It's late and I keep staring at this aquarium overflow from Mame. I start at the main pipe, go through down pipe, then up through L pipe and suddenly I am back at the main pipe. I repeat. I am in some crazed House of Stairs that Escher built. I want out, but I can't stop because it is hypnotic hand-blown glass.

The Mame Overflow

Covey would have an answer to this. I know it. Back to the main pipe.

ReefBrite's new LED Magnifying Glass is one of those tools that you never realized you were doing without. With a ring of white and blue LEDS (independently controlled) you now can find that frag that fell behind the rocks or go blue and see those Montipora Eating Nudibranches. The list goes on and on. You might not get much sleep the first night you have this great new LED light from ReefBrite.

Precision Marine is bringing the limewood airstone driven protein skimmer back with it's new Hot1v2 hang-on-the-back skimmer model rated for up to 50 gallons. Hey it's a start and I'll take it. This old-timer has said it for years, I miss airstone driven skimmers. My old 24x6 gravity-fed whisper air-pump skimmers cranked out the crud. To this day, they are hard to match for bubble density. It's great to see PM rethinking the old-school way to skim with some interesting new features. More below.

The Hot1v2 has a side-mounted airstone for quick access. Drain the 1st chamber with the ballvalve and unscrew the airstone from the side. No more airline through your skimmer cup lid and down the reaction chamber and no more air hose off the top. Cool. 8)

“The Waterfall Globe Aquarium gives hobbyists, with limited space, the opportunity to experience the soothing sights and sounds of freshwater fish,” commented Curt Nuenighoff, Director of Marketing - Environments for United Pet Group Aquatics. “This unique product provides movement through a waterfall, which will improve the overall health of the fish while offering the fishkeeper a distinct visual experience through beautiful, white LED’s.”
