Taking in the grandeur of InterZoo 2010 through this video slideshow

With all of the InterZoo reporting we’ve done in the last month of posting, many of you are aware that InterZoo is a big show with tons of new products. What you probably haven’t been able to imagine is the grand scale of this show and the enormous booths that exhibiting companies erect to display [...]

Hands on with the Quazar LED striplight from Giesemann

Giesemann’s Quazar LED is possibly one of the most attractive aquarium LED striplights tha we have yet seen. We had a chance to manhandle one of their Giesemann’s first couple prototype Quazar LED lights at InterZoo several weeks back and we were definitely smitten by the look of the light. The shiny, candy painted shell [...]

Potential Korallen Zucht KZ LED light demoed at their InterZoo booth

The KZ LED is not a product we expected to see from Korallen Zucht at InterZoo a few weeks back. The famous creators of the Zeovit method are better known for exotic additives in funky blue bottles and exotic protein skimmers made in funky orange colors. So when we saw this Italian made LED light [...]

Sfiligoi Astra ultra-flat design LED reef light

The Astra LED light fixture made by Sfiligoi was one of the more attractive and eye-catching fixtures that we saw in the clamp-on light category at InterZoo 2010. The fiber-optic side accent is novel and the profile of the fixture is significantly thinner than many other clamp on LED lights we’ve seen. But all that [...]

Video of the X-inout in action at the Xaqua InterZoo booth

X-aqua X-Inout device  instantly struck us as one of the most innovative and potentially very popular marine aquarium products of InterZoo 2010. The X-inout looks inocuous enough but something about the fluid dynamics of the return part of the device causes the pressurized return to pulse without the use of any moving parts or a [...]

The Helios LED + T5 hybrid from Giesemann is drop dead gorgeous

The Helios LED + T5 hybrid reef aquarium light from Giesemann was arguably one of the sharpest looking new lights unveiled at InterZoo this past weekend. Price and specifications we have none; like their lighting products, the Giesemann booth was one of the most attractive and inviting and every time we went to ask Axle [...]

Aquasunspot LED spotlights from Aquamedic in 3, 7 and 12 watts

The Aquasunspot LED lamps from AquaMEdic are a nod from the resurging aquarium manufacturer that they are taking LEDs seriously and they are inviting the spotlight form factor to the party. The Aquasunspot LED spotlights use all one watt LEDs that are available in combinations of three, seven and twelve watts, the smallest of which [...]

AquaSpaceLED from AquaMedic is built with 120 individual reflectors

The AquaspaceLED is a long awaited LED lighting product from AquaMedic, a company which did it’s share to popularize the last revolution in double ended metal halide lighting. The AquaspaceLED is equipped with an overall heatsink of a fixture, 120 x 1 watt LEDs which are each riding their own individual reflector. The AquaspceLED is [...]

Red Sea Max 500 unveiled at InterZoo 2010

The Red Sea Max 500 is a new all in one reef aquarium from the company that delivered on the popular Red Sea Max 130 and 250 setups. Since InterZoo 2010 hasn’t quite officially begun yet, details on the Red Sea Max 500 are scant but we have seen that the tank includes a chiller [...]

The New Skimz Monzter “E Series” Protein Skimmer

Skimz new Monzter “E Series” protein skimmers are being released at Interzoo 2010. These new skimmers look very slick in their computer-generated designs and will come in either external or internal models. In fact, there are several features that look very similar to the new Deltec skimmers we’ve seen last year. What seems to be [...]
