The Vertex LumiLux LED striplight is a solid Cree-packin’ reef light which we first posted back in May when we first them saw at the Vertex booth at InterZoo. Today we remembered that we’re still sitting on a pile of hands-on pictures of the Lumilux which we’ve yet to completely publish. If you’ll recall, Lumilux [...]
The Slim Skim is an interesting new internal protein skimmer that is constructed with an extremely accessible design. Unlike most protein skimmers on the market which are made from tubes or cones, the Hydor Slim Skim is made from a box with just two sliding panels to help corridor the air towards the cup and [...]
While comparing the new ATI powercone and ATI purple plus T5 lamps to some products we spied at Germany’s InterZoo, we were reminded of this solar powered pH pen we caught disfiguring the side of a perfectly nice trimless tank. The solar powered pH probe from Macro Aqua is an interesting testing device with some [...]
The Sfiligi Vision is a Plasma Arc light fixture which is flanked with four high output T5 fluorescent tubes. The Sfiligoi Vision is the first plasma light we have seen with a decent reflector for the LIFI emitter/burner and it is also the first such light that we’ve seen sporting supplemental lighting to bring the [...]
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 [...]
The Vitrea Orbital LED light is an aquarium fixture with a clear focus on aesthetic and design and as such, the new touchscreen controller Vitrea is releasing follows that motif quite well. While we were at InterZoo we could not find any specific information on Vitrea’s touchscreen controller for the Orbital LED light but we [...]
The Illumina LED light from Vertex is a new high performance reef light which is really taking a dynamic course to growing aquarium corals. Hearkening back to the days of the PFO Solaris and it’s infinite suite of modes and features, The Vertex Illumina is aiming to be a do-it-all LED reef aquarium light with [...]
The Fluval C series power filter has so many filtration stages that it’ll make you think twice about your sump or wet-dry. Ok, we wouldn’t go that far with the C series power filter but even though Hagen has usually put it’s weight behind canister filter products, Hagen still thinks it has some room to [...]
The Multicontrol 8 for AquaRay LED lights is a combination controller-dimmer and power supply all in one. The Multicontrol 8 can support up to eight Aquaray 500 or Aquabeam 500 LED strips, four of the Aquaray or Aquabeam 1000 LED tiles or combinations thereof. Although the Multicontrol 8 can support eight units of TMC’s LED [...]
The NanoSun fromEconlux is a multichip LED spotlight that brings a 15 watt photon engine to the court of reefing. If you’ll recall, Econlux, is the company which made a big showing at InterZoo 2010 with it’s SinglePower 100 watt multichip LED lights and the plug and play PC and T5 lamps which are driven [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The Evo3 Titanium from Genesis is an aquarium device unlike any we have ever seen before. At first glance we mistook the Evo3 for a lost Rube Goldberg device but after watching the Evo3 spin it’s filter roll the whole weekend of InterZoo we can tell you this is one robust device that really works. [...]
Without question, the Mame eco-light is the most serious effort we’ve seen put into an RGB LED aquarium light. In case you may not be familiar, nearly all the high powered LED reef lights are getting their strength from high powered blue and white LEDs. RGB LEDs have no single white LED instead blending red, [...]
The AquasunLED controllable and modular LED light fixture from AquaMedic is a significant departure from AquaMedic’s other LEd light, the AquaspaceLED. Whereas the AquaspcaeLED uses individual reflectors and a heavy duty design, the AquasunLED is a much more refined, attractive residential type of LED aquarium light. The smooth angles and modest heatsinking give the AquasunLED [...]
