SOLD OUT Join us for a hands-on aquascaping workshop led by Madalyn Bentz, where you’ll design and build a beautiful shrimp-focused aquarium from start to finish — with expert guidance every step of the way.

This immersive event is perfect for aquascapers and shrimp keepers of all experience levels who want to learn, create, and take home a stunning aquarium.

🌿 Workshop Kit Options

To attend the workshop, participants purchase a Workshop Kit, which includes everything needed to build a complete aquascape during the event. You may choose one of the following aquarium options:

• WIO 45F Shallow Rimless Aquarium (17.7"x10.6"x7.9", 6.4 gal)

• WIO 45P Rimless Aquarium - (17.7"x10.6"x11.8", 10 gal)

Each Workshop Kit includes:

• Hygger Full Spectrum Clip on Light (HG 018 – 14W)

• $75 credit to use during the event toward:

  • Hardscape (wood & rock)

  • Aquatic plants

  • Substrate

You’ll select your materials in-store and aquascape your tank during the workshop with help from Madalyn and the Cuboid staff.

At the end of the night, you’ll take your finished aquarium home with you.

🦐 What You’ll Learn

During the workshop, Madalyn will:

• Review her latest aquascape

• Share design principles and layout techniques

• Provide care and setup guidance for Neocaridina and Caridina freshwater shrimp

• Answer questions throughout the event while assisting participants as they build

This is an interactive, educational experience — not just a demonstration.
