Brightwell Aquatics NeoMarine Reef & Marine Salt Mix

Product Information
As you have read on the outside of this container of NÄ“oMarine, we make the claim that it is so close in composition to natural seawater that marine organisms cannot tell the difference. How can we make this claim if the product does not provide every element present in natural seawater?
The answers are not as complicated as one might think, and may be addressed in three separate but very important aspects: 1.) the nature of the elements present; 2.) their concentrations with respect to average natural seawater parameters; 3.) the quality of ingredients utilized and the means in which the salt is produced. These points are addressed individually below.

JBJ TRUE-TEMP Digital Controller with Titanium Heater Elements

JBJ introduces the TRUE TEMP digital heater controller, the most accurate and precise controller in the aquarium industry. The all new TRUE TEMP boasts amazing +/- 0.5 F accuracy, a calibration setting, smart memory chip, LED heating indicator, and a large constant LED display of the current temperature.
Maintaining the correct temperature for tropical fish may be the single most imporatant factor for a successful aquarium. Since fish do not have the ability to regulate their own body temperature, it is crucial that we can provide consistent water temperatures with minimal fluctuations.
Majority of fish cannot cope with stress from constant temperature fluctuations, which leads to a compromised immune system. This increases the probability of avoidable diseases, parasites, and bacterial infections.
