Captive Aquatics: An Aquarium and Ecology Blog

Reviews and Honesty Policy at the Captive Aquatics Blog

We wanted to write a post letting everyone know a bit about reviews here at the Captive Aquatics blog.  A few of our reviews have been getting quite a bit of traffic and controversy, so we thought we'd let you all know our ideals here.

The Captive Aquatics blog is not intended to make a profit.  In fact, we have declined some offers for additional sponsorship, especially offers from aquarium product manufacturers.  Let me tell you my reasons...

 

Captive Aquatics Partners with Southern Mills Custom Homes

Captive Aquatics is growing faster than we would ever have thought (especially in this economy!), and I'd like to announce our latest partner: Southern Mills Custom Homes.  Southern Mills is a premier custom home builder and renovator in the north Houston, Texas area.  When they wanted to provide top quality and highly customizable aquarium design and installation, they chose to partner with Captive Aquatics.  We're excited to begin work in the Spring, Texas and other areas with Southern Mills!  Parnership details are here.

The Captive Aquatics Blog wants YOU!

The Captive Aquatics blog is in search of authors to post once-weekly about aquarium related topics.  We need authors for the following categories, and are offering some catchy incentives!

 

Sustainable Aquatics Benefits the Hobby, the Environment, and Local Peoples

We're a big fan of anyone that practices sustainable ecological principles in this hobby, and none more than Sustainable Aquatics.  Offering a variety of captive bred clownfish species and morphs, Sustainable Aquatics takes things one step further with their Sustainable Islands project. 

Captive Aquatics Custom Aquarium in Teethwise Dental

 Teethwise Dental chose Captive Aquatics for aquarium design and installation in their new Humble, TX office.  "We had a very specific look we wanted to achieve" said Dr. Lapido, "and Mike worked with our architect to make it look exactly how we wanted!".

Mike Maddox Appears in Advanced Aquarist

Fellow CA blog author Mike Maddox appears in Advanced Aquarist once again; and printed this time is his guide to caring for the challenging and large carpet anemones. 

For those of you unfamiliar with the publication, Advanced Aquarist is literally the best saltwater and reef aquarium publication for those that have progressed beyond the beginner stage, and has even been cited and mentioned in National Geographic.  Second only to WetWebMedia in terms of sheer quantity of information, and arguably tied for quality, I can't recommend this (free!) publication enough!

Want to catch up on back issues?  Order the Advanced Aquarist book today!

Captive Aquatics Aquarium Livestock Spotlight

Captive Aquatics customers have expressed pleasure in the past about our ability to provide (much) higher quality livestock than any local fish store at a price no LFS or online seller can match, thanks in part to our several excellent supply partners, one of which I'd like to feature livestock from today: C-Quest Farms.
