Technical accessories for the aquarium
Italian company Hydor is showing its technical products, including the “Theo” range of aquarium heaters, to which three new sizes have now been added: 25 W, 150 W and 400 W. The glass tube of these heaters is shatterproof and the PTC heating element can be pulled out of the water at no risk even if still plugged in. The “Theo” range is now available in seven different models. And in the “Ario” range the company unveils a new concept in aquarium air pumps: their distinctive assembly, design and innovative technical solutions make the “Ario” range unique for its quietness and incomparable with traditional external air pumps. “Ario” is so small that when positioned inside the aquarium, in the gravel, it is virtually invisible. A four model range is available: “Ario 1” (10-50l), “Ario 2” (50-100l), “Ario 3” (100-150l) and “Ario 4” (150-300l).

Attractive plants
Following the trend for organic shapes, German company Juwel Ladenbau has developed a type of plant unit in a wave form. The compact and aesthetic unit permits promotional positioning next to the tropical fish presentation. Even with dimensions of 2.4 x 0.7 m the tanks will hold 360 plants. The tanks are equipped with a stainless steel grid for easy placing of the plants and for cleaning, and this also prevents the plant pots from floating in the tanks. The cabinet, also in a wave form, has two service doors at the smaller sides for quick service access. An…
