I have caught the bug of adult coloring books and had a handful of them before getting this one. I am a big animal person, and I have a couple aquariums in my home. I was really excited to check out this Aquarium Depot - The Amazing Reef Coloring Book out. The cover says Amazing Reef and the cover is amazing but the coloring book not so much. First the pictures don't fill the pages, they look like they were copied on a home printer, the print is kind of light to... like a printer that's running out of toner. The pictures kind of look like photographs with the color stripped. This left me disappointed. This is something I give to my stepkids to color. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. All opinions are my own.
I love marimo balls. They are basically a round algae/moss ball. They are very easy to care for. They are nice decorative pieces in fish aquariums and also can be placed in vase or other decorative glass ware for decoration. I have seen some really cool terrariums made with marimos. Included with with purchase were 3 larger marimo balls and 1 small one. The larger ones are decent sized. I put 2 of them in a one gallon aquarium that I have a couple baby cichlids in. The smaller on is really small and I put that along with one of the other ones in a terrarium. Before putting them in my aquarium and terrarium I ran them under water and squished them a little. They floated for a few hours and then sank. I have had them a couple weeks and they are still looking healthy.
