Wet Circuits Power Strips Available NOW!

Wet Circuit power strips are now available. Get these amazing power strips today! Wet Circuit power strips are now available. Prevent electrical shocks and potential fire!

Our WetCircuits products were designed to prevent accidental electrocutions, minimize chances of appliances short circuiting and burning out, and eliminate the fires caused by cords overheating.

Our patented designed Wet Circuit products can effectively prevent:

•Electric shocks from water spill or submersion
•Electric shocks from accidental touch
•Electric shocks from inserting of metal objects
•Fire caused by carbon accumulation due to sparks*
•Fire due to internal wiring overheating
*Tiny sparks are often generated upon inserting a plug into electrical sockets. This caused the copper plates in the socket to carbonize, which can lead to overheating over a period of time.

Our products are made with the intention to be water resistant. Our patented design and special protective material minimize the flow of electricity when in contact with water. This allows machines that you have plugged in to keep working while you are protected from being electrocuted.

Wet Circuits perfect under these scenarios:
•Accidental water spilled on the outlets
•Occasional rain (and snow!)
•Wet hands
•Temporary flooding (Do not submerge it under water from more than 2 hours. Special protective material may wear off after prolonged exposure under water.)

ChildSafe Protection
Each year, close to 4,000 injuries associated with electrical outlets are treated in U.S. emergency rooms every year, says the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. About 1/3 of these occur when kids looking to explore insert metal objects like keys, tweezers, hairpins, or their wet little fingers into the outlets. Severe burns and death often ensues. There are over 100 children die every year in the United States after these accidental electrocution.

Our products help prevent these tragic accidents from happening. The patented design ensures electric power may only be conducted when a proper plug is 100% inserted into the outlet.

Furthermore, Wet Circuits products are manufactured with poison free materials, so you do not need to worry if your pet dog (or baby) accidentally licks the socket.

Overheat Protection
Many residential fires are caused by overheating of extension cords. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that about 4,700 residential fires originate in extension cords each year, killing 50 persons and injuring some 280 others.

Overheating of extension cords can occur at the plug, at the socket, or over the entire length of the cord. Hot plugs and sockets are often caused by deteriorated connections to the cord wires.

Besides a fuse, Wet Circuits' patented designed product comes with a circuit breaker that discontinues any flow of electric power when our product reaches between 221°F~239°F (105°C~115°C), thus preventing fire caused by overloading.

Spark Prevention
Blue sparks are often generated upon plugging an appliance into the power socket. These sparks carbonize the contacting copper plates and may eventually lead to a possible fire if overheated.

Wet Circuits prevent blue sparks from even happening. Our special material prevents carbon from building up and overheating, thus keeping you and your home safe.

4x Lifespan
A normal power strip outlet can withstand 5,000 times of plug and unplug. Wet Circuits can do 4 times as much. That's 20,000 times!! What exactly does that number mean? If you unplug three times a day, the outlet can last for 18 years!

Each of our Wet Circuits product undergo stringent manufacturing protocols to ensure the upmost quality.

Your safety is our number 1 concern!

Crystal clear displays are always the goal of any aspiring Reef Hobbyist. As mainstays of the hobby, Activated Carbons and Phosphate Absorbing Medias go a long way towards the fulfillment of this goal by absorbing many of the impurities that accumulate in the water column. Incorporating these medias into the systems has traditionally been accomplished with the aid of filter bags and/or cartridges. However, this is far from being the most effective means of utilizing these products as the medias compact, flow-through declines and the surface area contact becomes compromised. Vertex Universal Media Reactors provide a practical solution by fluidizing the given medias, thereby eliminating the problem of compaction and allocating complete control of flow-through to the user.

EASY TO INSTAL AND OPERATE
Vertex Universal Media Reactors feature our Quick-Lock Screw top which eliminate the need to remove screws in order to open the reactor for media exchange. The acrylic lid settles into a seated O-ring, allowing for leak-free seal and effortless removal. To make installation a breeze all necessary parts are supplied in order to hard-plumb the unit or connect via soft hose. Furthermore any necessary flow adjustment is possible using the high quality Valve supplied.

Ultralife DUAL UV Sterilizer & Ozone Generator Now Available

Now available at Premium Aquatics is Ultralife's Dual UV Sterilizer and Ozone Generator!

You have heard of UV Sterilizers, right?
How about Ozone Generators?

Of course. Well, Ultralife has taken these to the next step, by combining both into one unit. The Ultrazone-DUAL.

