Vivid Creative Aquatics

VCA utilizes additive manufacturing techniques more commonly known as 3D printing to produce parts and accessories for the marine and freshwater aquarium. We utilize a variety of plastics based on the end-use of the product. Items designed to be used in the water are printed using PETG and ABS plastic, while products designed for use outside the water may be printed in PLA, PLA+ and PETG

Our primary focus is on unique 3D printed products such as the RFG, or Random Flow Generator Nozzle. The RFG represents the first in a series of innovative products both designed and manufactured in-house.

Going forward, VCA has a list of products we plan to bring to market that will fill the unique and specific needs of the saltwater aquarium hobbyist and freshwater enthusiast.

    Vivid Creative Salinity Probe Stability Kit

    In Stock

    Monitoring Salinity in an Aquarium can be a ChallengeGet Reliable and Consistent Readings with the SPS KitOne of the biggest challenges with conductivity probes is getting a consistent reading. Many times, the reading is fouled by small bubbles or debris getting on to the probes and end. The SPS Salinity Probe Stability Kit Solves the Problem.The SPS is easy to use! Simply slip the SPS kit over the end of your probe, connect the 1/4in supply line to a small pump such as a Neptune Pmup, or SICCE 90 GPH Micra, or even an open port on your manifold. For the best results, supply the SPS kit between 60 to 100 GPH of consistent and constant flow.The SPS Kit is carefully designed to create just the right amount of water movement and constant pressure around the probe to provide a solid and reliable reading. It will also shielding the probe from bubbles and other debris. If a bubble does get in, the SPS kits constant flow over the probe will act to flush it out and help the reading recover quickly.Basic Installation While supporting the Pressure Screen (B), carefully insert the end of the probe (F) through the top of the SPS Kit Housing (A). Gently push the probe in until it stops against the Pressure Screen. Connect the 1/4in supply line (E) to the push fitting (D) Connect the end of the supply line to the flow source Initial Set-up Place the Probe with the SPS Kit installed into the water and turn on the flow source First - Gently shake the assembly up and down to dislodge any air bubbles that may be trapped inside. Next - Cover the opening at the bottom of the SPS Kit with your finger for a few seconds to expel any reaming air or bubble that may be trapped. The settle in period will generally last a few minutes to as much as an hour. Once settled in, your reading will level out and you should see a steady trend line.
