There’s no doubt that this has been an unusual year for the aquarium hobby as well as the rest of the world. With so many of us stuck in our homes we’ve been able to give our tanks more attention than ever before but thankfully, we still had an abundance of new aquarium products to enjoy on our reef tanks.
There certainly was fewer new product releases in 2020 than in previous years however we kept quite busy testing and reviewing lots of new gear around the Reef Builders Studio. Aquarium product manufacturers delivered many different new releases that demonstrated an impressive level of innovation, a high degree of polish, and really raised the bar for what reef builders come to expect from the best companies in the reefing world.
在各种方式上，所有这些产品都提高了我们对性能，效率和价值的期望，这是有充分的理由，我们在我们维持的十几个海洋水族馆中使用了其中的每一个。莫雷索（Moreso）比前几年非常有信心，我们将在未来多年享受和庆祝2020年新产品的选择。
Avast Plank Auto Feeder——这个新的汽车馈线停住Marine uses an innovative feeding mechanism with an screw-type auger to slowly dispense foods of all kinds. This completely 3-D printed auto feeder offloads the timing and duration of the feeding schedule to controllable outlets giving users flexibility and maximum control, continuing Avast Marine’s history of creating highly innovative aquarium solutions.
nero水产品3- 很容易选择AI的第一个Nero 5水泵作为我们今年的首选之一，而且由于所有相同的原因，Nero 3都值得同样的识别。没有其他水泵以非常合理的价格以如此小的形式提供那么多的可控性和功率。薄的柔性电源电缆是一种低调的奖励，它使将泵放在所需的位置并将电缆从视线视而不见变得更加容易。它可能是“纳米”泵，但您可以轻松地在中型礁石上享受Nero 3
Versa VX1 Doser– Ecotech Marine worked on the engineering and development of their first peristaltic dosing pump literally for years, going so far as to design their own specially designed motor. As impressive as the hardware is, what makes the Versa such a versatile fluid pumping tool is the integration with the Mobius control platform. The Versa VX-1 can do it all, from miniscule drop-by-drop dosing to high volume water changes but our favorite feature is the pumps reliable continuous dosing mode which we considercrucial理想剂量的kalkwasser或喂养钙反应器。
珊瑚礁能量加– More so than electrical devices, we find it very hard to select additives as a top new product of the year. Most additives in the reef aquarium hobby and their formulas are very mature, leaving very little room for improvement. However Red Sea has historically had a very unique approach to feeding coral – it would be so easy for them to sell a powdered food in markets all over the world, but they’ve fully committed to the Reef Energy liquid food.
Ref Energy was previously available in separate A and a B formulas, both of which needed to be refrigerated, but with Reef Energy B Plus Red Sea has both combined and improved on their formula and made it ‘15% more effective’. When corals are bleached, sick, or otherwise not expanding their tentacles they can’t catch particulate foods, but Reef Energy Plus is a unique form of nutrition they can absorb directly from the water.
Maxspect Jump Skimmer- Maxspect跳跃脱毛机是该新产品综述的非常不寻常的一部分，因为它是去年Aeraqua Duo的“集中”版本。Maxspect跳跃脱毛机不仅是一个较小的型号，而且是原始预算版本的削减预算版本，该版本从总价上剃光了300美元。Maxspect通过前述高级功能（例如无线控制）来实现这一目标，但使用了较小的直流控制泵，以保持双叶轮，双针轮设计以产生可观的空气和水云。
Ultrareef Akula撇渣器– UltraReef has been making some version of the Akula protein skimmer for over a decade with incremental improvements every year. This year happens to be the first year that we got to try out and use UltraReef’s midrange protein skimmer and we couldn’t be any more impressed. Before you even turn it on, the craftsmanship absolutely screams quality when handling the parts and pieces of the Akula skimmer.
一张漂亮的脸庞足以引起我们的注意，但是一旦我们开始运行并奔跑，我们对Akula撇渣器产生了多少撇渣人给我们留下了深刻的印象。Ultrareef使用了SICCE PSK 900泵的稍微修改的版本，称为PSK 1000+，我们不知道所有这些都如何融合在一起，但是这个泡沫分级器的冲压远高于其重量级，也不会破坏库。
Aquavitro Division Skimmer–Seachem专门为盐水水族馆制造的第一台设备无疑使很多礁石感到惊讶。Seachem通过避免了大型空气和大型泵的现代趋势，使它们既可以节省太空，低能和安静，又使该部门独特。
但是，我们最感激的是分区的撇渣器，就像LED灯一样，纯表现的战争已经稳定下来，Seachem在接触时间等可靠的属性上倒下了。Aquavitro师的撇渣器可能不会带着装满水的撇渣器的杯子飞出大门，但是一旦它破裂，它肯定会用自己的一些最臭的黑暗污泥固定自己，您可能希望从礁石水族馆水中拉出。
CADE Reef S2– The CADE Reef S2 is one of the most exciting new products to hit American shores after being first enjoyed by our Australian reefing family. We’d seen this piece of kit around the block and at events but it wasn’t until we got one in our own hands that we truly understood what this all in one aquarium is really about. The Cade Reef S2 900 is the model that we selected to build a specifically Australian themed aquarium and we were incredibly impressed with everything it came with.
所有的硬管道都是预先涂抹的，并与快速隔开配件在一起，连续的虹吸管溢出完全使排水管完全沉默，并且宽敞的控制器板和电源中心可帮助用户快速地进行电缆管理工作。但是，该坦克的签名是它是第一个包括金属框架支架，侧面有自杀门，当然，玻璃本身具有最高的清晰度，并且构建质量是一流的。
Kessil AP9X–Kessil LED spotlights have an enthusiastic following and their fans weren’t disappointed by the company’s second aquarium light fixture. Kessil made their new light not only impossibly small but also incredibly bright. The small and lightweight form factor makes the fixture highly flexible in mounting so you can get the most from the light and of course their signature deep purple spectrum is one of the best at bringing out the fluorescent colors of our beloved corals.
Radion Gen 5 Blue and Pro– Almost every generation of Ecotech Marine’s flagship aquarium light have been recognized as a top product of the year but the fifth generation is one of the most deserving. The Radion Gen 5 now comes in a standard Pro and a Blue version so users can tune the spectrum according to their personal taste.
但没有问题最新的放射微粒灯the brightest and most versatile LED lights ever offered to the aquarium hobby. By almost doubling the LEDs Ecotech increased the light output to a ludicrous degree and the fixture has more colors and more control channels than ever before. The optics spread out all that light well beyond anything we’ve ever seen which means you need even fewer fixtures to cover a a reef tank and having two separate moonlight colors and control channels is an added bonus for stimulating sexual coral reproduction.