Ozone is by far the best way to boost your water quality. The Ultrazone-DUAL cleans up aquarium water by removing unwanted organic decay, proteins and pollutants. By eliminating harmful organics, ozone increases the longevity of all marine life. These units manufacture ozone by passing oxygen molecules over a specially designed light source. The active oxygen is used to create superior water quality, providing aquarium inhabitants with a clean environment for living and reproducing.

The Ultrazone-DUAL is designed in such a way that the same light source used to produce ozone, is encased and a special quartz glass sleeve to generate UV light. As water flows past this quartz sleeve it receives the many benefits of UV sterilization.

The Ultrazone-DUAL units work equally well with with venturi reactors or venturi protein skimmers. Allowing for a maximum flow rates up to 1000 GPH, these units are designed to be used with your favorite water pumps.

The features include: water tight gasketted housing, hard quartz sleeve, inline bulb replacement, high efficiency remote electronic ballast as well as a compact design. Made in the USA and has a 1 year warranty on the Unit and Ballast, and 30 days on the Bulb and Quartz Sleeve.

The Ultrazone-DUAL is an excellent choice for Freshwater, Saltwater and Pond applications.

Based on a 70,000 æW sec/cm2 (microwatt seconds per square centimeter) the flow rates are as follows:

40 Watt UV Unit 1000 gph

By changing the flow rate through the unit you will change the effective "kill power" of the UV unit.

For example: If you only allow 500 gph thru the unit, you will effectively increase the kill power to 140,000 æW sec/cm2 (microwatt seconds per square centimeter). And also the opposite, by increasing the flow rate you will lower the "kill power".

We have included a chart to help you calculate your flow rate depending on the "kill power" needed for the corresponding Micro-Organisms.

Waterborne Algae 15,000 to 30,000 æW sec/cm2
Common Bacteria 15,000 to 30,000 æW sec/cm2
Protozoa (Ich) 45,000 æW sec/cm2
Fungi 45,000 æW sec/cm2

The Ultrazone-DUAL is designed for safety, performance and low maintenance. These generators do not require air dryer as is the case with other ozone generators and can be used with aquariums up to 600 gallons and have bulb life of approximately 9000 hours.

NOTE: The Standard model allows for continuous UV & Ozone production or when used with an ORP controller, both the UV and Ozone Production turn on & off as the controller calls for ozone.

Mysis Relicta -- Natural fish food,for finicky saltwater and freshwater fish, by Piscine Energetics
MYSIS are especially interesting because of their nutritional value coupled with their unique applications to salt water as well as freshwater fish husbandry; these qualities have already been recognized by many fish curators, dealers, retailers, breeders, and hobbyists.

The notable qualities of MYSIS

-Completely Natural: Unlike many processed fish foods, MYSIS are (or very closely resemble) a food item which fish would normally contact within their native environment.
- High Protein: The protein content is in excess of that normally recommended for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.
- High Animal Fat: Mysis relicta make nightly vertical migrations from 360 feet to the surface to eat, then return to 360 feet at daybreak. These migrations require enormous amounts of energy which is stored in MYSIS as animal fat. The consumption of MYSIS makes this energy available to fish for general metabolism, swimming, defending territory, and for reproduction.
- Sodium Free: MYSIS are truly "freshwater". The lack of salt intake for fish (especially for marine animals) is desirable since these fish are constantly struggling to expel salt from their bodies.
- Fish Eat Them: It has been well noted that the most finicky fish will eat MYSIS with enthusiasm. Credible sources (references available) report that discus, seahorses (including the leafy sea dragon), tangs, and butterfly fishes will eat MYSIS eagerly (even when stressed or poorly acclimating)! It is a naturally occurring fatty acid in Mysis relicta that initiates this positive feeding response in fish and only Mysis relicta has such naturally high quantities of it.

YES, THEY ARE MYSIDS... however they differ from other "mysis" on the market in two distinct ways:

1. MYSIS are 100% Mysis relicta; they belong to the family of Mysidae and are not merely lumped into a "mysis category" like many other small crustaceans whether they are truly mysids or not.
2. MYSIS (Mysis relicta) are a "completely freshwater" species of the Mysidae family; other Mysis species on the market may be a coastal (estuarine) or marine cousin of Mysis relicta.

1. What is mysis?
Mysis relicta is a freshwater species of the Opossum Shrimps. Mysis are not a true shrimp though they do closely resemble and are, in fact a primitive relative of the shrimp found in the oceans. The title Opossum comes from the fact that the adult females carry their young in a brood pouch until fully developed.

