Before proceeding, set aside all previous thoughts of aquarium lighting; No more spaceships or alien abduction machines. Vitrea has created what I would argue is the sexiest aquarium light yet. Of course it is meant for the freshies, they always seem to be a step ahead of the marine side of the hobby when it [...]

The new Jet is being marketed as a “Utility Pump”, yet [...]
Aqua Medic showed off their new Blue Line of skimmers and filters. Taking note from the DIY Reefer’s choice- Enkamat mesh, they have flattened it between a Needlewheel washer. Aqua Medic also showed their new Blue Reef Sump filtration system. Special thanks to Sebastien for the photos.
Tropical Marine Center (TMC) introduced some new exciting products in Germany last month. Popular in the UK, we wouldn’t mind seeing some of these come to our side of the pond. Photos as marked, are property of Sebastien Person Bernis of Clam34.
To go along with LED theme at the show, TMC showed their new Aqua [...]
As we covered in Korallen Zucht’s InterZoo release, they have created a hang on the back cone skimmer. Due to size it looks to be using a venturi injector, and not a becket like larger models. Also note the bubble plate.
KZ is rating the skimmer for up to 700L or 185 US Gallons. Judging by [...]

This photo from InterZoo was taken by our friend [...]

The makers of Bubble King continue to impress. We currently only have info regarding the RD2, and are waiting for reports of the new SuperMarin 300.

Eheim
Eheim pumps are known for the quality and quietness; and now any reefer can buy a complete stock NW skimmer pump manufactured by Eheim. The reverse NW or closed NW design is similar to the new H&S NW. We have confidence in Eheim that the Compact will perform, but we do miss the classic Eheim look [...]
About one month back we did a post on the new MP20 Vortech made by Eco Tech, which made its public debut today in Germany. Our readers made us aware of a few problems on the MP40 so we were hesitant on both the 20 and 40. However, most of our fears have been calmed [...]

First is the Zenith. I am not [...]
Jesse of Elos USA snapped these photos of the new Elos System Mini and e-lite LED clamp on pendent. While we do like the slim nature and choice of materials…we have doubts regarding the intensity of the e-lite; certainly looking forward to PAR tests. We also like the all white pedestal stand… but we’ll gladly [...]
InterZoo, a large trade show dedicated to the care of pets, is where the European heavy weights in the marine aquaria hobby release there latest and greatest.
