Digital Aquatics Salinity Probe w/Calibration Solution


The Digital Aquatics conductivity probe is a new robust design. It allows for good water flow pass the electrode as well as easy cleaning. With a long life the probe should last for many years if cared for and kept clean.

Technology
The Digital Aquatics salinity probe is equipped with the ability to provide full temperature compensation. This is built into every Digital Aquatics salinity probe and provide superior monitoring over a range of applications.

Requirements
The new conductivity probe requires the RKM-SL2 module. This new module has the salinity port for this probe Both the ReefKeeper Elite and ReefKeeper Lite will be able to interface with this probe when it is released.

SL2 Probe Expansion Module by Digital Aquatics


SL2 Probe Expansion Module by Digital Aquatics is finally available.

The RKM-SL2 is the newest System Lab module from Digital Aquatics. It's a big leap forward with fully (and individually,) isolated ph and salinity ports. On top of that, the Digital Aquatics salinity probe is equipped with full digital temperature compensation built in! This make it easy to calibrate and ideal for testing a variety of tanks. Whether you're mixing for a water change, monitoring your main system, checking up on a quarantine or frag tank the SL2 with conductivity probe will report a true and accurate value!

The SL2 also allows for another temperature probe to be added to the system for redundant monitoring as well as two more switch inputs; great for ATO systems or leak detectors.

The DA salinity probe is nearly 30% more cost effective than competitive options and when cared for and kept clean our probe will last for many years. Great quality and value is part of our commitment!

Aquarium Systems launch NeWave High Flow Circulation Pump / Powerhead

The makers of Visitherm and Maxijet have launched a new range of aquarium pumps / high flow powerheads called NewWave.

Called NeWave powerhead, they have high outputs yet low power consumption, and can used in both fresh and salt water aquariums.

Six models make up the range of powerheads, with outputs from 750 - 6700lph, and energy consumption from 2.5-10.9 watts.

The pumps are mounted using a suction cup and feature a ball joint bracket which Aquarium Systems say makes for easy adjustable positioning.

The smallest model, the NeWave 1000 has an adjustable flow from 750-1400lph, making it suitable for nano reefs, and all models come with a three year guarantee.

First Glimpse of Fluval G3 and G6 Canister Filters

Hagen announced last week that the Fluval G series filter would be first seen this week at the Hagen Germany and UK shows this week, September 4th and 6th respectively. So now, in anticipation of that launch, we’d like to offer some background information on the G series and how it came to be.
Over 2 years ago, Hagen and Fluval set an incredibly ambitious goal to develop and create the perfect aquarium filter So over those 2 years via an independent research agency, Hagen held numerous consumer focus groups around the world, conducted online surveys and spoke to hundreds of retailers and fishkeeping experts. The point of this massive investment in consumer research was to understand what the modern aquarist expects from an ideal filter. While aquarium filter technology has not changed in a major way in the last 20 years, that is all about to change as the Fluval G will launch aquarium filtration into the 21st century.
want to clean the filter you can do it under two minutes, and if you want to replace the cartridge you can do it in under 20 seconds."

Phyto2 Live Photoplankton

Phyto2 Phytoplankton is a pure species of plankton suspended in purified sterile seawater. In order appreciate what this means we must first understand how Phytoplankton competes in the ocean When Phytoplankton encounters other species of Phytoplankton, it reacts by releasing poisons to kill the other species which in turn kills itself. When you concentrate and combine different species of Phytoplankton in a closed container it competes and at some point poisons the bottle, not only limiting shelf life but reducing nutritional value.* Isochrysis Galbana