Mysis are native to glacial lakes on the East side of the continental divide, and are a true glacial relict (hence the name relicta). As the polar ice cap pushed southward during the last ice age, it carried pockets of salt water and the marine ancestor of the present mysids. When the ice receded, it left newly created lakes complete with shrimp that evolved into the form present today.

More recently, man has increased the range of this species by transplanting it to lakes across the continent. Mysis is not native to British Columbia and was introduced to at least twenty lakes there from the late 1940's and through to the early 1980's. Given the negative impact mysids exert on zooplankton communities and Kokanee, it is thought that their removal may be beneficial to the ecosystem.

Mysis are considered a part of the zooplankton, the small invertebrate animals found in all lakes that feed on microscopic algae (phytoplankton) as well as other zooplankton. In turn these organisms form the basis of the food supply for many fish.

There are however, two major differences between Mysis and the other zooplankton typically found in lakes. First, Mysis have a longer lifespan. The typical zooplankton, composed of animals known as copepods, cladocerans and rotifers, live anywhere from only several days to several months. In our lakes, populations of these animals may complete a number of generations in the course of a year. Usually they become very abundant during the summer months and very sparse during the winter.

Mysis on the other hand, usually live two years. Adults breed during the winter. The young are carried in the brood pouch until late spring or early summer when they are then released to grow for another year and a half before they breed and complete the life cycle.

The second difference is size. Mysis range in size from newly released young of about one-eight inch to adults of up to 3/4 inch. The other zooplankton are normally much smaller ranging from one one-hundredth to one tenth of an inch in total length.

It is the size of the Mysis that makes them of interest as a fish food.The picture shown here is magnified several times with the tip of a small skewer as a reference. Because they are much larger than the zooplankton that fish normally feed upon, they are an excellent food item. Fish that consistently feed on Mysis grow much faster than those feeding strictly on the other smaller zooplankton. Mysis are extremely high in nutritional value and are salt free.

ReefPods™ Moina Salina

Moina salina live and feed in the water column and will eat a wide assortment of foods, including microalgae. The adults produce juveniles which are an excellent transitional food for seahorses and other fish that require live feeds for protracted periods. All sizes of Moina salina entice aquarium fish to feed. Although not as easily established as Tisbe, once established they will reproduce quickly, growing to adults in several days. The juvenile are smaller than 500 microns, making them suitable for larger fish larvae and small juvenile fish.

ReefPods™ Acartia

ReefPods™ Acartia is a live culture of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa. Acartia live and feed in the water column and will eat suspended detritus and microalage. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by numerous plankton feeding fish. Once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about 12 days. The nauplii are smaller than 120 microns, making them suitable for many fish larvae.

ReefPods™ Parvocalanus

ReefPods™ Parvocalanus is a live culture of the calanoid copepod Parvocalanus crassirostris. Parvocalanus adult copepods live in the water column and eat microalgae in the water column aquarium. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for hard to feed aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by very small plankton eating fish. Although not as easily established as Tisbe, once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to reproductive adults in about 8 days. The nauplii are smaller than 45-100 micrometers wide, making them suitable for extremely small fish larvae and “small-mouthed” sessile invertebrate.

ReefPods™ Pseudodiaptomus

ReefPods™ Pseudodiaptomus is a live culture of the calanoid copepod Pseudodiaptomus pelagicus. Pseudodiaptoms adult copepods live and feed in the water column and will eat detritus and microalgae. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by numerous water-column feeding fish such as clowns, dwarf angels, anthias and seahorses, to name just a few. Once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about 12 days. The nauplii are smaller than 160 micrometers wide, making them suitable for many fish larvae.

ReefPods™ Tangerine is a live culture of a large unidentified calanoid copepod, most likely in the Family Temoridae. Tangerine adult copepods live in the water column and will eat small suspended detritus particles and microalgae in the aquarium. They produce a large nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by numerous water-column feeding fish such as clowns, dwarf angels, anthias and seahorses, to name just a few. Although not as easily established as Tisbe, once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to reproductive adults in about 15 days. The nauplii are smaller than 100-200 micrometers wide, making them suitable for many fish larvae.

ReefPods™ Tisbe

ReefPods™ Tisbe is a live culture of the harpacticoid copepod Tisbe biminiensis. Tisbe adult copepods live on bottom substrate such as live rock or sand and will eat detritus and microalage in the aquarium. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by small bottom feeding fish such as gobies, dragonettes and blennies. Once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about nine days. The nauplii are smaller than 45-140 micrometers wide, making them suitable for many fish larvae.

