LEDs comparison over a nano reef

The guys over at Reefbuilders have put together a pretty cool animated gif image highlighting the differences between the NanoCustom’s and LeDio LED spotlights.

Hybrid Stripe Candy Cane Cookeolus Japonicus

And now for something completely different! I have no further details about this mysterious, yet beautiful looking fish other to say that is really caught my attention when I first saw it. What do you think of the Hybrid Stripe Candy Cane Cookeolus Japonicus?
Note: I highly doubt this would make a good nano fish as [...]

Rotifers and Copepods get freeze dried

Two new freeze dried coral/fish food products from ReefPhyto have been announced.
Freeze Dried Rotifiers

Freeze-Dried Rotifers are the naturally-enriched feed for nearly all larval fish, both marine and freshwater.

Best Job in the World (British version)

So you heard about the caretaker job for the Australian island? Perhaps the climate was a little too tropical for you? If it was, why not check out this position a Puffin Warden on the slightly more temperate island of  Skomer.
Skomer, two miles off the Pembrokeshire coast, has no blazing sunshine, coral reef or exotic [...]
