What Is Protein Skimming, and How Does It Work?
Next to primary biological filtration, foam fractionating, better known as protein skimming, is the next most important aspect of any healthy marine system.
Top-Up Unit
Aqua Medic Aquaniveau.
The Aquaniveau electronic level controller may be used in 2 different modes:
Ozoniser
Aquarium filtration systems have improved greatly during the last ten years and the desire to achieve the best water quality encourages today’s fish-keepers to use high flow mechanical / biological filters, large foam fractioner (Protein skimmers), U.V. sterilizers and more.
Kalk Stirer
What is a Kalk stirrer?
This piece of equipment is connected to your top-up unit that tops up with RO water.
Hydor Powerheads

Marine Lighting Guide
The type and amount of lighting is one of the most important considerations when setting up a new marine aquarium. There are types of lighting to suit most budgets, all with their own pros and cons for specific applications.

Calcium Reactor
The addition of calcium to a salt-water aquarium is essential to coral/coralline algae growth and survival. In the oceans calcium is supplied on a continuous basis via the ocean currents at ± 400ppm (parts per million). Calcium can be added manually by regular additions or automatically using a continuous CALCIUM REACTOR.

Wave Makers
Central to the idea of creating a more natural environment in the aquarium is the use of two or three powerheads to circulate the water completely in the tank. The advantages are:
