What a wonderful evening. Watching the kids dig into the substrate, carefully place their wood and rocks, and shape their very first underwater worlds was pure magic. You could see the wonder on their faces as each tank came to life. That spark is exactly what makes this hobby so special.

A huge thank you to Jamie and Adam from Aquarium Info and Mark from MJ Aquascaping for guiding our young aquascapers with such patience and warmth. You turned a handful of stones and driftwood into living art, and you gave these children a memory they will carry for years.

Nights like this plant the seed for the next generation of hobbyists. Thank you for being part of it, and for helping our smallest builders discover the joy of creating their own piece of nature. A special thank you to Seachem Laboratories, Inc for sponsoring the event. Your continued support of this hobby makes evenings like this possible.

Thank You

What a night to remember. Watching Mark from MJ Aquascaping create a true piece of living art was something special. Even better was seeing your children dig into the substrate, place their wood and rocks, and build their very first underwater worlds alongside Mark, Jamie, and Adam from Aquarium Info. That joy on their faces is exactly why we do this.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Seachem Laboratories, Inc for their deep and lasting commitment to this hobby and this industry. Sue, thank you for everything you do. Your dedication does not go unnoticed. And to the entire Zooxae team, thank you for making the evening possible. None of it happens without you.

As aquascaping continues to grow and evolve, it matters that we recognize the companies and people who have shaped it. Seachem is one of them. Their dedication has been steady and true. They have invested in aquarists through workshops, seminars, and partnerships with talented aquascapers like Mark from MJ Aquascaping, helping all of us learn and get better at what we love.

Thank you again to Mark from MJ Aquascaping, Jamie and Adam from Aquarium Info, and our good friends at KaveMan Aquatics and Infinity Aquariums. Your passion is contagious, and it filled the room all night.

Nights like this remind us how much our local fish stores matter. They are where the hobby lives and grows. They inspire the next generation of hobbyists and keep this wonderful pastime thriving in our community. Please keep supporting them.

And let's not forget what these little tanks really give us. In Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv writes about nature deficit disorder and how easily we lose our connection to the natural world. Every aquarium is a small window back to nature, right in our homes. Tonight, we opened a few more of those windows together.

Thank you all for being part of it. If you have any questions or need help with anything, please reach out to the Zooxae staff anytime. We are always happy to help.

We’ve got two really fun aquascaping events coming up, and we’d love to see you there! 🌿🐠

Seachem/Zooxae Aquascaping Demo:

Zooxae and Seachem are welcoming MJ Aquascaping all the way from the Netherlands for a live aquascaping demonstration!

Come watch MJ build an aquascape from start to finish, pick up some new ideas, ask questions, and hang out with others who enjoy the hobby.

We’ll also have a tour of Zooxae’s coral facility, giveaways, and food trucks from 6 PM to 8 PM.

Admission is $20 for the first family member and $5 for each additional family member. You’ll also receive that money back as a Zooxae Gift Card when you arrive. The first family member gets a $20 gift card, and each additional family member gets a $5 gift card.

Kids Aquascaping Workshop:

We’ve got something for the kids too! 🐠🌱

This hands-on workshop will be hosted by Jamie of Aquarium Info and co-hosted by MJ Aquascaping. Together, they’ll guide the kids through the process, share tips along the way, and help each young aquascaper create something they can be proud of.

Kids will get to build their very own aquascape using real wood, rocks, and substrate. No experience is needed. Just bring some curiosity and creativity, and we’ll take care of the rest.

The workshop is $30 per child, and every kid goes home with their own complete 2.5-gallon aquarium setup, including lighting, hardscape, and substrate.

The setup and equipment have a $120 retail value, so they’ll leave with everything they need to keep enjoying their new hobby at home.

Whether you want to watch a world-class aquascaper at work or give your kids a chance to build their first aquascape, we hope you’ll join us!

Just in from Indonesia! 🇮🇩🐠

We've unpacked an incredible new coral shipment this week, and it's packed with some absolute standouts.

You'll find:
🌈 Rainbow Lobos with amazing multi-color patterns
✨ Rainbow Goniopora with vibrant, flowing polyps
🔥 Acanthophyllia in some seriously rare color morphs

Right now they're settling into the farm while we monitor them closely to make sure they're healthy, happy, and ready for their new homes.

Starting next week, they'll be available in our WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) section online and at the farm, so the coral you choose is the exact one you'll take home.

Keep an eye on our page! You won't want to miss these! 👀
