The new pipe-less skimmer by CAD lights is definitely a shakeup in skimmer design, and a heck of a space saver. Any design that reduces skimmer footprint is progress of skimmer evolution, as it will lead to incorporating larger skimmers into smaller sumps and cabinets. But the question is, does the PLS-100 skim well and Read More

The CAD Lights Pipeless skimmer is one of the more unique and unusual protein skimmer designs to surface in quite some time. Although we’ve known about the Pipeless for some a little while it’s only now that we have uncovered how the new skimming creation from CAD Lights performs this feat. Before even seeing it we mostly assumed Read More

The Conic Bio Reactor from CAD Lights is an interesting biopellet mixer which has one special trick up its conical sleeve – a three-way valve that allows adjustment of water through the reactor without affecting the tumbling of the biopellets. If you are curious to learn how this three-way valve performs its witchcraft, check out Read More

It’s been barely two months since CAD Lights released their Conic BioReactor, yet they have so much feedback from power users of biopellets that they’ve come up with an ingenious solution for fine tuning flow through, tumbling, and feed water to the protein skimmer. Using an inline three-way ball valve, it is now possible to Read More

The CONIC Bio-Reactor from CAD Lights is a thoughtfully designed aquarium devices which is a lot more than just a nozzle in a tube. Like the CPR media reactors, the CONIC Bio-Reactor is endowed with a primary forceful flow to aggressively stir the solid carbon dosing biopellets and a secondary rhythmic motion that helps to Read More
