. They started adding on nicer qualities such as clips so the cord does not dangle over the tank. But that $200 hanging arm cost me $20 at Menards. It was just a bracket and some parts to put it together. And they look very similar. The LEDs themselves are not much better. LEDs are fairly cheap to make. It is surrounded by a cheap plastic b...
