New Biocube 29 HQI Nano Aquarium

As I mentioned in my three step guide to nano reefs, I'm a fan of Oceanic's Biocube series all-in-one nano reef aquariums, hence my excitement about their newly announced Biocube 29 HQI!  The 29 HQI system puts a new spin on the older Biocube line: a large glass-covered opening in the slick-looking outer lid to allow for 150 watts of 14k halide lighting (my favorite!), in addition to some other new features, mainly a refugium compartment with separate lighting, and a protein skimmer (the standard biocube skimmer...sigh).  Very cool, and at MSRP of $550, not horrendously expensive.  Anyway, on to the pics!

Memorial Hermann Chooses Captive Aquatics

"When we wanted to make our patient experience unique at the Memorial Hermann Surgery Center,  we turned to Captive Aquatics™, a North Houston-based aquarium design, service, installation, and consultation company.  The Captive Aquatics staff assisted our office managers with the planning and design of our request for a large saltwater reef aquarium customized for our offices.  A few months later, a beautiful, custom 120 gallon reef display was dazzling patients!  We were so pleased that we purchased a smaller, 'nano' reef aquarium!  Many thanks to the staff of Captive Aquatics and their extraordinary expertise in the planning, design, and installation of our marine aquariums!"  Thanks for the kind words! - Mike
