This really limits an aquarist's options and, in some cases, obstructs the view. Having a powerhead that can be pointed in all directions is nothing new, but the hardware to make that happen usually takes up too much space and is unsightly. The WAV answers both of these problems with a new take on an articulating mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough research, Neptune Systems found that most customers usually never need to point their pump at extreme angles - usually 20 degrees one direction or another is enough. This is the approach Neptune Systems took with the WAV. With its innovative, low-profile magnetic mount, you get up to 40-degree range of motion on the pivot and then the entire pump rotates 360 degrees. This provides so many more options than flow that comes straight out from the side or back of the aquarium. Imagine mounting the WAV on the back, side glass or even the back wall, set an angle, and kicking the flow off the side or front glass. You get the flow where you need it and you stop blocking the beautiful side views of your aquarium!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize Matters When it Comes to the Pump Wire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen it comes to any powerhead pump, the smaller the wire, the better - the easier it is to hide. This is true both inside as well as outside the aquarium. Some pumps put the wire and motor on the outside of the aquarium and claim that this has a better aesthetic look - but there still is a wire.

However, solutions of different type of salts have different refractive indexes. Brine is a solution of Sodium Chloride (table salt) that contains 2 chemical elements. Seawater contains approximately 70 chemical elements that include Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium etc. in addition to the Sodium Chloride. Seawater and Brine of the same salinity (i.e. the same weight of salt\/liter) have different refractive indexes and will give different salinity readings if measured on the same refractometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefraction \u0026amp;; Refractive Index\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAll transparent materials such as liquids refract (distort) light. All transparent materials refract light differently and have what is called a \"refractive index\" which means how much a particular material distorts light. Different concentrations of the same liquid have different refractive indexes. The scale of a refractometer is calculated by using a mathematical algorithm that relates the measured refraction to its concentration for a specific liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive Index and Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe refractive index of liquids change with temperature and therefore has a major effect on measuring salinity with a refractometer.

Chemical test kits have limited accuracy and resolution since they rely upon the human eye to discern differences in color. Professional instrumentation incorporates a light source such as an LED or tungsten lamp with a filter and a light sensing detector to precisely determine absorbance and ion concentration. Professional instrumentation offers greater resolution and accuracy but can cost hundreds of dollars.

Chemical test kits have limited accuracy and resolution since they rely upon the human eye to discern differences in color. Professional instrumentation incorporates a light source such as an LED or tungsten lamp with a filter and a light sensing detector to precisely determine absorbance and ion concentration. Professional instrumentation offers greater resolution and accuracy but can cost hundreds of dollars. The Hanna Marine Alkalinity Checker HC uses a fixed wavelength LED and silicon photo detector to provide the accuracy of professional instrumentation at the affordable price of a chemical test kit. 6 month limited warranty.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Reagents for HI772 (25 Tests) ( Mfg# HI772-26 )","offer_id":48509168877811,"sku":"109027","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Marine Alkalinity ppm (Mfg# HI755)","offer_id":48509168910579,"sku":"95841","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Marine Alkalinity dKH (Mfg# HI772)","offer_id":48509168943347,"sku":"109025","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg-95841-87007K_001_UBLA.jpg?v=1771033308"},{"product_id":"red-sea-calcium-pro-test-kit","title":"Red Sea Calcium Pro Test Kit","description":"\u003ctable cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced calcium titration test kit great for coral reef aquariums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-held titration system streamlines calcium testing process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy accuracy and convenience testing aquarium calcium levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nKeep on top of coral reef aquarium care with hassle-free calcium titration testing.

Although all the elements found in natural seawater have an important role in providing the optimal water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in the overall stability. These elements are the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements, Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Bi-Carbonates (HCO3).

Conventional colorimetric (color matching) iodine tests involve constant monitoring of a chemical reaction.

