Now available in the US, Aquacare Turbo Chalk Reactors are arguably the most efficient and bizarre looking calcium reactors available. Taking a different approach, Aquacare measures CO2, not PH in controlling CO2 input. They also have a separate Magnesium chamber and Neutralization chamber to prevent PH suppression so common with other reactors. Many have found these […]
Digital Aquatics has begun accepting pre-orders for it’s highly anticipated Reef Keeper Elite controller. If you were worried about web connectivity, don’t be; Digital Aquatics announced their RKM-Net module that will allow the Reef Keeper Elite to connect to the internet. Here’s a link the Digital Aquatics Site for more purchase information.
We’ll be following up […]
BCXSY has done something I’ve always dreamed of doing, they’ve created what may be the first multi-faceted aquarium. The angular form creates a mirror effect, generating a real cubist image.
The angles remind us greatly of one our our favorite artists DAIM. If you don’t know who DAIM is (pronounced “dime”) check his work out.
We […]
Fans can be a great tool to cool your reef and eliminate the need of a costly chiller. Unfortunately, there are not very many fan options out there that fit in with rimless tanks. There are the profilux aluminums and azoo clip ons…but they are a bit distracting.
We found this Aquawind fan made by Tunze […]
I must admit we haven’t paid must attention to Vortech’s due to our needs. I’ve used Tunze’s in the past and I suppose we’re just comfortable with them… with that said the MP20 may change that. Check your favorite online stores, many are taking pre-orders.
At $295 that are not “cheap” but they will hit the […]
Proline is smart. Very smart. Knowing height restrictions under stands is always a problem they came up with this screw drive zeovit reactor to release the mulm from the zeolites. (They can turn in both directions to eliminate jams.) The 1.5L and 3L models are only 18″ tall, with the 5L at 23″ making a comfortable […]
With out digging deeply into the scientific area of this, the goal of bacterioplankton systems such as Carbon dosing, Prodibio, Ultralith and Zeovit is to grow bacteria in order to consumer phosphates and nitrates, which are then exported via a protein skimmer. This can be achieved with simple carbon dosing such as sugar, or more […]
We eventually would like to build our own rimless sump, but for the time being we decided to go with a AGA 15g aquarium to convert. Our return pump will be an Eheim 1250. With the head loss it will be pumping about 200gph. That may seem like very little, but it means quiet operation, less […]
For those of you using bac driven systems such as Ultra or Zeo, do you know what your Potassium levels are at?Potassium has recently become a hot topic as K depletion is resulting in drab colors and dried out tissue in SPS in these systems.
After some not so good reviews on the Zeovit kit, Fauna […]
Here are some photos from today. Our point and shoot also has a difficult time with the intensity of the light, we’ll try and get better pics up asap. The corals are all a bit dull from the front from the change in lighting angle, but they will color up with time. We added the second metal […]
Zeovit has shipped out it’s latest additive, Pohl’s Xtra. Users are reporting increased growth and more vivid coloration. All major zeo dealers should be carrying the item soon. At $30 for 250ml’s it may be worth considering. [Aquarium Specialty has it in stock] If you’re considering going full blown zeo, now may be the time. ZeovitUSA is […]
Here are some pics of the tank on the base being illuminated by a blue spot light. More photos on there way as it fills up. We apologize for the blurry photos, we were a bit excited.
