T5 Plant Pro lamp
British company Arcadia launched at Interzoo 2002 two ranges of T5 aquarium tube, the “Marine White” and the “Marine Blue Actinic”. The “Marine White” has since been further developed, and re-launched as the “Marine White 14,000K” lamp, which does not have the slight pink content that was present in the original. Both these lamp ranges have been developed with the marine aquarium in mind – the Arcadia range did not include a T5 lamp for use over freshwater use – until now: Arcadia have been working to produce a T5 lamp that has a higher intensity than the traditional fluorescent tube, which will result in a brightly lit aquarium, which enhances the natural colours of fish and plants, and which produces a better plant growth, whilst at the same time not having an intensity that is so great that the algae becomes an uncontrollable problem – the final result is the “Plant Pro” lamp. Shown at the first time for Interzoo 2004, the “Plant Pro”-lamp is available in three sizes, 24W, 39W and 54W, and can be used in conjunction with the electronic controller, the Overtank luminaire, or the new “I-Bar” – all from the Arcadia range of specialist lighting products.

New generation
Sera has introduced a new range of three high-performance membrane pumps, “Sera Air 110", “Sera Air 275 R" and “Sera Air 550 R". The three different capacities mean that the pumps can be used in aquariums of any size for operating air-driven filters, air stones, aquarium ornaments and other accessories. The two sizes “275 R" and "550 R" are also electronically adjustable to give a maximum air flow rate of approx. 110, 275 or 550 litres/hour. The "110“ pump has one outlet, the "275R“ has two and the “550 R" has four. With thick walls to absorb the noise, the pump casings are made of impact-resistant ABS plastic, and the elastic feet ensure quiet operation with little vibration. Coordinated accessories are available to complement the pump range: the "Sera Air Set S" is for use with the "Sera Air 110" and includes two metres of silicone tubing, an air stone and a control and nonreturn valve. The "Sera Air Set M“ has been designed for use with the "Sera Air 275 R" and comprises four metres of silicone tubing, two air stones, two nonreturn valves and a controller. And for the "Sera Air 550 R" the "Sera Air Set Pond L" is available, with ten metres of silicone tubing and a large air stone.

Electronic dog passport
The Swiss company Datamars develops electronic identification systems for pets and markets them in Switzerland through Provet in Lyssach. New EU rules scheduled for implementation on 1 October 2004 call for dogs moving between EU countries to be identifiable by microchip or by a tattoo. Statutory regulations have been in place for some years in Spain, France and Italy regarding microchip identification for pets, a process in which the vet implants a glass bead the size of a grain of rice under the dog’s skin. The number can be read at any time using a scanner, and the pet thus in effect carries its electronic passport under its skin. The pet and its owner can then be married up in seconds via a national database. Datamars has been distributing electronic identification systems for pets and horses worldwide for over ten years. The products conform to the ISO 11784/85 standard.