This element is important to the coral skeleton and soft tissue and is specifically important for SPS corals to display their natural pigments. Iodine is related to the pink chromo-protein (pocciloporin) and proper iodine supplementation encourages enhanced coral coloration for a stunning and vibrantly-colored reef aquarium. However, iodine becomes toxic in concentrations above the levels found in natural seawater. Therefore, correct dosage of iodine supplements and routine iodine testing is crucial to the health and success of any reef aquarium.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e2 Glass Vials\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction Manual\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor Card\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSyringe 10ml\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReagent A - 25ml\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReagent B - 50ml\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard  - 12g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Iodine Pro Test Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRinse the vial marked \"standard\" and syringe with RO or distilled water and dry thoroughly.\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing the syringe provided, place exactly 5 ml of RO water into the standard vial, close the vial firmly with the cap and place the vial into the aquarium for 10 minutes to allow the water in the vial to reach the temperature of the aquarium water.\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 10 min., take the standard vial out of the aquarium and add 1 level measuring spoon of Iodine standard 0.06 ppm powder.

Uneaten food and other decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. A natural mechanism exists that controls ammonia – the biological filter. It is made up of nitrifying bacteria, which live in the substrate and biological filter media. However, as with any natural process, imbalances can occur. Testing for the presence of toxic ammonia is essential, so that once detected, steps can be taken to remove it. Otherwise, ammonia will damage gill membranes, and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death.

Beneficial bacteria in the biological filter convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. A high nitrate level indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds, resulting in poor water quality and contributing to the likelihood of fish disease. Excessive nitrate also provides a nitrogen source that can stimulate algal blooms. In the opinion of many aquarists, maintaining a low nitrate level improves the health of fish and invertebrates.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Testing Nitrate\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill a clean test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested (to the line on the tube).\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 10 drops from Nitrate Test Solution Bottle # 1, holding dropper bottle upside down in a completely vertical position to ensure uniformity of drops added to the water sample.\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCap the test tube and invert tube several times to mix solution.

Reef organisms use calcium to build a calcium carbonate skeleton. Over time, as the calcium in the water is used up, the calcium level will gradually drop. Calcium must be present for corals to grow. Even reef invertebrates, such as shrimp, crabs, mollusks, and encrusting algae require calcium to grow and remain healthy. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nCalcium level drops as it is used by invertebrates or as it reacts with excess phosphate. Making a partial water change may help to maintain proper calcium levels, depending on the brand of salt mix. Special calcium additives are also available. Elevated phosphate precipitates calcium, rendering it unavailable to reef organisms. Phosphate enters the aquarium from tap water and as a byproduct of fish and invertebrate metabolism. If necessary, remove excess phosphate. However, just having an adequate calcium level is not enough to achieve healthy coral growth, because the growth of corals is directly linked to carbonate hardness (KH), often referred to as alkalinity. All reef organisms rely on the combination of calcium and carbonate to build their skeleton structure by extracting these substances from saltwater. These two building blocks are essential for the growth of corals, crustaceans, mollusks, coralline algae and calcareous forms of macroalgae. Testing for both carbonate hardness and calcium is essential for successful reef keeping. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTesting Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis test kit reads the calcium concentration in milligrams per liter (mg\/L), which is equivalent to parts per million (ppm).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Testing Calcium Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRead instructions thoroughly before testing.

These minerals are present in municipal, well, and bottled spring water. The level of carbonate hardness in tap and bottled water depends on the source of the water and the treatment process it has undergone. Carbonate hardness helps stabilize pH in the aquarium.

It is made up of nitrifying bacteria, which live in the substrate and biological filter media. However, as with any natural process, imbalances can occur. Testing for the presence of toxic ammonia is essential, so that once detected, steps can be taken to remove it. Otherwise, ammonia will damage gill membranes, and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death.

Uneaten food and other decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. A natural mechanism exists that controls ammonia – the biological filter. It is made up of nitrifying bacteria, which live in the substrate and biological filter media. However, as with any natural process, imbalances can occur. Testing for the presence of toxic ammonia is essential, so that once detected, steps can be taken to remove it. Otherwise, ammonia will damage gill membranes, and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death.