PhycoPure™ CopePod Blend Phytoplankton

PhycoPure CopePod Blend is a unique blend of live PhytoPlankton. Designed specifically to grow a number of marine copepods species. PhycoPureTM CopePod BlendTM is tested free of pathogens. PhycoPure CopePod Blend is nutritionally balanced to enhance animals health. PhycoPureTM CopePod BlendTM has no preservatives. PhycoPureTM CopePod BlendTM contains 2 strains of algae including one diatom PhycoPureTM CopePod BlendTM is a great enrichment to gut load rotifers and Artemia.

Contains: Chaetoceros, T- Isochrysus

PhycoPure CopePod Blend is a blend of LIVE microalgae specifically assembled for use as a primary feed for calanoid and harpacticoid COPEPODS. True pelagic(calanoids) and numerous benthic species (harpacticoids) will only eat live microalgae. Live microalgae is essential to produce and maintain copepod populations. You can raise your own phytoplankton cultures and we support this wholeheartedly but in the absence of doing this, using AlgaGen’s PhycoPureTM Copepod Blend is the perfect approach. Simply add 1-2 caps per gallon per day or as the water gets cleared out.

Aquarists have reported great results when fed to clams, species specific corals (gorgonians, brain corals, mushroom corals, leathers, montipora, carnations), feather dusters, tube worms, sponges and certain anemones. It can also be used to gut load rotifers and Artemia. PhycoPure CopePod Blend is cultured in purified natural Atlantic Ocean water and should be refrigerated. PhycoPure CopePod Blend has no preservatives, is not subjected to harsh processing steps and is batch processed to ensure quality.

PhycoPure™ Reef Blend

PhycoPure™ Reef Blend is a unique product. It contains 7 different types of microalgae as well as a dinoflagellate, zooxanthellae. It is grown in natural seawater that has been ozonated, charcoal filtered and uv treated. PhycoPure™ Reef Blend offers a wide range of particle sizes and nutritional content that, individually, have been proven very effective in various aquaculture farms, and projects. Just like humans, animals require some level of variety in a food source. It is understandable that no single food provides 100% of the necessary nutrition required for good health. Hence the blend of phytoplankton in PhycoPure™ Reef Blend. Read more at www.AlgaGen.com

SeaSwirl 1.5" & Sequence Hammerhead Hybrid Combo Package

Now available for the ultimate wave creation! Purchase this 1.5" SeaSwirl & Sequence Hammerhead/Barracuda Hybrid pump combo package and receive 15% off the retail price! At this great of a price, don't miss out on having an excellent wavemaking system in your aquarium!

SeaSwirl Specs:
The 1.5'’ Sea Swirl Model satisfies the need for an oscillating device for large aquariums to create a broad oscillating current, not linear current like our competitors at an economical price and it is very energy efficient too!

Using our customer’s request’s and needs for a higher flow product for over 4 years now, we have developed and tested the 1.5'’ SeaSwirl Model with great success.

The 1.5'’ Sea Swirl Model was designed for tanks 180 gals. and up and offers the truly smallest footprint area seen in the aquarium of only 2-1/4'’

The 1.5'’ Sea Swirl is to be used with the Low Wattage/ High Flow pumps such as ReeFlo Snapper, Dart, Barracuda and Hammerhead along with many of the Dolphin line of aquarium pumps that people use to return water to their tank. When using the 1.5'’ model it is to be hard-plumbed only!

Also, with the optional 2'’ outlet the 1.5'’ Sea Swirl will produce exceptionally wide gentle circulation.

Two units mounted in opposite corners(front/rear) in the aquarium would cover every area of the tank with ‘’swaying’‘ motion which is seen in nature. This motion is not fast like some of the products on the market, but will produce a strong ‘’wave-crashing’‘ motion then a very calm current will follow as the Sea Swirl oscillates.
As corals grow into high current areas in the aquarium if the current is Linear the corals will tend to shed tissue and possibly even perish, grow around the linear/pulsed current or stop growing all together to avoid the straight line current. Check out the Penn State video with Dr. Sanjay Joshi on our home page! Not so with oscillating current as it is always changing from strong to calm, just like the natural current pattern in the ocean.

With our 12 years in the industry producing our smaller Sea Swirl models here in United States plus the added superior repair and customer service over this time you are assured of a quality product.
To back up this statement we are giving a 2 year warranty(supplied info card must be sent in to Aquarium Currents).....One of the BEST in the Industry compared to our competitors!

Since you have a return water line into the aquarium anyway, why not oscillate it and enjoy the benefits....Nature-like current produced......Economically priced, at almost half the cost of our competition!......only 3 watts of power to operate the 1.5'’ Sea Swirl...... It IS the MOST energy efficient oscillating product on the market that flows up to 5800gph!
