Protein Skimmers Every, efficiently managed modern marine aquarium either has or will benefit from a high performance protein skimmer. The best skimmers feature counter-current reaction tubes with high pressure pumps driving a dense water and air mixture into the skimmer via a needle wheel or venturi setup. We stock all the best models from Aqua Medic, Skimm and V2.
Powerheads & Water Pumps You will not succeed in maintaining a good, healthy selection of corals at home without great water circulation via a number of power heads. In addition the ability to circulate water to and from a sump or refugium is frequently demanded by modern reef keepers. At TAM we stock power heads for even the smallest nano reef and on upwards to the largest water pumps capable of thousands of litres per hour.
UV Sterilizer Units A great Ultra Sterilizer makes marine keeping seem easy. Diseases of both fish and corals are controlled or eliminated, some types of algae and water born cloudiness are also destroyed leaving your fish and corals in the very best, infection free condition. Always buy a size bigger than you think you need to be sure of the best performance.
Sea Salt The best brands at the best prices. We stock sea salt mixes from Tropic Marin, Instant ocean and Aqua One with reef salts also from Pro Reef and Reef Crystals. You will be surprised at the difference made when changing from a cheap, budget salt to one of our premium quality brands - less algae and better fish and coral colours are the most obvious improvements.
Marine Additives In a limited volume, the complex trace element content of sea water is quickly depleted leaving fish and corals to struggle on. Although water changes will help here the only true solution is to replace depleted trace elements in a bio-available form that your livestock can make use of.
Marine Substrate A natural marine substrate is an essential item in the creation of a realistic seawater environment in your aquarium. All the sand and gravel we stock at Tropical and Marine is coral based and therefore has a superb golden appearance as well as a massive surface area for bacteria and micro-fauna fto attach themselves to.
Marine Hydrometers Maintaining an accurate salinity or specific gravity is a small but essential part of marine keeping. It's a little known fact that few hydrometers are in fact accurate enough for fish keeping use. We stock only the best hydrometers from the leading manufacturers, including Instant Ocean and Aqua One.
