Featuring a unique patented magnet/suction cup support system, the Koralia is incredibly stable, offering a 360 degree range of motion for positioning in aquariums with glass up to 15mm thick. The spherical-shape allows you to adjust flow direction quickly and easily.
JBJ 28-Gallon Nano Cube HQI Aquarium with FREE StandThe 2007 28g Nano-Cube HQI-Reef Series from JBJ incorporates many high-tech features not commonly found in "all-in-one" systems. The concept behind the 28g Nano-Cube HQI was inspired by reef hobbyists who requested higher powered lighting, protein skimming, increased water circulation, a more simplified filter, storage area in the stand for chillers and designated water level columns in the rear chambers for heaters, refugiums and protein skimmers.

E.S.V. B-Ionic 2-Part Calcium Buffer Concentrate
By using equal volumes of each component, aquarium hobbyists can maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing powders, disruption of ionic balance or addition of organic chemicals. It also provides all other important major, minor and trace elements in the proper ratios to duplicate the composition of natural seawater. B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System will help restore inorganic ions lost from protein skimming and help maintain the ionic balance of the aquarium water.

CaribSea Purple Up Coralline Algae Accelerator
Purple Up uses a unique dual-method approach to coralline algae acceleration. First, ionic calcium immediately raises dissolved calcium levels in your aquarium water. Next, ten micron aragonite targets the live rock surface, where it dissolves in situ (in place), delivering calcium, strontium, magnesium and carbonate right where it is needed.

Prodibio compounds are sealed in a modified atmosphere with argon or nitrogen so the product itself is not exposed to oxygen in the air. Translation: Prodibio products will always be fresh, whenever you need them. Freshwater and saltwater formulas are available in 40 different varieties.

Nice reviews - you know how I feel about the Prodibio, great stuff, best product I found last hear in my fight v. high NO3. The algae free magnets are great also. Since I have Tunze and vortech on my reef, no suction cups there. But, my 75 planted FW tank, I bought these Sure Grip magnets to rid myself of any suction cups in the tank. Never looked back.
ReplyDeleteAs said great product reviews.
ReplyDeleteThe ones which jumped out at me were the refractometer, the nano stream and Joes Juice.
The refractometer in my opinion is the one essential item that every aquarist must have. Hydrometers so easily give false readings and as long as the refractometer is calibrated properly then SG stability can easily be maintained.
Standouts for me (personally) are the Hydor Koralia Pumps (we have two in the marketing tank + a Hydor FLO), Purple Up (we add a little less than a half-capful 5 days per week), Prodibio (every 15 days ... a little more often with the Reef Booster) and Joes Juice (terminated some anemones last week, in fact). My favorite item on here though is the Red Sea Max tank ... I'd love one for the casa but my GF would kick my butt if I blew my savings on another tank before getting her an engagement ring. ;-)
