Diablo DC Variable Speed Water Pumps

Diablo DC Variable Speed Water Pumps
 Diablo DC Variable Speed Water Pumps

The Diablo controllable Direct Current “DC” water pumps are the latest in variable speed flow technology and allows for refined control, enhanced performance and efficiency. The vast majority of circulation pumps available to hobbyist are alternating current "AC" pumps (the type of power that comes out of your wall outlet).  Direct current pumps have several key advantages over traditional AC pumps.  Most notably, you can control the rotational speed of the motor, thus electronically control water flow rates.  DC pumps are also more efficient than AC pumps and produce less heat per volume of flow.
Refined Control
This controller allows users to select between six preset speeds indicated by six green LEDs.  The controller also features a feed button.  When pressed, the pump  safely shuts down and automatically reactivates after 10 minutes.  Press the feed button a second time to resume normal operation. Diablo DC pumps feature a true slow startup where the pump begins at zero RPM and ramps up to the full preset speed over a period of approximately 10 seconds.
The pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union.  The detachable controller will allow for a simple waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90 degree intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.
Features:
  • 6 Controllable Speed Settings
  • Integrated Memory- Remembers its last setting after a power failure!
  • Convenient Feed Button
  • Efficient DC Current
  • Quiet Startup & Operation
  • Detachable Controller with Waterproof Union
  • True Slow Startup
  • For Fresh or Marine Applications

Reef Octopus Pro Open Volute POV Protein Skimmers

Reef Octopus Pro Open Volute POV Protein Skimmers

Reef Octopus Pro Open Volute POV Protein Skimmers

A True Benchmark in Protein Skimmer Performance & Control

The Reef Octopus Professional Open Volute “POV” protein skimmers are the ultimate when it comes to space saver skimmers. The soft start DC pinwheel pump provides both controllable water delivery and air induction to the protein skimmer. This allows users to select from six preset RPMs tune the skimmers performance on push button demand. The pump also features a unique 10 minute feed/service shutoff timer which restarts after 10 minutes. The unique feature of these POV skimmers is the pumps volute is integrated within the body of the skimmer to reduce the amount of space taken up by the skimmer pump.

My Reef Creations MRC Nilsen Kalkwaser Reactors

My Reef Creations MRC Nilsen Kalkwaser Reactors.

How does a Nilson Reactor work?
Nilson reactors are specially designed reactors meant to add “kalkwasser” (a saturated calcium solution) to your tank water. Kalkwasser, also called lime water, has a pH of near 12, so it, in itself, is a caustic substance to our aquarium inhabitants. However, when administered slowly, it will maintain clacium at appropriate levels, and will also help maintain pH at proper levels. Kalkwasser mix is a cheap substance to purchase, and allows calcium addition at a comparaitively lower cost. The counterpoint to this, is that administration has awlays been a tricky matter, always requiring either a labor intensive daily solution administered by “do it yousrelf” adaptations, or “Kalk stirrers”, using old laboratory technologies to mix a chamber.

Why should you buy a MRC Nilsen reactor? Simply put, MRC has brought the Nilsen (kalk) reactor to the 21st Century. Other kalk reactors use cheap parts or materials, or rely on additional equipment to mix the solution. MRC has brought quality and completion to its design. Using a powerful, external pump, the mixing is accomplished in a much more reliable way. These pumps are far more reliable and durable than the pumps used in other kalk mixers. Furthermore, any maintenance or service will be notably easier on this pump. In addition, MRC has included their state of the art digital touchpad timer to control the mixing. Based on usage, you can adjust your pump to mix the solution on any permutation, on a 1 second interval. Simply add kalk powder to the reactor, connect it to your topoff system, and reap the benefits. The MRC Nilsen Reactor will take care of the rest.

MRC Nilsen reactors are designed to perform straight from the box. Using our unique LCD touchpad controller, the aquarist can quickly and easily program the frequency and duration of mixing they desire. Utilizing a powerful, reliable, and easily accessible external blueline pump, The kalkwasser will get thoroughly and properly mixed as needed. The pump easily disconnects from the controller and the reactor to make cleaning and kalk powder addition simple and easy. MRC Nilsen reactors are the most modern, simple, reliable and beautiful Nilsens that are available, bar none!

Available Soon - EcoTech Radion XR30W PRO LED Aquarium Light Fixture

EcoTech Radion XR30W PRO LED Aquarium Light Fixture.

Expanding on the technology found in the standard Radion XR30w model, the Radion XR30w Pro represents the cutting edge in LED technology, power, spectrum and spread.
Utilizing EcoTech’s TIR lenses and outfitted with 42 top-bin LEDs representing eight different colors and running off of six channels, the XR30w Pro delivers unsurpassed full spectral output from 405nm (Ultra Violet) to 660nm (Hyper Red). The XR30w Pro’s premium LED’s provide efficient and precise light output, while six channels of control allow users to adjust each color group individually.
The Radion XR30w Pro:
  • Is ideal for users who want to achieve the highest PAR ratings, have a deep aquarium or want wide light spread with broad spectral coverage.
  • Integrates seamlessly with the existing EcoSmart Live web-based controller platform.
  • Features the same unprecedented modularity found in the base Radion XR30w, allowing for future upgrades and backward compatibility within the entire Radion line.

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. Coordinated night mode, storms and other light- and water-synchronized features are what you can expect from the wireless functionality that comes standard with the Radion.

Battery Backup
The Radion is fully compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup.


In the event of a power outage, lack of light energy over the aquarium results in corals switching from photosynthesis (producing oxygen) to respiration (consuming oxygen). When used with a Battery Backup accessory, the Radion emits low levels of light intended to prevent corals from respiring, and therefore; your Radion will help to maintain an oxygen-rich environment for your fish during this critical time period.

EcoSMART Live

Wouldn’t it be cool if the Radion communicated wirelessly with other Radion units. Well, it does – through EcoSMART Live. Lighting control is now in the cloud.
Thanks to the controller’s web interface (compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and more), Radion owners can enjoy EcoSMART’s cutting-edge controls and user-friendly design on any device with an internet connection.
Say goodbye to installing software and searching for updates. EcoSMART Live allows you to control your Radion right from your web browser. New features are implemented automatically, with no work for the user.

TIR Lenses

The Radion XR30w Pro features EcoTech Marine’s new Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, which directs more of each LED cluster’s output directly into in your tank. TIR lenses boost peak PAR levels by up to 45% and total (average) PAR levels by up to 23% – without sacrificing spread or consuming additional power.


Features:

* 34 energy-efficient LEDs
* Fully adjustable for growth and appeal
* Output optimized for PAR
* Wide light spread
* Minimal color banding
* Fully upgradeable
* Modular LED cluster, lens and driver assemblies
* Capacitive touch exterior controls
