Protein Skimmers

EV Series SkimmersThe new EV series skimmers raise their patented spray injection skimming to a new level in terms of efficiency, performance, and value. The redesigned baf-fling system combined with a larger mixing box results in far less turbulence and increased contact time. The net effect is a dramatic increase in skimmer perfor-mance despite a drop in pump pressure requirements. The molded spray injector now generates a significantly larger number of micro bubbles, which is why the skimmers have taller, wider reaction tubes. Also, the new EV series skimmers are designed to run in-sumps WITHOUT BEING RAISED. They have raised the output gate valve to a height of 9", which means that as long as the sump level is 9" or lower, there is no need to worry about fluctuations having an impact on skimming consistency.

The improved flanged and lock-ing collection cup makes for a secure connection without the need for set screws or other locking type unions. Removal requires 1/4" clearance and

cleaning is a snap.

The addition of a precision ball valve for airflow control allows the aquarist to fine tune the skimmer’s output. Unlike most other high per-formance skimmers in this class, the

EV is remarkably silent.

The addition of a John Guest fitting is a great feature that can only be found in AquaC ozone-equipped skimmers. A calcium reactor may also be connected. Effluent typically falls between 6.5–6.9, and over time the addition of this low pH effluent can have a deleterious effect on the system’s pH level. By dosing the effluent directly into the skimmer, excess CO2 will be “blown off” into the atmosphere and the tank pH will remain unaffected. This is a

standard feature on the EV240 and larger models.

Protein Skimmers

Remora Series AccessoriesThe Pre Skimmer Box boosts Remora’s per-formance up to 20%! It is designed to hide the pump and skims water off the top of the tank, which is often coated with a heavy load of organ-ics. It also contains a bubble elim-inating sponge. The water return area can also hold carbon or other media. It installs in seconds.

* Urchin and Urchin Pro need an additional 6" for collection cup removal. Minimum height needed for easy maintenance is 24" and 26" respectively.

Urchin Series Skimmers

Remora Hang-On Skimmers RemoraThe search for the most compact, efficient and powerful hang-on-tank skimmer on the market is now over. The AquaC Remora is the most radical design in skimming to date! Using the same patented ‘Spray Induction System’ as their highly acclaimed in-sump skimmers, the AquaC Remora is simply the best hang-on available today. The Remora is rated for up to 75 gallons and requires a scant 2.75" clearance from the back of the tank. That is slim! In addition, it has an extremely low profile, only 6" of vertical clearance is required. Standard equipment includes a Maxi-Jet 1200 water pump, adjustable collection cup and a special baffle system which prevents any bubbles from entering the aquarium.

Remora ProThe AquaC Remora Pro is essentially a larger, beefier version of the Remora and is rated for tanks over 75 gallons in size. It is designed to meet the needs of larger, sumpless tanks which cannot benefit from the power of AquaC’s EV Series. Despite its outstanding performance, the Remora Pro is only 18" x 7.5" x 3.25" making it still one of the most compact hang-on skimmers in the industry. The Remora Pro also utilizes the highly efficient “Spray Induction System” and comes standard with a low-wattage, yet forceful Rio 1400 or Mag-Drive 3.

­Aqua­Medic­TurboflotorState of the art skimmer for marine aquariums 25–250gal.Simple but brilliant in its engineering, this patented needle wheel skimmer produces the ultimate dry foam - absolutely the most advanced skimmer in the world. This is the perfect low maintenance skimmer for serious reef keepers.Constant flow rates are achieved, thus no adjustments are required. Unique throttle valves allow for the ultimate foam control—even during changes in aquarium bioloading.The small submersible pump running the skimmer is energy efficient and produces less heat transfer than larger pumps on similar skimmers.The Turboflotor T1000 easily connects to the aquarium over flow. No airstones, venturi or other complex bubble producing methods can match its efficiency and effectiveness.Height: 22"; Footprint: 7 1/4" x 16"warranty: 6 months from date of purchase.

