Thunderstorm Mode??!! In the comments on our previous post, we had some discussion about the lighting colors and mentioned that our high-tech lighting system offers a range of colors and includes unique features like Thunderstorm mode. This mode creates lightning effects, mimicking storms over the ocean. We received multiple requests to see it in action, so here’s a short video of a brand new aquarium (just got first batch of fish) capturing the Thunderstorm mode! Eli Basch Elie Maron Yossi Brieger
