Getting out into the field to explore world-class marine habitats is always a thrill! 🇯🇵 This summer, we had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with our friends at the Tokyo Sea Life Aquarium, and we just had to share the experience with you!

​Seeing this vibrant, thriving aquatic display up close is mesmerizing. The colors and activity are spectacular, giving you that same exhilarating rush as dropping into the ocean for a dive! 🤿

​Ever wonder what it takes to keep a massive public aquarium running smoothly? Check out our exclusive look at the heavy-duty equipment, intense lighting rigs, massive filtration holding vats, and sprawling maintenance gangways that keep these habitats pristine. ⚙️

Whether you’re managing a commercial facility or maintaining your own reef tank, having reliable equipment and staying on top of your maintenance schedule is key to a thriving ecosystem.

If you need to dial in your routine, our Q2 issue offers some excellent maintenance tips– and our advertising partners (that keep RHM free for readers like you🙌) are the perfect place to start for all your at-home equipment needs. From filter media cups to lighting and skimmers, our advertising partners offer all the goods!

​What does your filtration and maintenance setup look like? Let us know in the comments! 👇💧