Finally, a small sump skimmer that requires no plumbing or con-stant maintenance. The Urchin is the newest addition to AquaC’s line of innovative protein skimmers that utilize spray induction technology. Based on the popular Remora, the Urchin is a sump model that is suitable for small tanks that don’t require the waste-removing power of the AquaC EV Series. No plumbing required, simply drop in the sump and plug in the pump! Unlike most sump skimmers, the Urchin does not need to be raised or tinkered with to maintain the proper water level. For those with larger mini-reefs, try the Urchin Pro.

It is not necessary to empty out the collection cup often if the skimmer has been upgraded to include a drain fitting. This drain fitting is available with the Remora and Urchin lines as an optional feature.

Protein Skimmers

Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor SkimmerThis skimmer is designed to operate in the SUMP ONLY!!! The Turbo Eductor fitting mixes air with the incoming water; this air is obliterated into mil-lions of miniscule bubbles, and the water/air mix is pumped into the skimmer. Because the exhaust of the skimmer is protected by a baffle, few (if any) bubbles escape from the reaction chamber. The actual exhaust assembly is height-adjustable, allow-ing you to tweak the height of water in the reaction chamber and produce the darkest, driest, dirtiest foam. Other features include replaceable input and exhaust tube assemblies. In addition, the Nautilus TE comes with everything you need except for a pump! Just purchase a pump that has a flow rating of 600-900 gph (we recommend the Mag-Drive 700 and/or the Rio 2100), hook it up and plug it in and you’re done!

Specifications and Schematics: • Overall Nautilus TE height: 23" or 58 cm • Widest Nautilus TE width: 8 1/4" or 21 cm • Total Clearance Height (to remove collection cup):

HOT-1 Venturi Protein SkimmerThe Precision Marine HOT-1 Protein Skimmer has two models: HOT-1 (standard) & HOT-1+. The HOT-1 is a Hang On Tank model that uses the venturi device on the MAXI-JET 1200. We believe there is nothing in it’s class that touches the performance, and of course the build quality. We think you will agree.

The difference between the HOT-1 and the HOT-1+ is the keyholed acrylic lid and the drain on the cup of the HOT-1+. It can be used with a Precision Marine Waste Collector. Functionally, it’s identical to the HOT-1 standard.

Protein Skimmers

Bak-Pak Accessories

Pre-skimmer

The Bak-Pak 2 improves upon the Bak-Pak, a popular external, back-hanging protein skimmer and biological filtration unit. This filter incorporates desirable features like an easy-to-clean intake tube and a new enclosed directional outflow that reduces splash and bubbles in the tank. Just hang the unit behind the aquarium, plug it in, and it goes to work. Designed for tanks up to 60 gal, but multiple units may be used successfully in larger aquariums. Measures 7.5" x 3" x 17.5".

The Dual Pak provides a complete hang-on filtration unit for tanks up to 100gal that incorporates two prov-en skimmers with a biological filtration chamber in the middle. Using proven Rio Rejuvenation Venturi technol-ogy, the protein skimmers are flooded with bubbles for constant removal of excess organic. The biological chamber utilizes CPR’s Bio-Bale biological filter media to provide maximum surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. Measures 11.5" x 3.75" x 18". The Bak-Pak 2R+ is designed for use in reef tanks

in which biological filtration is not desired. New “Tri-Chamber” design of the Bak-Pak 2R+ takes the place of the biological section, and when combined with a new and improved outlet design, provides an effective way to reduce bubbles caused by system imbalances. The Bak-Pak 2R+ can also make use of the accesso-ries available for the BAK-PAK™ 2 (with the exception of the BPBT). Measures 7.5" x 3" x 17".

The Bak-Pak Pre-skimmer fits around the powerhead and skims water from the surface of the aquarium where wastes accumulate. The Pre-skimmer makes the Bak-Pak even more efficient.The Bubble Trap for the Bak-Pak 2 eliminates turbulence bubbles and micro-bubbles caused by chemicals in the tank.

