The "Lost Season" Recorded and Written in the Spring of 2024 but not published....Until NOW! Winter 2025

Today we explore the captivating topic of "Aquariums in Gaming." Examining the portrayal of fish and aquariums in video games, uncovering their significance, design intricacies, and the potential impact they have on gamers. With an industry projected to be worth a whopping $282.30bn by 2024 expected to rise to around $363.20bn by 2027 it’s no surprise aquariums have become part of the video game industry.

Today, we embark on a captivating journey into the depths of mystery and legend as we explore stories that have woven themselves into the tapestry of rare fish, aquariums, and lost treasures beneath the waves. The oceans have always been full of mysteries, it’s thought that as humans we’ve only fully explored a mere 5 percent, less than 10 percent has been mapped using sonar technology. It's no wonder then that the mystery of the ocean has been one of curiosity for many throughout the years.

I think it’s well documented of the impact and relationship in keeping fish to a human’s well-being. The concept of incorporating aquariums into spacecraft makes a lot of sense connecting astronauts to earth, it not only offers psychological benefits but potential solutions for life support systems in future missions in space and planetary exploration with the aim for humans to live outside of our planet on planetary bodies such as the moon and our sister planet Mars.

As technology throughout the years has evolved and still continues to develop with “Smarter” ways of improving our life’s and the popularity of “Ai” it seems ever more clear that this creates advancements within the fish keeping hobby, having the ability to control heaters, lights and dosing systems from our phones to technologies to alert us in water parameter changes.

In this episode, we delve into the enchanting concept of a microcosm, where an entire ecosystem flourishes within the glass walls of an aquarium. We explore the diverse and interconnected organisms that contribute to the health and stability of the tank. So, let's dive in and discover the wonders of the microcosm within!
