The new Automatic Feeding System from Neptune Systems should be a big hit for Apex fans. An already great feeder gets a lot better when connected to the Apex AquaController - allowing you to schedule pumps off around feeding time or even turn off the feeder if your ORP drops. With a sealed drum to keep out moisture and that helps keep the food from going stale, as well as an adjustable gate for different size foods, the AFS is a nice fishfood feeder. The AFS is coming next month with an MSRP of $99.95. Specs below.




The feeding gate slides to adjust for different foods or amounts per serving. Also note o-ring in lid to seal in food.


Adjustable mounting clip extends up to two inches so it will work in almost...

Have you ever wrestled with a Kessil gooseneck while trying to get it centered over your aquarium? The guys at Kessil have and came up with a solution - the bracket shown below. This simple extension will make centering that LED pendant a lot easier and as you will not have to try and make a tight turn with that neck. Saving you the aggravation is probably worth the $20 for this upgrade. Available next month.

The Chill Solutions CSXC-1 aquarium chiller is the first thermo-electric nano chiller on the market I've seen since the Coolworks IceProbe from 10 years ago. The CSXC-1 looks very similar but with one big difference, the troublesome probe has been replaced with barbed hose fittings to run the chiller inline with a small pump. Any small powerhead would do. That was a brilliant move as it makes mounting a breeze. The CSXC-1 will pull down a 20 gallon nano up to 8 degrees and a 30 gallon up to 4 degrees. The only moving part is the temp-controlled fan. The corrosion on the old Iceworks probe was its downfall, I suspect the Chill Solutions CSXC-1 will be around a lot longer. Available now for $219. Details below.