Protein Skimmers

The Fission Nano-Skimmer is the smallest protein skim-mer in the world, measuring only 6.5" high and 2" in diameter. Powered by an efficient air injection pump, the patented design rips bubbles into a vortex foam froth, breaking apart proteins and organics, removing them from your nano-home. Easy-to-install, this nano-skimmer packs the power of fission into pint sized perfection.• Recommended for aquariums up to 12gal • Step into a world that fits in the palm of your hand • Power pump—Air injection submersible pump pushes

84 gallons per hour through the skimmer, mixing bub-bles and organics in a tornado fashion. The result: a dry foam froth that will make you go yuck!

• Patended design—Unique submersible design fits into almost any nano-style aquarium system. Put the pump next to it, beside it, or under it. It fits almost anywhere.

• Pint size—The compact size of 6.5" H x 2" Dia. makes it easy to hide in tanks and filters.

Whats included: Each skimmer includes a submersible venturi pump, protein skim-mer, suction cups for mounting, hanging kit and two connection elbows.

Euro-Reef RC Series Protein SkimmersThe Euro-Reef CS “RC” Re-Circulating External Skimmers offer the best configura-tion for the highest possible organic extrac-tion per pass through. This design allows you to control the flow rate through the skimmer. The foam generating pumps work on a loop that takes water from the body, mix it with air, shred it and pump it back into the body.The foam generating pump is mounted to the body on the left. The drain valve (gray with black cap) located on the bottom right is provided for easy service and emptying of the skimmer. The inlet to the skimmer where water is fed into the skimmer is located at the upper right of the skimmer body. A feeding pump rated at 1 to 1.5 (maximum) times the system’s volume is recommended. On the far right of the skimmer you see the quick disconnect union and Gate Valve Outlet Assembly, this is where water exits the skimmer. You can use the red handle to control the outflow of water and thus the water/foamate level in the skimmer. Super simple!Euro-Reef™’s Recirculating skimmers can handle larger bio-loads depending on the flow through rates. Slower flow through rates offer longer dwell times and higher “per pass” extraction levels. Ratings for these skimmers are offered as a “Base +” rather than one “Ideal” aquarium size.Recirculating Pumps(s) included. For in sump or external use.

Euro-Reef RS Series Protein SkimmersMeet the Needs of Today’s Marine Aquarists Head On.The RS Series protein skimmers are the latest addition to the peerless line of Euro-Reef products. Identical in design and performance to the world famous CS Series, the RS Series has established a new benchmark for Quality, Performance, and Value all in one unit. These skimmers are fabricated with the highest quality cell cast sheet and tube material in combination with custom designed mold injected acrylic and PVC parts. Each skimmer comes with a perfectly matched pump that supplies the skimmer with a balanced flow of air and water insuring the best possible performance. The power consumption of these pumps is extremely low because of the reduction in resistance/ drag on the motor when using the Euro-Wheel Pin Wheel impeller. The pumps also run very quietly, enhancing the “seen but not heard” profile in your filtration system. The collection cup is very easy to remove as the RS80 model uses our new patent pending “Euro-Loc” quick disconnect union. This union allows for a “Zero” height clearance requirement for removal of the cup for service. Simply unlock with a 1/3 counter clockwise turn and slide off!! All of these features converge to make the Euro-Reef RS Series protein skimmers one of the most sought after products in the marine aquarium hobby, not only because of the Quality they offer or the Performance they provide, but because of the Value they represent. When the time comes to invest in a protein skimmer, you should expect the most for your money. Get the best product the first time. Get a Euro-Reef!

FILTERS AND FILTER MEDIA Protein Skimmers

Tunze DOC Protein SkimmersComline DOC skimmers have been developed for aquariums from 52 to 528gal, with com-pact dimensions, high foam cup capacity, and very high output.

