We've added a pile of new substrates including several different kinds of gravel, aquarium soil, coated gravel, and glass beads. And if you thought we couldn't make a ridiculous trailer about dirt & rocks, you thought wrong. I'd say how many we're adding, but I am writing this a couple days in advance and there might be a couple more that'll make their way in before the update goes live. At least 19.

Not only are new substrates available, but you can have as many different substrates in a tank as you like and layer them on top of one another. Create sand art, differentiate biomes; tons of possibilities!
COMING SOON: non-inert substrates will have significant interplay with water chemistry.
Along with this update, and for a LIMITED TIME ONLY, we've got a pile of summer hardscape. Skulls with sunglasses (why not), shells, beach balls & more. These will only be available during the summer sale, but once you have them, you've got'em forever!
We can't wait to see your new tanks!!!
Our game is a labor of love & a passion project. Please tell your friends, join our discord, wishlist and stay tuned for more!
