Your aquarium can be a reflection of your personality. Image from Opulentitems.com via homeinteriorproject.blogspot.com On this blog, we’ve discussed everything you can put in your aquarium, from the tamest plants to the scariest sharks. We have countless articles about how to build and maintain your aquarium, and the best places to put it. But most of those articles…

Raising a kid with autism can be tough. Not only do you have to deal with all of the typical headaches of parenthood, like changing diapers and waking up to the sound of crying in the middle of the night, but you also have to deal with all of the extra difficulties that accompany autism.…

To be honest with you, I didn’t really like Avatar. The plot was fairly predictable without being moving, and it didn’t surprise or captivate me. I have to admit, though: the one thing that Avatar did exceptionally was the graphics. The Avatar world looked absolutely awesome. Probably the most memorable set piece was the area with floating…

Everything needs a bit of maintenance now and then. Your car needs oil changes, carpets need to be vacuumed, and grass needs to be mowed. Aquariums are no different.

This year is winding down, so I thought it would be a good time to look back and reflect on some of the most beautiful aquariums from 2012. But with thousands upon thousands of aquascapes to choose from, how can we possibly find the best of the best? Well, that’s easy. Each year, fish fans…