The AFS requires firmware of at least 4.30_BA13. You can determine the firmware version your controller is running by looking at the beginning of any XML report or by going to the Network Setup web page and looking at the bottom of the page. If your firmware is not at that level or greater, please download and apply the latest version from Neptune's support web page where you'll find updates for both PC's and Mac's as well as complete instructions. Your controller will not recognize the AFS or create the appropriate outlet if you are not on a compatible level of firmware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlug one end of the included AquaBus cable into either of the AquaBus ports on the AFS and the other end into an available AquaBus port anywhere on your existing Apex system. It makes no difference which AquaBus port is used and you do not need to power down the system when connecting AquaBus accessories as the system is plug-and-play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWARNING: NEVER plug standard USB devices into any AquaBus connector or AquaBus accessories into computer USB ports. Damage to the AquaBus accessory and\/or USB device may result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStartup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs soon as the AFS is connected to an active AquaBus, it will power up and begin to initialize. When first connected to an Apex Base Unit (through the AquaBus), the AFS will automatically be assigned an AquaBus address and be added to the Apex list of outlets. The LED Status indicator on the AFS will flash yellow while it is being initialized. This only takes a second or two. Once initialized, the LED Status indicator will be solid green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerify the Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVerify the AFS was initialized and added to the Apex configuration:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApex Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e Setup\u0026gt;; Module Setup\u0026gt;; Modify Name - From this screen, you can see all AquaBus modules installed on the system.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Configuration\u0026gt;; Module Setup - Verify the AFS is listed in the Apex Module List and note the module number assigned to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn outlet will be automatically created called 'Feeder_X_1' where 'X' rep resents the module number assigned to the AFS. For example, if your feeder was assigned Aquabus address #4 the outlet would be named 'Feeder_4_1'. Like any other outlet, you can change this name if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguring and testing the AFS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere is no configuration necessary with the AFS. Once the outlet is created, you can begin programming it. To test the outlet to see if it's active, simply set the outlet to ON via the Dashboard, the Display or your smart phone app. The feeding drum should extend, rotate one time then retract back into the AFS. You can then turn the outlet to AUTO and begin programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProgramming Examples\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe following examples will help you quickly program your system to use the AFS.

Optionally, you can begin with the Wizard (see above), let the wizard create the program then switch modes to Advanced and modify the program the Wizard created for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the program created by the Wizard in the first scenario: Single feeding at Noon, single rotation:\u003cbr\u003e\nOSC 000:00\/000:30\/000:30 Then On\u003cbr\u003e\nif Time 00:00 to 1\u003cbr\u003e\n2:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nif Time 12:02 to 00:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nif FeedA 000 Then On\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to programming the AFS is understanding that the feeder drum will rotate once every time power is applied. That's where the Oscillate statement comes in. It turns the outlet ON for 30 seconds then OFF. The 'If Time' statements keep the outlet OFF the rest of the time - in this example all day with the exception of 12:00:00-12:01:59. The Oscillate statement starts at 12:00 with 30 seconds OFF followed by 30 seconds ON (which causes the feed drum to extend, rotate and retract). This happens once and the outlet then goes OFF until the next day at noon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the code created by the Wizard for the last example: Feed twice a day at 1pm and 5pm, 3 drum rotations each time:\u003cbr\u003e\nOSC 00\u003cbr\u003e\n0:00\/000:30\/000:30 Then On\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 00:00 to 13:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 13:04 to 17:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 17:04 to 00:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf FeedA 000 Then On\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote that each 'If Time' statement is longer-4 minutes instead of 2 which gives you the 3 x 1 minute rotations plus a little time so the outlet doesn't turn OFF too early. If you wanted a different number of drum rotations at each feeding, simply adjust the times accordingly - 2 minutes for a single rotation, 3 minutes for 2 rotations, 4 minutes for 3 rotations, etc. This way you could have 2 rotations at the 1pm feeding but 4 rotations at the 5pm feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne final note about the program the wizard creates. You'll note there's an 'If Feed' statement automatically inserted at the end of the program. This gives you the ability to manually activate the feeder whenever you want and get a single feed rotation. Simply select that feed timer from the Display module, the Dashboard or your smart phone application and the AFS will be activated for a single drum rotation feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SectionHeading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptions you can Incorporate in your Feed Strategy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSince the AFS understands all the Apex commands, probes and switches, you can incorporate these into your feed program for the ultimate in control. For example, you can suspend feeding if your water quality is below a certain point by checking your ORP or pH levels:\u003cbr\u003e\nOSC 000:00\/000:30\/000:30 Then On\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 00:00 to 13:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 13:04 to 17:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf Time 17:04 to 00:00 Then Off\u003cbr\u003e\nIf FeedA 000 Then On\u003cbr\u003e\nIf ORP \u0026lt;; 300 Then OFF (Add this statement at the end of your program)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also suspend feeding if any alarm conditions are TRUE simply by checking the condition of your Email alarm outlet. For example, add the following at the end of your feed program:\nIf Outlet EmailAlm_I5 = ON Then OFF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother possible exception, suppose you want to suspend feeding on a particular day each week. Again, with the Apex controller it's easy to do. Add the following code to the end of your feed program if you want to skip feedings on Saturdays (for more information on the Day of Week command, see the Comprehensive Reference Manual at Neptune's support web site):\nIf DOW------S Then OFF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuppose you make use of float switches as part of your aquarium control strategy - perhaps to tell you your sump is low or your skimmer waste reservoir is full. Maybe you use a toggle switch to indicate a maintenance period has begun. You can incorporate a switch condition in your feed program:\nIf Switch3 CLOSED Then OFF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf Switch3 indicated you were in a maintenance mode and perhaps your pumps and skimmer are turned off, this would tell the feeder to skip this feeding. As soon as you complete maintenance mode and Switch3 goes back to OPEN, when the next feeding time arrives, the feeder will operate normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne final example. Here we want a complete feeding workflow:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitiate Feed cycle \u0026gt;; turn off return and skimmer \u0026gt;; wait 1 minute \u0026gt;; feed \u0026gt;; wait 10 min \u0026gt;; turn on return \u0026gt;; wait 5 min \u0026gt;; turn on skimmer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how you would accomplish that. First, you'll need a virtual outlet (for information on how to create virtual outlets, see the Comprehensive Reference Manual).