It can be placed easily and discreetly within your aquarium or it can also be used in sumps. The cartridge core on the outlet pipe ensures bubble-free outgoing water. Skimmer cup and foam reactor are one unit. Every cleaning of the skimmer cup leads to the reactor being cleaned at the same time. During the cleaning process, the Hydrofoamer remains operational and automatically flushes the jet and the air passage.• 9005 & 9010—In-sump (9005.400 required) or

in-tank use• 9015—In-sump or in-tank use • 9020—With two Foam Extraction Units (9020.140)

in place of the collection cups; Includes storage con-tainer (5002.25) that can be used as a skimmate collector

Tunze Nano DOC Protein SkimmerThe “Nano” model series has been designed for the use in reef biotopes up to 52gal. It removes up to 80% of organic waste matter, such as protein and cellulose, from the aquarium water. Very little space is required in the aquarium, and its handling is very easy. These models are particularly quiet during operation. On account of the high demands in stony coral aquariums, this skim-mer should be used only in aquariums with about 26gal. of water, mixed aquariums or soft coral aquariums up to 52gal of water.

By means of the water jet of the Nano pump and a high-performance jet, a fine pearly air mixture is pro-duced which is released into an easy-to-clean skimmer cup through a newly developed reflection system. The protein-containing aquarium water diffuses into the skimmer through the opening in the bottom and on the rear, which is gentle to the plankton, thus suitable in particular for breeding tanks with living plankton.

Tunze Nano Reefpack 200

It is designed for small reef aquariums from 10 to 50 gal. It consists of a DOC Skimmer 9002 with a 150-liter air output, a mechanical nano filter with a pump (211 gal./h) and a magnet holder. The water is treated on the basis of dirt removal and contains no biological stages. Like all TUNZE components, the Nano Reefpack is a modular solution, which can be supplemented with other TUNZE Filters.Specifications:• Filtration: Nano Filter 3165 with an output of 211 gal./h, micro wadding 872.01 and filter bag• Storage Tank 5002.10: with a volume of 3.4 gal.; is used to hold the refill water• Holding Device: the Nano Reefpack is supplied with Magnet Holder 6080.50 to permit mounting at any point in the aquarium• Power Consumption: Only 20W for all components• Delivery Condition: Completely ready for mounting with holding device, storage tank and filter wadding.Dimensions of the Filter Body: 4.7" x 4.4" x 13.3"

Nitrate Removers

Hagen Fluval Lab Series Nitrate RemoverA high capacity, lab-grade Strong Base Anion Exchange (ion exh-cange) resin that effectively removes nitrate and eliminate toxic nitrite within a matter of hours, resulting in a healthy aquarium environment. It removes up to 25 mg/L (ppm) of toxic nitrate per 50 US gal. (189L). Safe for fish, plants and invertebrates, it does not contain phosphate, will not affect pH or Hardness, and can be recharged several times. For use in freshwater aquariums only. Removes up to 25mg/L (ppm) of nitrate per 50 US gal (189L).

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Nitra-ZorbA convenient pouch of natural and synthetic ion-exchange resins which selectively removes ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate from fresh-water aquariums. Completely phosphate-free. Nitra-Zorb is easily recharged in a solution of warm table salt and can be used in any filter. It is ideal for delicate species of fish and plants that thrive in soft water aquariums. This product will not alter pH, hardness, or alkalinity levels, and will not remove trace elements such as iron. Use Nitra-Zorb to maintain high water quality and fish vigor in any fresh-water aquarium. Treats up to 55gal.

Seachem deNitrateThis filter media is a high porosity filtration product for the removal and control of nitrate in marine and freshwater aquaria by anaerobic denitrification. It is a porous inorganic solid about 4mm in diameter. It does not require a special denitrifying filter or special culture feedings. It is also helpful in controlling nitrite and ammonia. The surface area characteristics of denitrate are similar to Matrix, making denitrate an effective support for the biological filter. Each liter treats up to 100gal.

