IceCap External Algae Scrubber Pro - Large IceCap PRO External Turf Scrubbers use algae as a natural water filter to remove nitrate, phosphate, and other pollutants from your aquarium water within the safe confines of your sump. Rather than having algae grow uncontrolled inside your display tank, an algae scrubber allows you to grow algae in a controlled setting where it can be easily removed - thereby removing contaminants from your tank. This all-natural form of water filtration can reduce and even eliminate the need for water changes. Features of the Ice Cap Pro External Turf Scrubbers Feed Pump and Hose Included* Naturally Combats Nutrients and Algae Issues Easy to Harvest and Maintain Integrated Internal 24V LED Lights Emergency Overflow Protection Durable Acrylic Construction Multi-Directional Input with Valve *For external use only. Drain plumbing is required for installation (not included with the device, sold separately) - basic plumbing knowledge is needed. Large Ice Cap External Algae Scrubber Pro Specifications Dimensions (LxWxH): 16.5 x 8.7 x 12.6in (LxWxH) Screen Size: 15.8 x 10.5n LED Number: 2 x 15W LED Wattage: 30w / DC24V Feed Pump: EVO-2000 (30w) Output Size: 1.5" Slip PVC Overflow Protection Drain Size: 1" Slip PVC Max Flowrate: 800gph Aquariums up to: 350gal How the External IceCap Turf Scrubber Works IceCap External Algae Scrubbers are designed to be placed outside and above the sump so that the water flowing through the unit can drain directly back into the sump. Water is fed into the scrubber by the included IceCap EVO water pump. The water going into the unit is trickled down onto a screen that is illuminated on both sides by a powerful field of LED lights. As algae begins to grow on the screen, it "scrubs" the aquarium water of excess nutrients, resulting in less algae growing inside the display tank. Once the screen is covered in algae, it can be "harvested" by removing a sizable portion, thereby removing the contaminants from the system. How to Harvest Algae from your IceCap External Turf Scrubber Remove the top and loosen the quick-release union on the side. Lift the pipe and algae screen out and run them underwater in the sink. Use a credit card or similar scraper to remove the buildup. Be careful not to remove all of the algae from the screen as this will slow growth when placed back into the system. Leave some algae behind to seed the next batch so that it can grow faster. Under normal circumstances, expect to harvest algae every 1-3 weeks. When to Run Your Ice Cap Algae Scrubber Many hobbyists prefer to run their algae scrubbers on a reverse daylight schedule to help stabilize the pH in their aquarium water. This can be accomplished by plugging the LED lights into a timer or aquarium controller and programming it for a 12-hour daily photoperiod that runs opposite of the daylight schedule of the display tank lighting.

Ultra Reef Typhoon UKD-250 Protein Skimmer The TYPHOON Ultra Reef protein skimmers are a range of high performance internal skimmers designed for the management of large aquariums. They are powered by high capacity pumps with an electronic controller to vary the operating speed and regulate the extraction capacity of the skimmer. How it Works The Ultra Reef range of protein skimmers are designed to filter aquariums by removing the surfactants from seawater. It pumps a mixture of Aquarium water and air bubbles into a mixing chamber. By exploiting the properties of the film surface tension between air and water. It generates a dense foam that moves upward into the collection cup where it can be easily removed and cleaned out as necessitates. Quality Craftsmanship Quality craftsmanship down to the screws - Ultra Reef products are based on Italian design and production. Paired with high-quality materials this makes any Ultra Reef device a premium piece of equipment for any aquarium. The parts are made via CNC machining from full blocks of durable PVC, while the assembly is made with anti-corrosive titanium screws for an extremely long service life. For further proof of its quality, look no further than Ultra Reef's ISO 9001 quality certification.Contaminant disposal for the cleanest, clearest water. Innovation and Control Our skimmers are equipped with the latest generation Sicce DC pumps with needle impellers. The pumps are equipped with a controller for adjusting the speed and wattage of the pump for additional tuning. Ultra Reef has designed a plug-in venturi that mixes large volumes of air and water within the skimmer creating a concentrated layer of foam with a high filtering capacity. Our venturi design is equipped with a simple self-cleaning system that prevents the accumulation of saline deposits inside the injector. Precise Adjustment for Optimum Nutrient Content The adjusting screws allow to alter the skimmer's settings and volume of induced air. This allows for an optimum nutrient content and water quality in any tank ensuring stability even in new aquariums, with extreme low organic load. These skimmers are ideal for dry and wet skimming. Noiseless Ultra Reef skimmers have an integrated silencer that minimizes the skimmer noise making it virtually silent. The exhaust system is submerged in the base of the skimmer for silent operation as the clean water is discharged back into the tank. Rubber feet are installed under the base to absorb all vibrations and avoid annoying resonances Efficient to Run and Maintain The PVC components can all be disassembled (and replaced if damaged or broken), while the needle wheel pump can be accessed by removing the titanium locking screws on the conical chamber. The skimmer also has an innovative Easy Flip seal, which allows for the easy removal of all components to clean the unit.