The DOS connects to any Apex via its AquaBus connection. The true versatility and functionality of the DOS comes to life via the software wizards built into Apex Fusion. This takes dosing to a whole new level in terms of ease of use as well as functionality when compared to standalone dosing systems because the DOS is part of your Apex ecosystem. Not only can you integrate it into other operations and devices you have configured, but Neptune Systems also will be continuing to expand on its capabilities as time goes on via software updates to Apex Fusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-Part Dosing Made Easy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe #1 reason people purchase a dosing system for their aquariums is for consistent and easy dosing of 2-part solutions (calcium and alkalinity) to their reef tanks. The most common method for doing this today is to use standalone dosing pumps and run them on a timer using seconds or minutes to determine how much to dose. This is not only confusing, but also prone to inaccuracy. Everyone knows that when measuring a fluid, it is done by volume, not time. Every dosing calculators out there uses volume. So with the DOS (and the Apex Fusion interface), you simply enter the amount you want of each part of the additives (one on each pump) and what hours of the day you want it delivered. The DOS then sets up all the dosing intervals within that time period. When that time interval is finished, the exact volume you set has been delivered. It even automatically chooses the slowest speed necessary for the pump so that it minimizes noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Changes - The never-ending chore of an aquarium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHate doing water changes? - everyone does - so they never get done as often as they should. Not only that, water changes are disruptive to the stability of your system since all of that change is happening at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the DOS all you do is place your empty vessel and your fresh stock of saltwater under your stand. Then, with the Apex Fusion wizard just tell it amount of water you want to change over what length of time and the hours of the day you want it to happen and it figures it all out for you. It will perform an automatic, continuous water change for you. It gets better. If you have the dual optical water sensing accessory, Apex Fusion will send you an email or text message letting you know it is time to change out the jugs.  Less time pumping, siphoning, and sloshing water and more time enjoying a great aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicro Dosing of Elements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you need to dose tiny amounts of a particular solution, element or other fluid (like vodka dosing or Zeovit systems), the DS is the perfect solution due to its precision controlled stepper motor. This ability to control pump movement in such a refined manner means that you can dose all the way down to 0.1ml at a time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it built?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen it comes to dosing, it all starts with the peristaltic pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, let's talk about the pump hardware. Be aware that not all dosing pumps are built alike. Well, let's clarify that. Almost all OTHER dosing pumps are alike - but most ALL OTHERS are very different from the DOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNearly all dosing systems on the market today use a standard, DC brush-driven motor. Why? Because it is economical. This is the same motor you might find in your child's toy car. Neptune Systems thought that was just not adequate for an aquarium where you might have thousands of dollars invested. So, Neptune Systems spent over a year searching and testing pumps and motors and decided on using pumps with industrial grade stepper motors in the DOS - the same type of motors used in high end robotics, 3D printing, and medical equipment. So, why does it matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStepper Motors Make all the Difference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the stepper motor pumps on the DOS, you have precise control each time you dose. And, you are guaranteed it will stay calibrated pretty much forever. On the other hand, with the standard DC motor pump found in most dosing systems, it cannot dose small quantities with ongoing accuracy and consistency. They also require ongoing calibration to account for the wear of the motor and the mechanisms. When pumps fall out of calibration, they dose either too much or too little - never a good thing considering an overdose to a tank will often be its demise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Pump Speeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the great features of the stepper motors on the DOS pumps is that they can be driven at various speeds depending on the purpose for which they are being used. For instance, dosing of vodka may require the slowest possible rotation while a water change use requires a much higher pump speed. The best part is that Apex Fusion wizards automatically select the proper speed based on the use and because of the stepper motor, accuracy is not compromised even at the higher speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGearing and Drive Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DOS uses a direct drive mechanism that will not slip, it will not strip, it will not grind to a halt. On the other hand, many other peristaltic dosing pumps used for aquariums have gears that can (and do) strip. Or, worse yet, some pumps work by using the friction of rubber rollers on the smooth metal motor shaft to make the pump spin. Foreign matter like