Korallin BioDenitrator S-1502, S-3002 & S-4002• Large internal volume with a small footprint• Optimal efficiency through high internal recirculation

and fast Nitrate removal• No feeding liquid required! • For fresh and saltwater useThis revolutionary design makes denitrifaction easy and efficient.The design is based around the C-1502 reactor and combine sulphur media with calcareous media to offer a high level of Nitrate removal. The recirculation method is far more efficient than simple single pass filters. As it includes reactor media, the pH is fully buff-ered and enriched with calcium before being returned to the tank. With the build quality of the C-1502 reactor and recir-culation, these offer very efficient nitrate removal. After a running in time of approximately 3-4 weeks this unit will, for example, reduce 100 liters with 50mg NO3 to 0 in 3-4 days.Once the nitrate problem has been solved, you can easily turn this denitrator into a Calcium Reactor with some additional parts (sold separately).

AZ-NO3 Nitrate EliminatorAZ-NO3 brings down and maintains your nitrate from as high as 100 ppm to an absolute-zero level. Works with an efficient protein skimmer to export the bonded nitrate compounds. The Fourth Generation Formula fixes the previous discolor-ation and blackening symptom. The new AZ-NO3 with its new “cold” filtering and processing techniques reduces the clouding effect in even poorly maintained (ionically-imbal-anced) aquariums. Its nitrate-removal ability is twice as fast as before.

Kent Marine Nitrate SpongeThis is a granular zeolitic medium which works by two methods: 1) It slowly, but directly adsorbs small amounts of ammonia that are released by fish and natural processes, and 2) it fosters anaerobic bacterial denitrification due to its physical porous structure. This deni-trification slowly reduces nitrate levels in the aquarium. It works well in freshwater tanks or tap water to remove toxic ammonia directly!

Nitrate Test Kits

tipNitrate is not only a stimulant for algae, but has also been shown to be a stimu-lant for dinoflagellates and to have other negative effects on a reef tank as well. When nitrate levels are high they can limit the growth of stony corals by causing an increase in zooanxthellae. This produces two effects: it causes the stony corals to be browner and it slows or reduces calcification. Fish seem to tolerate nitrate much better. However, there have been anecdotal reports that when nitrate levels were high the coloration of the fish diminished and in some instances the fish went blind.

For these reasons, it is a good idea to keep nitrate levels as low as possible. One way to do this is to reduce food input. Overfeeding is still the most com-mon cause of excess nitrate. Improved skimming can also help to reduce excess nitrate. It is also possible to remove nitrate by adding compounds such as AZ-NO3. This additive contains some compounds that bind to nitrate and make it easier to be skimmed off with a protein skimmer. There are also resins available that will reduce nitrate. However, it should be understood that these resins are short-term fixes and are not cures for the problem.

The AquaFuge PRO is the latest in a line of refugiums from CPR Aquatic, Inc. The AquaFuge PRO is a sump-based refugium which incorporates a protein skimmer in order to maintain safe organic levels while also pro-viding for oxygenation of any marine system. Refugiums can be used to cultivate food sources such as algae and micro-fauna while also being used for nutrient export from a marine system. The AquaFuge PRO is designed for use with various mediums including mud, live sand, and live rock.

CPR CITR In-Tank RefugiumThe In-Tank Refugium is a “safe house” that provides a protected area within an aquari-um, meeting a variety of essential needs for the aquarist. Helps newly added fish or invertebrates easily acclimate to a new tank. Provides a haven for injured fish or corals to regenerate damaged tissue without the need for a separate quarantine tank. It also func-tions as a culturing area for small organisms that will become a food source for the inhabitants of the main portion of the tank. Includes a Rio Powerhead to keep fresh water flowing through the refugium at all times. The versatility and simplicity of this system makes it a valuable addition to any tank.

• Controlled growing area for macroalgae and other food items

• Stabilizes your marine ecosystem • New black back prevents light transfer between refu-

gium and tank • Easy to set up “hang on the tank” design • Independent powerhead provides healthy flow of water • Designed for multiple media Note: Does not include the lighting fixture and acces-sories as shown in the picture.