The vast majority of skimmer pumps available to hobbyist are alternating current "AC" pumps (the type of power that comes out of your wall outlet). Direct current pumps have several key advantages over traditional AC pumps. Most notably, you can control the rotational speed of the motor, thus electronically control air and water flow rates into the skimmer. Now the user can have the skimmer process more or less water just by the push of a button!!!The Reef Octopus DC Controllable Skimmer Pump allows users to select between five pre-set speeds indicated by five lit LEDs. The controller also features a feed/service and an On/Off button. When the feed button is pressed, the skimmer pump shuts down and will automatically reactivate after 10 minutes. Press the feed button a second time to resume normal operation.RO DC pumps feature a true slow start-up where the pump slowly ramps up from zero RPM to the full pre-set speed over a period of approximately 10 seconds. The pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90 degree intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.Features 5 Controllable Energy Efficient Power Settings Detachable Controller with Waterproof Union Float Switch Safety 0-10v Input for 3rd Party Controllers Solid Cast Acrylic Construction Disassembles for Easy Cleaning High Volume Air Intake Quiet Operation Technical Specifications Capacity with Light Filtration Demand: 400 Gallons Capacity with Medium Filtration Demand: 300 Gallons Capacity with Heavy Filtration Demand:200 Gallons Hybrid Cone Body: 8in Footprint: 15.7in x 13.8in Total Height: 25.4in Warranty: 2 year coverage on pump - 1 year on rotor - 1 Year on skimmer body Pump Information Reef Octopus Controllable Varios 4s Pinwheel Pump Power Consumption: 25-40watts Voltage: DC 24V Air Draw: 800-1500lph / 28-52SCFH* Max Water Draw: 422gph *Air and water results will vary depending on aquarium setup Average special order turn-around time is approximately 7-10 business days to our facility.

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 acidic level which dissolves aragonite media into the aquarium water. In addition to dissolving the calcium, this process also dissolves nearly all the minerals and trace elements the coral used in order to grow. When set up properly and used correctly, a calcium reactor can maintain or increase calcium levels with little to no maintenance.The VarioS CR is perfectly capable of meeting the challenging task of maintaining alkalinity, calcium and trace elements on a demanding reef system. Quality, design and controllability define the Reef Octopus VarioS Calcium Reactor series.Available in 3 different models that feature the new VarioS variable speed pump and reverse flow water current reactor design to maximum water and Co2contact time with the media. All models come with PH probe holder(probe and PH controller sold separately) to monitor Ph levels in the main reactor chamber and built in bubble counters to monitor Co2 drip rates.Features Efficient Variable Speed DC Pump Apex Ready Reverse flow and CO2 Recirculating Design Auto Fill Bubble Counter Probe Holder w/Plug* Easy to Remove Lid Precision Effluent Control Valve Solid Construction 1/4"quick connect fittings Varios CR-140 Specifications Body Size: 5.5 inches Footprint: 12.2in x 9.1in Total Height: 23in Media Capacity: 3.8L (1gal) Inlet Size: 1/4in Max Feed Rate: 150GPHNote: Suggest a feed pressure slightly higher than a full flowing influent Recirculation Pump Information Reef Octopus VarioS 2 variable speed pump Max Wattage: 25w Apex Ready Control via 0-10V *pH probe sold separately.
