    1. Aquarium controllers are a convenient way to keep an eye on the various water parameters in your aquarium. Aquarium Monitors allow continuous readings of your aquarium’s pH, ORP, salinity and temperature.

    2. A protein skimmer or foam fractionator is a device used mostly in saltwater aquaria to remove organic compounds from the water before they break down into nitrogenous waste.

    3. A quality aquarium water heater or chiller is necessary if you intend to maintain a successful tropical freshwater, marine fish or reef system. Temperature fluctuations often go unnoticed by aquarists and can cause stress to fish and corals.

    5. A powerhead is a submersible water pump generally used for water circulation within an aquarium or to power a protein skimmer. External water pumps, available in a variety of sizes, may be used as return pumps (from a sump or wet/dry filter), for closed loop circulation or to drive a protein skimmer.
