It’s no secret that we’ve been smitten with the sophisticated chemistry controls first promised by the Libra doser from Vertex Aquaristik.

Vertex Aquaristik is working on some swanky probe holders and nano magnet scrapers

Vertex Aquaristik is working on some new aquarium accessories to help you scrub smaller tanks and to keep probes in place. Since vertex already uses its fair share of titanium in various products, it makes sense that they would use the same titanium screws in a forthcoming magnetic probe holder.