salt creep, additives, etc. often get into the drive mechanisms of these pumps and make them fail or pump unknown amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLifespan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stepper-motor in the DOS has a MTBF (mean time before failure) of 5,000 hours. Other systems with brush-driven DC motor pumps have lifespans measured of just a few hundred hours of use. This means the pumps on the DOS may have up to as much as 12X the lifespan of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecure, Large Diameter Tubing Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeak proof fittings are very important, not just because of the possibility of leaking fluid, but also because the leaking of air into a line would cause the pump not to meter the correct amounts. The pumps on the DOS have sure-fit compression fittings that are virtually leak-proof. Contrast this to other dosing systems on the market that still use dual-barbed fittings that commonly split the tubing and cause leakage of fluids or air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLarger size tubing means that your pump does not have to work nearly as hard - or stay on for longer cycles. The most popular dosing pumps on the market use tube fittings with the tiny diameter of 1.67mm. The DOS uses much larger tubing and fittings. In fact, at 3.33mm in diameter, the pump on the DOS can handle 4X the flow of the most common pump style on the market (pictured). This means that your pump (and motor) will run 1\/4 the time to pump the same amount of fluid. Less run time means less wear on the pump mechanism, tubing and motor and extends your dosing pump's life. Larger diameter fittings also eliminate clogging - common issues when dosing various elements like Calcium, Alkalinity, or Kalkwasser on smaller tubing pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimplified Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThough nearly all interaction with the DOS will be done through the graphical user interface on Apex Fusion, there still is a need simplified user interface on the DOS itself. This is accomplished using a multicolor indicator for each pump to show its status as well as a button to be used for priming the pump or for use during a calibration process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith any peristaltic pump, there are parts that must be replaced due to wear and tear. Most people think this is just the peri-tubing itself. However, in addition to the tubing, wear and tear occurs on the roller mechanism as well. That is why Neptune Systems\n only recommend changing out the pump head mechanism entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChanging out the peristaltic pump head on the DOS is a snap. Literally! All you need to do to change out the pump tubing is squeeze the pump head, remove and replace with a new one. No screws, no impossible snap on covers, no fussy loose rollers to mess with and no impossible-to-find-tubing to track down. And, because you are changing out an entire pump head, you have the peace of mind knowing that all the pump parts that can wear out have been replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquaBus Connection to your Apex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DOS easily connects to your existing Apex System via an AquaBus cable. All configuration and control of your DOS is done through the Apex Fusion interface on your phone, tablet, or computer from home or anywhere in the world! And, because there are two AquaBus connections, you can daisy chain up to 10 DOS systems together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Port\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DOS has an accessory port that will enable it to be connected to upcoming optional accessories like the DDR - DOS Dual Reservoir. This accessory has two separate 2-liter cylinders for holding your additives. It also has optical sensors at the bottom that tell the Apex when it is time to refill and it then can send you an email or text alert. Another future accessory will be a set of two optical level sensors you can install in the water change vessel (jug\/Rubbermaid\/brute) of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNeptune Systems understand that aquariums are supposed to be serene. And noisy pumps often ruin that mood. So the Neptune Systems engineering team has taken extensive steps both in how the pump operates as well as the enclosure design to ensure that the DOS system is one of (if not) the quietest stepper motor-driven dosing systems on the market for the fluid volumes it delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylish yet Functional Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DOS was designed to complement your aquarium - not just be a box that holds pumps. Its attractive enclosure has the pumps rotated at an outward angle to allow for the tubing to be routed with no chance of kinking, even when placed on a shelf. The DOS are also designed for stacking and they can be daisy-chained together via the AquaBus ports. Even when stacked, all tubing can be easily routed kink-free. For those that prefer a wall mount, the DOS has easy to use slots in the back so you can attach it to a wall or to the inside of your aquarium cabinet. With the exterior design, component selection, and software functionality, the DOS communicates how much total effort Neptune Systems put into this product to raise the bar not only for dosing systems, but for premium aquarium products overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt doesn't get easier than this!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a nutshell using the DOS is as simple as telling the Apex Fusion DOS wizard how much fluid (in ml) you want to pump, and over what time you would like it to happen.

