Browsing eBay recently I came across this 1920 Art Deco aquarium and my jaw dropped. This 68"H x 75"W x 22"D gorgeous aquarium is in excellent condition for its age. I immediately contacted Antiquarian Traders for more information. Mark Slotkin tells me in his 35 years of being an antique dealer, he has never come across an aquarium like this. He runs his business out of Beverly Hills so that says a lot. As with all old aquariums, you would need to redo the glass and seals. But just look at it. This would be a stunning reef aquarium. Somebody buy this now. Please.

Here is a quick sneak peek at Innovative Marine's popular LED Skkye light tablet in newly minted white color which will be available at most retailers in 3 weeks. Innovative Marine is meeting the demand created by their white Nuvo aquariums as the Skkye has been previously only available in black. Getting a close look at Reef-A-Palooza, I was impressed with the quality of IM products. The Skkye tablets are very nice low profile (1.5" thick) LED lamps. 30 watt and 92 watt versions are available in 10k and 14k with moonlights as well. The 92 watt also has dawn/dusk options. More specs attached and below. Promo prices for the white tablet will start at $299.

The JBJ Unibody LED aquarium lamp is just around the corner and appears to have been given some more polish since we saw the prototypes at MACNA earlier this year. This slick nano LED lamp is the first effort of the Nanocustom's designer working for JBJ. On close inspection you will recognize the copious amount of aluminum and CNC manufacturing. More is found on the beautiful Duo 700 driver with channel sliders. The Unibody is controller ready out of the box with color temps from 65000k - 20000k. Specs and more pics below.

Not sure how I got on the Zhongshan OSMO lighting company email list but check out these LED gatling guns marketed as "Street/Garden lights." This has to be pushing the amount of LEDs you can stuff on an E27 nipple and a perverse amount of aluminum heatsink. You have to admire the attitude. With a maximum color temp of 7000k, these oddities won't have many applications over a reef aquarium. Perhaps nestled between some vertical algae mats in an algae scrubber. Or just put them on a spinning base and bust out the Iron Butterfly.
