pH is a measurement of the alkalinity or acidity of a substance. A pH level of 7 is neutral (e.g. water), while a pH above 7 is an alkaline substance and a pH below 7 is acidic. pH control is the process of adding an alkaline or acidic substance to a liquid in order to bring the measured pH within a desired range.
A pH controller consists of a probe to measure the current pH of a substance, chemicals to correct the pH via an injection pump, and a controller that calculates the required injection rate and activates the injection system. We know pH levels can be the difference between a great aquarium and well, a disaster.
Measuring and adjusting aquarium supplements constantly can be time-consuming. And let’s face it; you have better things to do. Our clever American Marine Pinpoint pH controllers automatically monitors and fine-tunes the pH levels for you. The Pinpoint pH controller uses a high-quality pH probe to continuously monitor pH in freshwater and marine a.. [More]

You wrinkle your nose as you’re about to clean your kitty’s litter box. Among other annoyances, his/her urine smells acrid and pungent. Out in the open, this wouldn’t be such an ordeal… but when enclosed in a litter box, those noxious vapours sure give the impression of coming straight from hell!
Is an overabundant use of air fresheners your only solution? Not at all! To eliminate foul odours at their source (without giving the cat up for adoption, please and thank you), science is the answer.
Faeces contain a phenomenal quantity of bacteria. They eat, reproduce and go about other metabolic occupations that generate malodorous substances. Basically, it stinks and it’s normal.
But what about urine? Isn’t it supposed to be sterile? Well, not exactly: the bladder is still home to a few different bacteria. That being said, barring an infection, urine should not abound with microscopic life. The cause of its strong odor isn’t the.. [More]

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]

The best way to maintain a healthy aquarium is by keeping your water parameters stable. That is why it is essential to regularly monitor your water quality to ensure key parameters are at optimum levels for fish and coral. Aquarium automation is the hot trend that uses electronic devices to monitor and control key functions in the aquarium. In the past, the best you could do is turn your aquarium light on and off with a timer.
Today aquarium controllers and aquarium monitors are far more advanced and helps to ease the burden many aquarium owners feel about regularly testing their water conditions. While not necessarily a substitute for standard aquarium test kits, an aquarium controller can relieve you of testing key parameters like salinity, temperature, pH and ORP by providing continuous readings and logging the data to help you identify trends.
There are different types and levels of automation based on the kind of controller. The control device can be a simple tempe.. [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]

Protein Skimmers are a general name within the marine hobby for pieces of equipment that are designed to remove waste materials and proteins from the water column by a process called foam fractionation. In general terms a protein skimmer works by introducing high levels of air bubbles through a body of water containing waste materials. The waste and proteins are attracted to the air water interface and flow upwards with the surface where they can be collected. The larger the volume of air and the smaller the bubbles then the more surface area that is available to attract the proteins and the more efficient the skimmer.
There are two philosophies regarding the control of waste in a marine aquarium. One is to is to have an average performing protein skimmer to take out some of the protein but also have a large amount of biological filtration to deal with the resulting breakdown from the remainder. This type of system will normally lead to a trend for rising nitrate levels and .. [More]
