A friend of mine wanted a small aquarium for his bedroom so I told him about the Ecoxotic EcoPico Desktop Aquarium. After looking at the pictures I showed him, he went ahead and purchased it. He’s new to planted aquariums so he needed my help. After receiving the package, I came over and helped him aquascape and setup the aquarium. Check out the video!
Video: Florida Aquatic Nurseries Tour
At the AGA Convention 2010 last year, we were given a private tour of the Florida Aquatic Nurseries. Florida Aquatic Nurseries is the leading supplier for aquarium and pond plants within the United States. Throughout the tour, I decided to shoot some footage of the facility and their aquarium plants. Check it out!
The Aquatic Gardener Journal Vol. 24 No. 1
Are you an AGA member? If so, then you’ve might of already received your copies of The Aquatic Gardener Journal Volume 24 Number 1. I received a package from the Aquatic Gardeners Association today and inside were two copies of The Aquatic Gardener, which is a journal published by the AGA. The Aquatic Gardener journal contains articles on anything planted aquarium related and are written by planted aquarium enthusiasts.
In this TAG Journal Volume 24, Number 1, an article recapping the events of the AGA 2010 Convention was written by Dustin Wunderlich and to complement his article are photos which were taken by me. I have also written my own article recapping my experience at the convention as well, check it out! It has been almost four months since the AGA convention and by reading through this article and looking at the photos, I cannot wait until the next convention.
Hope you enjoy reading through the TAG Journal and looking through the photos. If you are not an AGA member, I highly recommend that you become one. You will get to learn a lot about planted aquariums, meet planted aquarium enthusiasts, and have fun with the planted aquarium hobby. You can become a member by visiting the Aquatic Gardeners Association website.

Video: Crystal Black Shrimp
I posted a video of my 5.5G shrimp aquarium a while back and at the time the aquarium housed both crystal black and crystal red shrimp. I spent some time this weekend taking down the shrimp aquarium and decided to separate the blacks from the reds. The crystal blacks are now in their new 20G long aquarium and enjoying their new home.
