Rossmont, as you may know, is the company behind the revolutionary, controllable, AC powered wave pump called Mover. The Rossmont Riser and Riser RX are radical new pumps which on the surface looks pretty standard-issue, but beneath the skin hides some exciting new technology.
The models available are Rossmont Riser R3200, RX5000 and RX6600 which are great standalone AC pumps with a decent flow curves. What is the difference between an AC and DC pump? What’s the advantage of one over another?
Many people are looking for a DC pump nowadays for its novelty and control features. However, an AC pump is more reliable because there is no power supply that can fail. The Rossmont AC pump is plugged directly into the wall outlet and it will operate normally at a fixed flow rate.
The main feature of these pumps are that if you use it as “stand-alone” it’s a standard AC pump, but if you plug into the Rossmont Waver controller it becomes an in.. [More]

A saltwater aquarium is often the pinnacle of every fish keepers’ dreams. The fascinating array of colours and behaviours, coupled with unique invertebrates and corals, can create a beautiful showpiece in any home. Marine aquariums are often accompanied with the preconception that they are harder to keep than freshwater setups. While marine fish are a little less tolerant of poor water quality, the same basic principles of care and maintenance apply to both.
Choosing the Marine Aquarium - Size, Shape & Positioning
Marine aquariums can come in an array of shapes and sizes. A trip to your local specialist marine retailer will give you the chance to see the latest aquariums the hobby has to offer. A traditional marine setup would consist of an aquarium on a cabinet containing another aquarium inside (the sump filter). This modular filtration system suits marines as it allows most of the equipment to be hidden underneath the main aquarium. The water will drain f.. [More]

After years of research and development, NT Labs in UK is bringing out its Marine Lab range.
A spokesman said: “These liquid testing kits have been expertly developed to give marine fishkeepers easy-to-use tools to monitor water quality without compromising on accuracy or precision.
“This stylish new range includes all the essential tests you will need to maintain a thriving marine aquarium.”
The range of liquid tests includes kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, carbonate hardness, magnesium, calcium and phosphate.
The calcium and magnesium tests use syringe-style titrations tests for accurate results, while the carbonate hardness tests use a drop-wise titration tests.
“The others are ‘easy-to-use colourimetric tests’ in which users count drops from the reagent bottles, and compare to the colour chart on the side of the carton.
NT Labs have been industry leaders in research and development since their launch .. [More]

Reefbuilders recently reviewed the new Deltec Twin-Tech Calcium Reactor and called it the “Mother of all Calcium Reactors.” The CR Twin-Tech is a new automatic calcium reactor from Deltec with a lot of bells and whistles, like all of them. At first look the CR-Twin Tech is a lot for the eyes to take in, but there’s a nice serving of German engineering with each and every piece.
The first big difference between the CR Twin-Tech and other automatic calcium reactors is the inclusion of an extra tube which is separate from the mixing chamber itself. This allows the water level to remain more stable even as the CO2 mixing chamber has aggressive water flow moving through it.
Some other innovative features include a special venting tube on the topside of the main calcium dissolving chamber, pH control for more precise control of dissolution rate and a high quality solenoid valve specially chosen for this application. The system itself is not fed by a peristal.. [More]

Oceanlife is another incredible aquarium manufacturer from Italy whose incredible products is making its way soon to South Africa. The company has been operating for nearly 20 years and produces products like chemical additives, filtration media, test kits, food, aquariums and impressive livestock display systems.
We’ve been impressed with the level of quality from Oceanlife and other Italian companies. They construct quality aquariums that are beautifully designed from top to bottom including custom-coloured stands to make an impact. They pride themselves on building designs that fit the customer’s needs – whether you are a hobbyist or a retailer or wholesaler.
A fresh source of nutrients can really make the difference to coral nutrition, colouration and health. From studies, Oceanlife learned that the concept to feed corals with fish wastes is conceptually wrong. In nature, our corals absorb from water a quantity of elements like minerals, vitamins a..

Named after Hans-Werner Balling, the Balling Method solves the difficult problem of maintaining Calcium, Carbonate, Magnesium, and Trace Element levels in reef aquariums. The largest benefit of the Balling Method over other supplementation methods is control. Even the highest calcium and carbonate demands can be met, without the PH issues associated with Calcium Reactors. Because each additive is added independently from a container it allows the aquarist to fine tune their water chemistry.
The purpose of the balling Method is to sustain the aquarium parameters as follows:
Calcium: 380 – 420 mg/Liter
Magnesium: 1200 – 1350 mg/Liter
Alkalinity: 6,5 – 8 dkH
Salinity: 33 – 35 Promille
The Balling Method is the most commonly used supplementation method for reef aquariums in Europe because it does not require any special skills. One only needs an accurate scale, liquid measuring container and water. It is best to use distilled, or at the very le.. [More]

Why do we need Calcium Reactors for reef aquariums? In nature, seawater bathes coral reefs and provides many minerals and elements. Of all the minerals and elements present in natural seawater, no mineral is consumed as quickly or in large amounts as calcium. Hard corals, which are the building blocks of the coral reef, demand large amounts of calcium to build their skeletons. Providing enough calcium to meet the demands of all the corals, invertebrates, and algae in a closed ecosystem creates a real challenge for the hobbyist.
To help you meet this challenge, consider adding a calcium reactor to your aquarium system. Calcium reactors automate the process of replenishing calcium as well as other minerals and trace elements.
A calcium reactor is essentially a chamber full of aragonite, which is the crushed skeleton of ancient hard corals. Aquarium water is pumped through this chamber along with pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 lowers the pH in the chamber to an .. [More]

If you are keeping a marine tank, the chances are that one of the most potentially beautiful and intriguing things about it, is the coral that you keep. With so many colourful varieties on offer, in different shapes and sizes, they are often the most stunning feature of your tank.
Perhaps more importantly, is the functions of coral in your tank. When coral is done right, it becomes the life-force of your tank, becoming the home to many reef fish and aquatic vegetation, including beneficial bacteria that act as a filter within your aquarium keeping the water quality better for all the other colourful critters in your tank.
While some corals require a lot of experience, keeping care of simple coral is easy when you know how, so let’s look at the best ways to let coral thrive in your tank and how to set it up so your coral is at its’ glorious best.

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]