CPR­Continuous­Siphon­Overflow­BoxesA built-in overflow is the most efficient method of draining aquarium water to a filter. If an aquarium does not have a built-in overflow, CPR Continuous Siphon Overflows/Prefilters are the best means for getting water from an aquarium to a filter system without expensive modifications to the tank. They quietly skim up to six times more water than units with tubes.The advantages of CPR Continuous Siphon Overflows/Prefilters include:• Adjustable water level allows you to easily change the level in your tank.• Black top reduces algae growth. • Plastic screen to prevent fish loss. • Quiet operation.

tipIt all starts at the top. When the concept of external biofiltra-tion was introduced in the 1980’s, the entire concept of how to best filter a tank was changed. The success of these tanks illus-trated that many marine invertebrates that had previously been impossible to keep could now be sustained if water quality was improved. The introduction of overflow boxes to remove waste and surface-active compounds from the tank, along with wet-dry or trickle filters, were the first new pieces of equipment that demonstrably improved water quality. Since then, other pieces of filtration equipment such as the protein skimmer have been introduced to improve water quality even further. However, both of these once-cutting-edge pieces of equipment still have their place in the hobby. Overflow boxes or siphon boxes are devices that allow water to be drawn from the surface of the tank and moved down to a sump or reservoir below the tank. These are very useful devices in that they only allow the surface water from the tank to be drawn off when the water in the tank is above a certain level. When the water drops below this level the overflow box no longer pulls water from the tank. Therefore if the power should go off or if the pump is shut down for cleaning, the overflow box will not allow the tank to drain below a certain point. An overflow box runs continuously, and it does not require the tank to be drilled. A good overflow with lots of flow into and around it will keep dust and oily films from developing on the surface of the tank. This will allow for better light transmission through the surface of the water. An overflow box is essential if any type of sump, refugia, or reser-voir underneath the tank is employed (on a non drilled tank).

Manufacturer Warranty: 2 years from date of purchase.

Compact, complete and powerful, this series of EHEIM appended filters combines the advantages of easy handling with effective water purification by mechani-cal, biological and adsorptive means. This is equally suitable for ambitious aquatics novices and professional fish breeders.Features: • Simple installation by hanging over the tank rim• Complete with filter media• Phenol-free cellular foam cartridges guarantee reli-

able removal of dissolved pollutants• With cellular foam cartridge (Accessory no.

2615270) in the intake area, ideal for breeding tanks

• Large filter area due to 3D active carbon cartridgesThese are safety-engineered and conform to American and Canadian safety standards.The advanced 3D technology is based on a disposable pleated carbonized cartridge which provide 100% more mechanical and chemical filtration. It traps minute dirt particles while absorbing liquid impurities, organic compounds and odors.

Tunze Nano FilterThe Tunze Nano Filter can be placed in a corner of the aquarium discreetly, and is based on the surface surfaction principle. It has a larger filter volume and has been fitted with a filter pump offering a variable output of 150 to 800 l/h (39 to 211 gal./h). The Filter chamber can be filled with loose micro / macro wadding as well as with activated carbon or other absorbers, such as phos-phate removers or peat. In case of larger systems without surface suction with an external cup filter, for example, the Nano filter is a perfect solution to remove the surface film. In a fresh-water tank, the Nano filter renders a better filtering performance than conventional internal filters fitted with simple filter sponges.

tip

Those of us that cannot ask our aquatic friends “where does it hurt” must depend upon less obvi-ous clues as indicators of our animal’s health and well-being. Are fish capable of communicating the status of their health and the stress level of their environment? The simple answer is yes, but dis-tinguishing those signals is a much more complex matter. We can’t train our fish to talk, but we can teach ourselves to recognize the behavioral indica-tors of stress.

The bad news is it is easier to recognize behavioral changes than it is to distinguish the disease or stressful condition that is causing them. The good news is that in many cases the corrective action for many of the challenges to our fish’s well being is the same. For instance, a water change may allevi-ate the problem whether a low pH or high nitrates cause it.