Some pumps shut off completely when they have a temperature issue, but the COR slows down so your tank will continue to circulate — giving you time to address the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the output level you desire for your aquarium and overflow capability and the COR will memorize that and make it your “100%” for your aquarium. If power should go off, when it restarts it will always return to that memorized setting. Also, during feed modes, your water will not completely back-siphon. This prevents the burping and bubbling that normally occurs when a pump powers back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith some simple configuration in Apex Fusion you can set a Feed Mode that will slow the pump to any level you choose. You can even have other tank operations sequence with this feed mode and the time interval of the Feed Mode can be customized as well. The buttons on the COR driver also function as an easy to use feed button.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequires:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plumbing fittings, hose, pipe, basic plumbing knowledge, and any Apex with an available 1LINK port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e COR Pump, COR-15 or COR-20 Pump Driver, PVC Union, Slip fitting, 1LINK Cable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"COR15","offer_id":48509299753203,"sku":"107961","price":314.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"COR20","offer_id":48509299785971,"sku":"107962","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/p-107961-COR_ReturnPump_UBL.jpg?v=1771033529"},{"product_id":"neptune-systems-optical-level-sensor-with-magnet-mount","title":"Neptune Systems Optical Level Sensor with Magnet Mount","description":"\u003ctable cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical aquarium water level sensor for Neptune Apex FMM Fluid Monitoring Module\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensor detects changes from being wet to dry or dry to wet and signals your Apex FMM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse with your aquarium ATO (auto-top-off), as a high water level sensor in your sump, and much more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperience reliability and peace of mind with the FMM-compatible Neptune Systems Optical Level Sensor with Magnet Mount. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many useful purposes for water-level sensors on an aquarium. They can help you build an auto-top-off, monitor the levels in your supplement containers, even help automate saltwater mixing containers. The solid-state, optically-controlled sensors are reliable and dependable. The sensors work by using LED emitters and receptor in clear enclosure such that when it becomes wet, the light bends and no longer completes the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neptune Systems Optical Level Sensor with Magnet Mount plugs into your Neptune FMM and, using reflected infrared light, will signal your Apex when it changes state from being wet to dry or dry to wet. This sensor can be used for constructing your own ATO (auto-top-off), as a high-level warning sensor in your sump, water storage level sensor, and much more. The sensors can be mounted into custom brackets or through a hole in a vessel. Included are a fastening nut and silicone washer. The sensors can be mounted on any type of reservoir that has up to 1\/4\" thick walls. These sensors are sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1x OS-1 Optical Sensor with nut and washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1x OS-M Optical Sensor Magnetic Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e FMM Module required for use.
