Prodibio. I gave her time to stand up straight, but she never did and I took the shot. Then she stood up. French women; what can you do?

I'd like my Pridibio SuperSized, to go. These are designed for those large tank owners.

Rio was present with their varied products

Carbon or Phosban fluidized reactors

Calcium reactor, the smallest I've seen so far.

The new Polario, a pump that pushes water out one side, then alternates to push it out the other side. This would be nice to hide behind the rockwork perhaps.

Is that a paintball canister providing the carbon dioxide to the Rio Ca Reactor?

melev · 09/19/2007, 12:34 PM

Omega One, who sells more that just food apparently.

This fixture had legs to support the light over an 18" wide tank.

The LED fixture was blinding, and the reflectors made it look like there were a lot more bulbs. Only one per socket. (whites were off in the pictures)

This is Nano Customs, which I think the make custom lights for nano tanks.

They shared their booth or sold Sapphire Aquatics skimmers.

The tiny pico tank had a yellow tang in it. Kyle, 6 gallons won't cut it!

R2K is known for their enormous self-cleaning skimmers.

Those guys have been busy making stuff for our tanks now.

The new skimmer is made of pyrex, so you can drop it and it won't break. I don't recommend dropping a skimmer ever, but they bounced the collection cup off the floor for me. It is Ozone compatible.

The cup has a no-drip feature. Take the red rubber plug, push it onto the riser in the cup, and carry the cup to the sink without worrying about spillage.

Easy adjustment knob.

And I'm going to wrap up today's pictures with a bunch for Proline & their Profilux controller gear. They had a huge booth with lots to look at.

melev · 09/19/2007, 12:45 PM

Computer talking to their controller on the reef, wirelessly.

Various dosable additives. Zeovit I think.

Power strip with display and buttons for control.

melev · 09/19/2007, 12:50 PM

Looking inside their controller.

You can swap out the innards with exactly what you want to use.

This is how you dose.

Cool, right?!

Last year, we saw these LED fixtures that would cycle through colors and even make lightning effects. These were on display over this tank.

And finally, their reef display.

Sump, with zones for Fresh, Salt, Waste (using their dosing control method)

And a Bubble King skimmer of course.

melev · 09/19/2007, 12:55 PM

The lights are those Photon fixtures.

I helped put some of that rock in there Thursday night.

That's it for today. Hope you enjoyed it.

Sorry, this was typed before you finished posting photos, but not posted until after. Thanks for the work and effort. A great thread!

melev · 09/19/2007, 01:35 PM

I'll add more later. I gotta replace my smoking mouse and keyboard.

washingtond · 09/19/2007, 02:24 PM

Man you are a picture freak, GREAT JOBâ€¦. How long did it take with all the captions, must be impacting your stripping? I am really impressed you got it all.

melev · 09/19/2007, 02:30 PM

Yes, I may have to work overtime to make up for all this online time.

Sparkss · 09/19/2007, 02:40 PM

That little frag kit was kind of cute

Wish I could have been there to meet Mark from Marco Rocks in person. We have several of his boulders in our tank (set up with 100% Marco Rocks base rock).

That LED light looked pretty intense also. It will be interesting to see how LEDs do in the coming year or so (compared to MHs), although I don't yet see them overtaking MHs, I still feel that anything is possible with technological advances being what they are these days

Those Profilux controllers look pretty nice.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing

Due to brain damage I think I forgot all about that. Whatever happened to that video? I downloaded from your pod cast and it didn't come all the way through.

melev · 09/19/2007, 06:39 PM

I noticed that, and told Evan a few weeks ago. He was supposed to fix it.
