For stable water conditions"Marine Safe Balance" is the new stabiliser for good water conditions in marine aquaria from Tetra. With Tetra's reportedly unique "3 in1" solution, the product adjusts the pH to an optimal level for marine environments (between pH 8.0 and 8.5). In addition, KH is kept stable, thus avoiding a decrease in the acidity level that would endanger animals and plants. The product also adds trace elements and vitamin B to the water, creating a good habitat for fish and invertebrates. For maximum effect, the product should be used on a weekly basis, according to Tetra.www.tetra.deMinimum of spaceThe tried and tested nano principle has now been transferred by Dennerle to the marine sphere with some innovative new products. The new "Nano Marinus" range from the company offers a complete marine product range in the minimum of space.

Tetra emphasises that all are scientifically formulated special foods in a nutritious gel, enriched with protein, omega fats, vitamins and minerals. Their fresh taste should ensure high acceptance by marine fish, while the patented "Bio Active" formula promotes a long and healthy life.www.tetra.deSkimmer for salt waterJuwel Aquarium's strategy in respect of marine aquariums began with the introduction of "T5 lighting" as a standard fitment to all its aquariums back in 2007. A range of "T5" tubes allowed consumers to customise the use of their aquarium. The next step has been to develop a skimmer. The company emphasises that, like the "Juwel Filter system", the "skimmer 3.0" is mounted inside the aquarium to avoid any external pipework. Juwel used a slimline collection cup that sits neatly above the flap system. All future aquariums from the company will come with a cut-out for the collection cup, and the company says that older models can easily be upgraded…
