BioGlo: Bioluminescent Aquarium
BioGlo is a Bioluminescent Aquarium is an aquarium that maximizes visibility and interaction with one of nature’s most beautiful phenomena: bioluminescence.
The BioGlo contains hundreds of tiny microbes, called dinoflagellates. These dinos have the natural ability to absorb the sun’s rays during the day and emit a mysterious blue glow when shaken at night.
Enjoy BioGlo’s three engagement modes:
