Aqua Design Amano introduces the Nature Aquarium Goods trimming scissors, whose blades adopt a double-layered structure and are made with high-hardness tungsten steel. This allows them to retain excellent sharpness for a long period of time unlike some of the lower-cost scissors available on the market. Since they are designed to be lightweight, even the maintenance of large-sized tanks, which requires a lot of work, can be done comfortably. You can feel the difference through their use, and their professional quality will give you a great sense of satisfaction.

Fishtanks have long been perfect for families looking to add personal touches to their pets’ living environment. That’s why this fantastic Spongebob Squarepants chair ornament – one of many in the Pets at Home range featuring items from the underwater cartoon hero’s show – may be perfect for a fishtank looked after by children as well as adults.
Made from durable polyresin, this ornament will aid in the transformation of a child’s aquarium into Spongebob’s very own Bikini Bottom city. Consider pairing it with Spongebob’s pineapple house ornament, Squidward’s home or even the Krusty Krab shack to recreate the show’s underwater landscape.

Zoo Med’s new Aqua Cool Aquarium Cooling Fan is must have for any aquarist. The Aqua Cool is better than overhead fans; it has a side-mounted assembly which minimizes water splashes on the motor and prevents accidental immersion. It is fully adjustable featuring a multi-directional discharge nozzle for precise air flow focus. The nozzle can be pointed upwards to dissipate the heat generated by the lamps or towards the water to increase the air/water contact. Visit www.zoomed.com for more information.
Mini Polario is an energy efficient, high flow, low voltage water pump with bi-directional outputs to simulate the natural wave and current actions of the ocean which aid in coral growth and feeding. Each unit is equipped with a magnet mount and a 360-degree mounting bracket to secure the pump. Pre-programmed in all settings to gradually increase flow: First 5 seconds – 50 percent, next 5 seconds – 75 percent, next 5 seconds – 100 percent, then a delay before the water will discharge from the opposite side of the pump with just one moving part. Manufactured of durable high impact plastic for durability and longevity, each impeller uses a hardened ceramic shaft that runs on ceramic bearing in a low voltage motor. The next generation in water circulation, this low voltage pump is like two pumps in one with a built in wave-maker.
