Looks like Blue Harbor gets Centropyge narcosis

Posted: May 18th, 2012, 12:20am CDT by Taka Kamata
I believe everybody is wondering where Centropyge narcosis goes, but it looks like Blue Habor in Japan got it. It is still not sure how many Centropyge narcosis they got. It might be only one, but might be more than one. Reefers in Japan are really fortunate to have a chance to buy this really rare fish. Even if you cannot afford it, you might have a chance to look the live one.

Full Spectrum version of KR90DR will be released from eco-lamp and Blue Harbor

Posted: April 8th, 2012, 1:07am CDT by Taka Kamata
As you know, eco-lamp released special KR93 called KR93SP in Japanese market by working with Blue Harbor and Eiji at 1.023World. KR93SP contains 400nm, 420nm and cyan spectrum LED to mimic Sun light spectrum. Now, eco-lamp and Blue Harbor are preparing to release KR90DR designed for LPS. Also fresh water model name KR90FW will be released.

As you know KR93SP is a product to focus on the light spectrum for Corals especially SPS. That’s why they include 400nm, 420nm and cyan spectrum. KR90DR does not include 400nm LED, but still including 420nm spectrum.

These special LED system lights are new in the market, so you may not be able to find many tanks using these lights. However, I have no doubt that there will be awesome tank with these special lights soon. These models are only available in Japan, but they might be selling elsewhere in the near feature.

The price and actual release date is not officially announced from Blue Harbor, but the release date is expected to be sometime around this summer.

Dr. Seuss Fish, Belonoperca pylei, appears at Aqua Stage 21 in Japan

Posted: March 27th, 2012, 7:07am CDT by Taka Kamata
Dr. Seuss’ Fish, Belonoperca pylei, has hit at Aqua Stage 21 in Japan. This rare deepwater soapfish fish usually lives in really deep water around 330ft (100m) in Marshall island. However, accordingto Aqua Stage 21 blog, he was collected in not such a deep water because he swam up to shallower depth. It was really by accident that this Belonoperca pylei was collected. Because of the shallow collection point, the Dr. Seuss fish does not have decompression problem. His size is around 2.5inch, by the way.

LSS laboratory releases new nozzle wave maker

Click here to view the embedded video.

LSS laboratory releases 8 unique nozzle wave makers. Some of them have some mechanical trick inside of the nozzle which create very unique wave. Some of them have unique nozzle top. The prices are between $18 and $40, so they are really reasonable. LSS laboratory mentioned that you can extend the length of the nozzle, so you can adjust it with your tank.

The LSS video shows each waves with the nozzle, so you can get some idea what a kind of wave they create.
