The EV-120 earned the reputation as one of the most compact performance skimmers on the market.
Only 18″ tall, the new 120 continues this tradition of super foam fractionation in a compact package. This skimmer should easily fit in your sump and with its raised gate valve (10″) you won’t need to worry about inconsistent performance due to sump fluctuations. No other skimmer on the market can generate this much foam and performance from such a small pump. read more....

The Aquaripure filter is a comprehensive biological filter which will completely remove all organic matter and nitrates in an Aquarium. This type of filter is also known as a denitrator, denitrifier, biodenitrator, anaerobic biological filter, or simply a nitrate filter. Other biological filters only convert organic matter into nitrates which then accumulate in the aquarium, physical filters only remove larger particulate matter, and skimmers do not remove any nitrates. The Aquaripure uses beneficial bacteria to break down invisible organic matter and nitrates completely into Nitrogen gas which then escapes into the atmosphere. This same process is even used by some water treatment plants to make wastewater safe for human consumption and to clean polluted water. The Aquaripure does this in an extremely safe and controlled environment and after the water from the Aquaripure is aerated there is nothing left but pure, clean, crystal clear water.
Get more info at the Aquaripure website.
If you have this filter or have any thoughts on it please drop us some comments. I’m seriously thinking about buying this but I am a little skeptical.

Our friends over at Aquarium Architecture sent us over some pictures of a project they did and I wanted to share them with everyone. They are based in the UK. Definitely check out their site. They do some incredible work.