Stress causes physical, chemical and behavioral changes in fish. Stress can cause fish to exhibit behaviors, cease behaviors or modify the degree to which these behaviors are exhibited.

The careful observer can discern these behavioral changes as a signal that something may be amiss. Keep a large batch of water ready at all times for an emergency water change. Test the water parameters on a regular basis and keep a record of the results. Research each species’ dietary, and habitat requirements prior to purchase. Have a stock of medications handy for treating the more common fish diseases. Learn how to effectively treat common aliments or diseases. Maintain a separate quarantine to isolate or treat ill animals. Most importantly, observe each specimen daily so that you can easily spot any change in their behaviors early and keep a “heads up” approach to their condition.

Excerpts from Terry Bartelme’s article “Behavioral Responses to Stress in Fish”

If your fish could talk, they would tell you whenever they were ill or something was bothering them.

Blue Life Filter Sock (200 Micron)Benefits:Filter socks are the most convenient form of mechanical filtration. They remove excess food, detritus, organic waste, dust, and other particulates. Removing these particulates from the water column will reduce the amount of organic matter that produces ammonia and other undesirable substances in the aquarium. Filter socks also help prevent larger objects, such as sand, crabs, snails, etc. from damaging pump motors. Regular filter sock use will lower organic levels and result in CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER!

Directions:Rinse before use. Filter socks are designed to be used inside a sump or refugium with a mounting bracket or hanging mechanism. Simply place filter sock in path of drain water. Allow water that enters the sump to fall directly into filter sock. Keep the plastic filter sock ring below the top edge of your sump to prevent overflow when filter sock reaches capacity. Filter socks are reusable. Turn sock inside-out and thoroughly rinse with a garden hose. For best results use a high-pressure water nozzle. Rinsing should be preformed when filter sock turns brown or when water overflows. Frequent rinsing helps to achieve optimal water quality.

Important:First time use of a brand new filter sock may cause increased protein skimming. Normal protein skim-ming function should resume within 24 hours. Be careful to monitor protein skimmer collection cup level so that it does not overflow.

Benefits:Classic Activated Carbons prime application is as a purifier and clarifier. It is a highly effective absorbent with a large internal surface area. Its vast porous structure allows it to catch unwanted contaminants from all aquaria. Its major treatment objective is the removal of dissolved organics as well as suspended solids and residual oxidants (chlorine and ozone). In addition, Classic Activated Carbon will aid in the removal of odor organics, micro pollutants and medications.Directions:For best results use ½ lb for every 50 gallons (189 liters) of aquarium water. Classic Activated Carbon has not been washed with chemicals, acids, or hydroxides. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse with cold water. Following this rinsing process we recommend placing the carbon in a filter media bag. Place in high flow area of filter to maximize water flow through the media. For best results, replace carbon at least once per month. Classic Activated Carbon is ideal for use in all types of power filters, wet dry filters, canister or modular filters.

tipAlong with having the proper filtration equipment

and performing regular water changes, using

the proper type(s) of filter media is also neces-

sary to keep your aquarium clean and algae free.

Activated Carbon is the most common filter media

that is used for aquariums. It does an excellent job

of removing organics from the water and helps

to clear up the yellowness in the water. Activated

carbon is usually placed inside a filter media bag

then placed inside a canister filter, a hang-on

filter or in the sump. Activated Carbon should be

changed monthly as exhausted carbon will leach

impurities back into the aquarium. In reef tanks,

activated carbon will also help to remove toxins

release by corals and reduce the potentially-dam-

aging effects of these toxins on other corals.

UV Sterilizers

Pentair Aquatics Inline UV Sterilizer

Ease of use, advanced design, durability and performance set these ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers apart from the competition! At the correct flow rates, they kill over 99% of water-born, disease-causing microorganisms in the water in a single pass! UV light also kills free-floating algae—cutting down on algae problems. Rainbow Lifegard Sterilizers feature a unique, test tube style, quartz sleeve and a pure quartz bulb that emits twice the ultraviolet of other equal wattage bulbs for 30% more life. The bulb can be changed while the system is running. Rust-proof, PVC construction and large screw caps allow easy maintenance.

