The Eco-friendly combination of a digitally controlled electronic ballast and Twin-Arc tube metal halide lamp allows the Reef Brite Metal Halide systems to use 25% less energy than other metal halide systems while giving off less heat.
TWIN-ARC:
The Reef Brite TWIN-ARC metal halide lamp is one of the most exciting new developments in aquarium lighting in almost a decade. Developed for the aquarium industry by world renowned lighting specialist and luminaries designer Tullio DellAquila, the Reef Brite TWIN-ARC metal halide lamp is not only the most innovative lamp available it is also the most energy efficient and economical.
Available in a variety of color temperatures, TWIN-ARC offers the benefit of two separate metal halide lamps in one single unit.
Now for the first time ever you can promote maximum growth and color without the need for multiple ballast or lighting systems. When used as directed the patented Reef Brite Twin-Arc tube lamp not only performs better and last longer it maintains peak output and color. The TWIN-ARC also helps to eliminate light shock and color shift when replacing your bulbs.

PhosBan® Reactor 550™

The PhosBan Reactor 550 is designed with the upflow principle to achieve the most efficient use of PhosBan® or other chemical filter media. By pushing
water from the bottom upward through a dispersion plate, it forces an even
distribution of water through the media, and prevents channeling. It can be
mounted hanging on the back of the aquarium or below the aquarium. Includes ball valve for regulating flow, and flexible connection fittings that rotate 180 degrees to allow a perfect custom fit to your installation. The threaded lid design makes servicing quick and easy. One reactor for aquariums up to 600 gallons.
NPX Bioplastics®

NPX Bioplastics® granular plastic media made from biodegradable polymers. For use in a fluidized reactor or in a media bag within any filter. The slow release of
organic food from these plastics promotes the development of bacteria that assimilate nitrate and phosphate. These bacteria can be harvested by protein skimmers, so that the nitrate and phosphate levels are naturally reduced. The bacteria are also a food source for filter-feeding invertebrates such as corals, clams, sponges, and feather dusters. New for 2010

TDS ALARM, DUAL PROBE IN-LINE EC AND HAND HELD DIGITAL TDS METERS.

NEPTUNE DUAL MEMBRANE SYSTEM:

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!! Nobody wanted it when we were selling it.. but when we took it down everyone and their brother was asking where it went.. so here it is! NEPTUNE The Neptune is a 200 GPD seven (7) stage RO/DI (Reverse Osmosis/De-Ionizing) reef keeping system, featuring an automatic shut-off valve and float valve for a unique hands-free, fully automated water making system. You will also receive our push-in, self-piercing supply valve, two in-line ball valves, a drain saddle, filter wrench, complete instructions with illustrations, and all the tubing you will need. This is one incredible system that is so large and stable (27 pounds dry, 15.5" tall, 15" wide, and 12" deep) that it doesn't need mounting, and may even fit under a kitchen counter or store display. The Neptune has three DI stages. We install full size color changing cartridges. In stage five we install a single anion bed, in stage six we install a single cation bed, in stage seven we install a mixed DI bed. All of the DI cartridges change color as they are used up. Yes, this is the same set up found in semiconductor rinsing operations. This unit is designed to provide Reefkeepers with ultra pure water, no ammonia, or silicate sand. You get -0- TDS. You have a full-scale high production water purification system that is capable of producing the water necessary to sustain very large and / or numerous aquatic systems. Or in the case of a laboratory lots of ultra clean water.

The MAX 250 is the ultimate 250 liter / 66 gallon Plug & Play Coral Reef System.

Featuring a host of high performance features, the MAX 250 makes it possible to keep even the most demanding sps coral species, and provides a complete coral reef aquarium solution.
Full Coral Reef Spec lighting, filtration & circulation are all housed in a beautiful aquarium, which also includes the MAX control system providing total control and a one pug solution.

The MAX 250 gives aquarists an opportunity to achieve the dream of owning a complete coral reef in their own home.

The MAX 250 has been designed as a highly specified complete 250 liter coral reef aquarium system. Each component has been specifically designed to work as part of the total system, guaranteeing compatibility and performance suited to maintaining even the most delicate stony (sps) corals.

The Red Sea MAX features a complete 4-stage reef filtration system, designed to provide perfect water conditions for all reef inhabitants.
An adjustable height surface skimmer (a) takes water from where the highest concentration of waste materials is found.
The turbo air injection skimmer developed specifically for the MAX circulates the water volume through the skimmer more than 3 times per hour at an air/water ratio of 1:3 providing ideal skimming specifications for a hard coral (SPS) reef aquarium. The unique foam adjuster (b) ensures that foam can be produced in all water conditions.

Mechanical filtration removes the large organic substances while Phosphate-free active carbon acts as a large chemical sponge; absorbing dissolved organic carbons from the water. Highly porous bio-media provides a huge surface area for nitrifying bacteria.
Additional equipment such as a chiller or an external filter can easily be added with the Accessory kit (c) supplied with each unit.

BIOPELLETS:

Maintaining low nitrates is key to maintaining the best coral coloration, healthy fish and avoiding algae outbreaks. Fish foods and resulting waste eventually breaks down into nitrates. Aquarists primary method of dealing with nitrate removal is water changes but over the years we have developed a few ways to remove nitrates with equipment like refugiums, sulfur reactors and deep sandbeds. All of these methods work to various degrees but are often less efficient than we would like or the level of complexity, expense and maintenance is beyond what the average reefer would desire. BRS Bio Pellets are the latest in denitration technology and fairly easy to implement. BRS Bio Pellets work by providing a solid carbon food source for the denitrifying bacteria. All you need to implement this is some BRS Bio Pellets, an inexpensive fluidized reactor and a pump.

We recommend 1 cup (236 ml) of BRS biopellets per 50 gallons of system volume.
