New line of Continuum AquaBlade Scrapers

Continuum AquaBlade Scrapers

 Take a good clean view of the new line of scrapers we carry!

By utilizing virgin plastic in the molding process instead of re-grind or recycled plastics, the AquaBlade is much stronger and more agile than other scrapers. The first time you pick up an AquaBlade you’ll notice the difference it makes. It feels strong and durable — perfect for work inside your aquarium.
White Plastic

Allows you to see the scraper more easily through darker algae. This means you don’t miss any spots the first time around the aquarium.
The AquaBlade cyan blade was created by testing countless different types of plastics and plastic blends. The results are a special self lubricating plastic that is softer than acrylic, so it will not scratch acrylic*. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, the AquaBlade metal blade is both strong and rust resistant so removing that stubborn coralline algae is a breeze.

Compatibility built-in

100% Backwards compatible with previous units. Our scraper fits the old blades, our blades fit the old scraper.

*** LIMITED TIME ONLY ***
CONTINUE TO SAVE $100 on ECOTECH RADION XR30W GEN2 LED LIGHT FIXTURES

Wireless Enabled
Wouldn’t it be cool if the Radion communicated wirelessly with other Radion units and coordinated with other EcoTech equipment?
Well, it does. Radion lights will communicate with any EcoSmart “w” enabled VorTech pumps in addition to any future equipment designed to work on the EcoSmart platform.

AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER - COMING FALL 2013 - Neptune Systems AFS Automatic Feeding System

Neptune Systems AFS Automatic Feeding System
Great things happen when you combine the functionality of our proven Apex AquaController and the mechanics of a great autofeeding mechanism. It has long been known that feeding smaller amounts, more often, is the most successful way to feed your fish and corals. With the Neptune Systems AFS – Automatic Feeding System, you get just that ability. Not only that, it makes the perfect option to have on your Apex when you go on vacation – no more overfeeding by friends and family! In fact, you can even set up the feeding with other parameters you may already be monitoring in your tank like ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential). This way, you prevent feedings if your ORP is too low thus preventing further polluting your tank water.
 Additional AFS features and benefits:
  • Feeds pellet or flake food in varying amounts Apex can be set so that the AFS will feed from one time to as many times as you like throughout the day
  • Connects via the Apex Aquabus “Stay Dry” system has a sealed food container that extends and retracts for each feeding. This keeps food dry and prevents clumping and clogging.
  • The lowest setting feeds just a few grains of pellet food so multiple small feedings are possible
  • Allows for optimal feeding — small amounts many times a day
  • Feedings can be combined with other operations such as powering off return pumps, skimmer, etc. and then automatically turning them back on after a set amount of time.
  • Adjustable mounting clip extends up to two inches (or velcro can be used) so it will work in almost every aquarium configuration.
  • Includes 110V or 220V power transformer.
  • Includes 10′ AquaBus-mini Cable Compatible with the Apex, Apex Lite, and Apex Jr. AquaControllers.
  • Multiple feeders can be daisy-chained together so that you can have more feed for extended periods away from home or if you want to feed two different kinds of foods.

We Love the Visible Spectrum - It Just Isn't Big Enough

The Hydra fills the visible light spectrum with light to spare. We set the standard in LEDs, and have taken our years of experience and customer feedback to provide an even wider spectral output with the AI Hydra by adding 415nm Violet and 400nm UV LEDs to the mix.

It Blends

The Hydra uses proprietary 80 degree lenses to provide uniform light output and color blending. Our latest lens design utilizes the same TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optical design while incorporating a diffuse exit surface to optimize color blending.
*Optional 50 degree lenses are available for those needing more penetration.

NEW - Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper ELITE TITANIUM System, Limited Edition

Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper ELITE TITANIUM System, Limited Edition

Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper ELITE TITANIUM System, Limited Edition

The ReefKeeper Elite is true to its name, standing alone in the industry as the most innovative aquarium controller on the market. With the most intuitive interface and easy to use system controls, you'll find it will simplify all aspects of your aquarium system that it controls. There's also no need to find a power outlet near the head unit as there's no power cord needed; power is provided right from the bus.
The compact and convenient design, multiple mounting options and great looks makes the ReefKeeper Elite right for almost any installation; and without any unsightly probe wires dangling about, the head unit will add a touch of class to any tank!

The ReefKeeper is the most expandable controller we know of, allowing the control of over 250 outlets. It has the capability of reading more probes and input devices than even the most demanding system will ever need. All this makes the RKE suitable for tanks from 1 to 10,000 gallons and beyond.

One of the biggest advantages of the RKE system is what it comes with! Other controllers leave you wanting and having to purchase add-ons just to get them to a usable level. The RKE system includes two PC4s; that's 8 outlets to control! You also get an SL1 that will allow you to monitor pH, ORP, temperature and two switches; not to mention a free temperature probe and pH probe. All this for hundreds of dollars less than other controllers that barely give you enough to get started.

Package Contents:

1 x ReefKeeper Titanium Head Unit (GC1)
2 x PC4 (total of 8 outlets) 
1 x SL1 (Inputs: pH, ORP, Temperature, 2 x Switch Ports) 
1 x NET 
1 x Temperature probe
1 x Digital Aquatics pH probe
1 x Switch Adapter Kit 
1 x SID - System Interface Device
1 x 6' Bus Cable
1 x 3' Bus Cable
1 x 1' Bus Cable
1 x 7' CAT5 Ethernet Cable
10 x Mounting Screws

Ethernet Capable
Because the ReefKeeper Elite is a modular system we have the ability to develop new features as time goes on. One feature that we've been defining is an Ethernet module that will allow users to take advantage of their home networks and the World Wide Web. Digital Aquatics is dedicated to producing quality products at great prices! This module is still under development and we're working on every aspect of it to reduce cost to you and NOT compromise safety and functionality. More to come on this optional module.

Wireless Communication
While a USB connection for your ReefKeeper Elite is needed for updates to firmware, nobody wants an unsightly wire running from their ReefKeeper to their PC. This will offer a Zigbee like wireless network experience. While we're not ready to release all the details, our wireless module will give you freedoms and abilities that other systems just can't offer. More to come on this optional module.

Upgradeability
The RKE also has upgradeable firmware so your controller can grow with your system; and firmware updates are always free!

NEW - Advanced 11 button CapSense interface By expanding from the traditional 3 button interfaces of the past we have given the user a more intuitive interface to navigate with. The RK Elite menu, programming, and viewing systems take full advantage of the new interface providing an all around easier experience.

NEW - 128 x 64 Graphical display) The RK Elite utilizes a graphical display that allows us to display status icons, data graphs, and a variety of information in a way that has not been possible before.

NEW - More than 250 Programmable Channels
One of the highlights of the RK Elite system is its ability to control over 250 outlets. While most people will never need that many outlets, some will. Our goal is to be forward thinking and give your new system the freedom to grow.

Multiple Mounting Options Like the RK1 and RK2 the RK Elite provides for multiple mounting options like flush mount and surface mount. While other controllers are big and awkward to mount needing unstable Velcro or unsightly restraints the RKE will add a touch of class to your system. Let face it, we all work hard to keep our tanks looking good and the RKE will be a great addition!

NEW - Home Screen (w/easy to read icons and data)
The new Home Screen provides you with quick information that is well laid out and easy to read. Icons provide you the current state of your system while you can quickly scroll through all the data for your tank with the touch of a button. Keeping tabs on your tank has never been easier!

Simple menu system for easy configuration We've worked hard to try and make the interface as simple and intuitive as possible for the RK Elite. With the advantage of the new interface we're able to really produce a one of a kind experience.

Night Mode - Independently Programmable Our Night Mode feature allows the RK Elite to change depending on the time of day. In Night Mode the RK Elite can activate your Moon Light Controller, dim your display, transitioning your tank into a calm state.

NEW - 63 Alarms
With 63 alarms and an audible and visual alert you'll know when any of your critical system parameters are out of range.

NEW - Data Logging The RK Elite has onboard data logging for up to 32 probes/device with over 1000 data points each.

NEW - Data Graphing
With our new graphical head unit comes the ability to really display historic data the right way. Our dynamic graphing will help you track the performance of your system over time allowing you to quickly see when and where things are happening.

Metal Halide control with "Sure-On"
Just like the RK1 and RK2 the RK Elite system will make sure your Metal Halide bulbs come back on after a power interruption. Sure-On is a 15 minute delay that gives these expensive and sensitive bulbs time to cool which insures safe, continuing usage over time.

NEW - Light Timer with Weekday/Weekend schedules and safety temp cut off New to the light timer is the ability to set different lighting modes for weekdays and weekends. This gives you the option of setting a lighting cycle that caters to your viewing schedule as it changes throughout the week. You still have our safety cut off temp that will shut your lights down if your tank gets above some set point.

Moon Light Controller (optional) With the optional MLC the RK Elite system can simulate a true lunar cycle. Read more on the RKM-MLC in that section.

NEW - Multi-timer function The multi-timer is all new. You're now able to stack up to four unique timers to create any on/off cycles you would like. This is great for dosing and other scheduled tasks that don't happen on a regular interval or for creating your own special cycle based on your needs.

NEW - 63 Dedicated Timers There are 63 advanced timers you can program and with the Multi-timer you can mix and match them in any fashion you'd like to get even more complex functions.

NEW - 2 Standby/Feed/Service modes The RK Elite also sports two user settable standby functions. This gives you the flexibility to configure multiple service modes for activities like feeding, water changes, and other maintenance.

Control Functions The new "Controller" function can take any probe input and act on it with a user settable hysteresis. This includes pH, ORP, temperature and micro switches just for starters. You can also take action based on current draw or load on any PC4 and you'll be able use any future probes that are added to the system!

Sumps/Skimmers pump control You can program the sump pump and skimmer pump functions to be off in standby and even have a standby delay just to make sure your system doesn't overflow or over skim food after a feeding.

Wavemaker A/B and C/D pump control We've expanded our old wavemaker control to include a "D" mode. Now you can set up multiple pairs of power heads to get all the turbulent flow you need!

NEW - Top-off pump control Use this setting to control a pump based on a micro switch for top-off and many other features.

NEW - Key Lock Lock out unwanted and accidental usage of your RK Elite. With a simple lock, you can make sure the kids, your friends or anyone else doesn't mess with your controller.

Battery Backup The battery in the RK Elite is user serviceable. If it ever goes dead it can be replaced without the need for service.

NEW - Audible Feedback Also new to the RK Elite is audible feedback. You can turn this feature on or off depending on your preference.

Splash-proof Faceplate Wet fingers aren't a problem with our full covering face plate.

Upgradeable Firmware Like the RK2 before it the RK Elite has upgradeable firmware. This will help you maintain your investment over time and allow you it grow as we release more and more expandability!

 Skimz Leopard’s Integrated Inverted Cone (IIC) channel bubbles to the outer side of the chamber to achieve optimal skimming performance. This significantly reduces surface agitation, thus creating superb foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer. Skimz VSC (variable speed control) DC pumps are completely controllable, the air intake and water throughput can be adjusted via the controller. Protein skimmers can now take full advantage of variable speed pump technology to control the speed (RPM) of the pump.