Current USA Gamma Ultra-Violet SterilizerQuartz-tuned, compact UV sterilizer, with 1-T5 lamp. Designed to emit a massive ultraviolet dosage by continually circulating water within one-half inch of the lamp, destroying all free-floating micro-organisms in its universe.

JBJ Submariner UV Sterilizer/ClarifierThe Submariner is the proactive solution for eradicat-ing harmful micro-organisms and unattractive green free-floating algae in fresh & saltwater aquariums. This revolutionary UV sterilizer/clarifier is completely submers-ible and can be placed either in the main body of the aquarium or in a sump for a clutter free set-up.It utilizes a UV-C compact fluorescent lamp that is encapsulated in our unique Quartz Sleeve that is air tight and allows for a 99% transmission rate to efficiently neutralize disease causing pathogens. All models include an integrated pump with an adjustable swivel spout and large mechanical prefilter sponge.

a perfect matchAll models include an integrated submersible pump that is specifically sized for your tank which includes a swivel nozzle, adjustable flow valve and lamp indicator.

Stay in controlThe ability to adjust flow rates puts you in control of what you intend to eradicate. Slower flow rates increase the dwell period with the UV for more resistant parasites while faster flow rates are needed to rid undesirable bac-teria and free-floating algae.

Versatile & compactThe Submariner is compact enough to fit in the smallest sumps and discreetly blends into aquariums with its streamline design and black exterior finish.

Your First Line of protectionProviding crystal clear water to the UV is vital to the overall success of any unit. 100% of the water is directed through the sponge and then to the UV with no bypass.

Encapsulated Quartz SleeveOur innovative design encapsulates the UV-C lamp in a commercial grade waterproof quartz sleeve that protects and allows for a 99% transmission rate for optimal per-formance.

maintenance made SimpleCleaning the quartz sleeve is made simple by unsnapping the powerhead off and removing the whole encapsulated quartz sleeve and rinsing it off.

tipIt has long been recommended that ozone be used in marine tanks for many rea-sons including its ability to kill many pathogens and make the water crystal clear. Ozone (O3), which is an unstable form of oxygen, acts by oxidizing with (giving up an oxygen molecule to) anything that it comes in contact with. In laymen’s terms, ozone acts as bleach and kills things like bacteria and viruses on contact. Not only does this bleaching action help reduce the pathogen load in a tank, but ozone also interacts with dissolved organics in a tank to make them less interactive so that they can easily be removed by a protein skimmer. This is why when the saltwater hobby was starting out forty years ago, the use of a protein skimmer coupled with an ozonizer was highly recommended.

Ozone does not need to be run constantly, but can be run for short periods of time once a month to keep a tank crystal clear or when the redox potential drops below a certain level. Ozone should also be utilized when a tank is being started and live rock is being cured to remove as much of the dissolved organics as possible. Ozone should also be run constantly when a disease breaks out. Ozone cannot affect the pathogens that are on the fish, but if any free-swimming pathogens come into contact with it in its reaction chamber or in the skimmer they will be killed. Ozone needs to be kept out of the tank as it bleaches any organic matter that it comes into contact with. It should either be bubbled into a protein skimmer or into its own reaction chamber. When it is in use, the water should then flow over carbon to keep any ozone from reaching the tank itself. If ozone does get into the tank it can cause bleaching of the gills of fish, so this needs to be avoided.

As noted above, ozone is highly interactive and as a result it needs to be used with special equipment. Any tubing that it passes through needs to be of silicon, which does not interact with ozone. If regular airline tubing is used, it will become hard and brittle quite quickly when exposed to ozone. Similarly, most plastics will become brittle and crack when exposed to ozone so be careful when choosing a vessel for introducing ozone. Ozone also breaks down quickly when exposed to high humidity so it is best to run the air going into the ozonizer through an air drier. This will dramatically increase the production of ozone.
