Getting Some One on One with the ATI PowerCone
Our extensive coverage of the ATI PowerCone protein skimmer has finally paid off. After introducing it and writing about the various updates it has received, ATI North America and Clear Choice Distribution have generously sent us a PowerCone 200i for a product review. And while it hasn’t been in our hands for long, we’ve got [...]
Preliminary Review of Miguel Tolosa’s Practical Coral Farming 2nd Ed.
Recently, our mailbox greeted us with a pleasant surprise in the form of a new book, the 2nd edition of Practical Coral Farming by Miguel Tolosa. Admittedly, we haven’t read the book from cover to cover since we’ve only had it a couple of days, hence the reason why this is just a preliminary review, [...]
Long Term Product Review of the RLSS R6-i Cone Skimmer
Sometimes our product reviews take a little time to fully complete. We strive to test the equipment under both normal and abnormal operating conditions for an extended period of time in an attempt to really gague how the equipment responds. Such is the case for a RLSS R6-i protein skimmer we received last year. We [...]
Pure Marine from Evolution Aqua Offers a New Way to Dose Bacteria
Last week, Marine Depot sent us new product called Pure Marine to review. Not being ones to shy away from an experiment or a new product, we gladly jumped on the chance to get a first hand look at the bacteria dosing product. But before we could get our hands wet, we had to find [...]
Hands on With the RLSS R6-i Protein Skimmer
As we mentioned yesterday on the AquaNerd Facebook Page, we got a large and mysterious box delivered to our doorstep. Unlike the usual shipments of cardboard wrapped aquarium equipment, this one came in a solid wood box, which only added to the excitement of what was inside. Little did we know that the beefy box [...]
Churning Up Waves with the Sea Sweep from Aquarium Currents
At MACNA last year, we encountered the then brand new Sea Sweep from Aquarium Currents, and just prior to the big show this year, we’ve gotten our hands on one for an unboxing and product review. Unlike the older Classic Sea Swirl, a workhorse for Aquarium Currents for the past 14 years, and their new [...]
Taking the New AccuDrip for a Test Drive
A couple of days ago, we wrote about the newest addition to the Innovative Marine Auqa Gadget lineup, the AccuDrip aquarium livestock acclimation device. Well, we were fortunate enough to get our hands on one of these new gadgets, and after a full week of fish and coral acclimation, we can safely say it truly [...]
Vertex ROX 0.8 is Some Teeny Tiny Carbon
Always on the hunt for something new, we picked up some Vertex ROX 0.8 activated carbon to try out earlier in the week. Now, we’ve handled our fair share of carbon products over the years, trying out everything from the large cylindrical pellets from most brands to the flaky particles of others, but this carbon [...]
Unboxing JBJ USA’s New Generation LED Nano-Cube
Back in May, JBJ USA unveiled a brand new and long awaited line of New Generation LED Nano-Cubes. These new nano aquariums didn’t really see any changes to the tanks themselves, a move that we loved by the way, but were decked out with an entirely new canopy system that was packed full of powerful [...]
Flipper Algae Magnet a Huge Time Saver for Coralline Algae Scraping
You might recall that we wrote about the Flipper magnetic algae scraper a few months ago. Well, the guys who developed this interesting scraper sent us one over the weekend for a little test drive. While we did the typical unboxing to familiarize ourselves with the product and fire off a few photos, we simply [...]
