Over the past few years, light emitting diodes (LED) have rapidly been replacing fluorescent tubes in the aquarium market. LED lighting have the advantage of providing aquariums with perfect lighting conditions, whilst consuming far less energy than conventional light sources. In addition the lifespan of LED lamps is several times longer than fluorescent lamps. This is a huge saving because there is no need for frequent replacement.
However all LED aquarium lamps have the same problem that over time, some of the diodes will die. Aquael the leading manufacturer of LED lighting fixtures for aquariums, have developed a new and innovative self-repair technology system to provide an effective solution to this problem.
In Aquael’s SUNNY version of LED lamps, if a diode stops working, its functions are taken over by the adjacent diodes, which start emitting light with increased power. Thanks to this unique and innovation technology, even after the failure of individual L.. [More]

Ranging from R1600 for the Aquael Shrimpet Smart 10 aquarium set to R13 0000 for the Aquael Glossy 120 with cabinet, there is an aquascaping solution to fit all budgets. Smaller aquariums cost less to aquascape and have smaller running costs. Larger aquariums have greater environmental stability, bigger livestock options and capacity.
Bigger tanks will usually take longer to maintain. Water changes, large surfaces of glass to clean and lots of plants to trim can be time consuming. Smaller tanks can be water changed, cleaned and trimmed in less than 30 minutes but the largest aquariums will often take several hours.
Consider where you want to be viewing the aquarium from and where is practical. For example lifting an Aquael Leddy 60 up a flight of stairs is significantly easier than an Aquael Leddy 75. Also consider ambient light and traffic. Excess daylight can lead to algae issues and sudden movement near an open top tank can risk jumping fish.

Successful aquariums depend greatly on research and preparation. Just as you research the care requirements of the fish you are interested in, you will also need to think about fundamental aspects such as aquarium placement. Before you install your new aquarium, consider aquarium placement and size to avoid laborious and costly mistakes.
Location
An aquarium placed in a back room or basement may not receive the care or attention it needs. Oftentimes a poorly located aquarium can result in neglect, increasing risk of fish disease or equipment malfunction that remains unnoticed. Set up your aquarium where you spend most of your time. By doing so, you can fully enjoy the results of your endeavour. Choose a room where you will be able to view and take pleasure in your aquatic system. But more importantly, place the aquarium where it is easily accessible for regular and convenient maintenance.
Keep in mind, once fully set up, aquariums weigh 1 kilogram per 1 litre of wate.. [More]

Rethink filtration possibilities with greater energy efficiency and custom installation options. The innovative Aquael Midikani 800 canister filter employs the silent running Aquael Midikani inline pump that boasts dual internal (in tank) or external (out-of-tank) use while drawing just 6-watts of electricity! Unique filter design eliminates the bulky motor head to maximize space for filter media as well as enhance maintenance convenience. Enjoy cleaner, clearer aquarium water and routine filter maintenance that's a breeze!
The Aquael Midikani 800 canister filter features four preloaded media chambers and a filter cover with a quick-release valve block that doubles as a filter output regulator. Simply turn the valve to adjust filter flow rate and a 90-degree turn of the valve completely stops water flow into the canister filter. Water flow is cleverly diverted back into your aquarium, allowing the pump to maintain vital circulation in your aquarium even as you disconnect .. [More]

Aquael presents this stunning range of aquariums now in South Africa, which provide a high quality finish that is well suited to any modern environment. The Aquael Aludekor aquariums and cabinets are available in a range of sizes from 80 to 150cm. All units are supplied without filtration or heating equipment, enabling you to choose your own prefered brand. We do however recommend using the Aquael Unimax canister filters and comfortzone heaters.
ALUDEKOR water tanks are made of durable glass panels of proper thickness that are bonded with special black silicone. This not only makes the tank durable and watertight but also reduces the discernibility of dirt and sediment.
The lid of the water tank included in the ALUDEKOR set is made of aluminium profiles and plastic plates. The lid is decorated with veneer strips that can be selected to suite the room interior. For your convenience, with each set we include veneer strips in four colours: black, beech, wenge, and alder. Ha.. [More]

Successful reef tanks require a delicate balance and hard work to keep all their inhabitants healthy. A UV sterilizer may make it easier to keep your tank clean, but ease of use doesn't matter if it disrupts that crucial balance. A clear view of the risks and benefits will help you know if this type of filtration system is right for your tank.
How A UV Sterilizer Works
These filtration systems work by drawing up a small amount of tank water at a time, usually through a powerhead motor, and passing it over a UV bulb. The procedure kills fungi, algae, bacteria, parasites and sometimes viruses, depending on the strength of the bulb and the amount of time the water spends under UV light. Some UV systems claim to kill as much as 99 percent of the organisms that pass through them. The system can help hobbyists prevent disease and parasites in their tanks and get a handle on algae blooms.

In addition to killing harmful organisms, UV li.. [More]

Whether you're establishing your first aquarium, or expanding your hobby experience with a new niche system, small aquariums, approximately 30 litres or less, make a rewarding and relaxing project at home or in the office.
A nano aquarium's compact footprint make it a perfect fit for that empty corner or bare wall, and with the advances in multi-stage filtration and compact fluorescent lighting, maintaining a thriving freshwater or marine system is easier than ever.
Small-volume aquariums also demand special attention because changes in water quality, temperature, and fish stress levels become more pronounced in aquariums less than 30 litres. With patience, research, and a little extra diligence, you too can create a beautiful, healthy nano-system. Here are some tips to get started:
Pick a Kit - A hobbyist's best bet is to get a foolproof aquarium kit with integrated filtration and lighting built-in. That way, every component is a perfect fit, and you'll j.. [More]

An aquarium can provide a perfect centrepiece for any room and can be beautiful, relaxing and educational. While setting up a tropical aquarium may seem like a daunting task at first, this can be done with ease after putting a little bit of time aside to plan what you want to include. Before purchasing your aquarium, you need to think about where you’re going to keep it and what you want to include.
It may come as a surprise, but more often than not larger aquariums are easier to maintain as they need cleaning less often and make it easier to regulate the water quality and keep your fish healthy. A larger aquarium also allows more room for fish to grow and live happily. One of the most detrimental factors on a fish’s health can be a small tank.
There are thousands of species of tropical fish to choose from, some of which need more care than others. It’s also worth bearing in mind that some tropical fish may need different equipment inside the tank and.. [More]

So you’re new to the art of aquascaping and want to delve deeper into this beautiful new world, but have no idea where to start. It can be very intimidating and confusing for someone who knows nothing about how to keep fish. There’s a lot to think about, more than you expect and the biggest advice to anyone starting out would be to do your research first before rushing into any decision making.
When thinking about your setup, the choices you make in certain areas will influence what choices you should be making in others. For example, certain types of fish will require a certain size tank to give them the freedom they need. If you plan on keeping live plants too, this will effect what substrate you choose. Your choice of plants may depend on whether the fish you’ve chosen are shy and need shelter under larger leaves. Depending on what plants you’ve chosen, you may need strong lighting and so on. Balance is the key and it may take awhile before .. [More]
