RO (Reverse Osmosis) water has been used for a long time in Marine Fishkeeping, but in recent times has also become increasingly popular among fresh water tropical fish enthusiasts. This article addresses some of the basic questions about the use of reverse osmosis water. It is not an in depth study, but intended only as a guide to the simpler aspects so further study and research will be needed for specific applications.

Nitrate levels in aquariums need to be controlled as at high levels they compromise the health and well-being of the fish. This can eventually lead to bacterial and fungal infections, Whitespot, Fin-rot and other diseases that take advantage of compromised immunity. High nitrate levels are often the cause of excessive algae growth too.

Cyanobacteria, often referred to as blue-green algae, are actually a type of bacteria rather than algae. While they were historically classified as algae due to their photosynthetic capabilities and their resemblance to algae in appearance, advances in molecular biology have led to their classification as bacteria.

Drop Checker is an original glassware or acrylic product, designed to indicate the CO2 amount diluted within the aquarium water with color change of the pH reagent inside, in order to understand the proper amount of CO2 supply.  

Legend Scissors are precision engineered to the highest standard providing you with superior cutting performance, however, in order to maintain these standards they must be cared for and cleaned correctly.

Scissors Care is our recommended care instructions to help you get the most out of your beloved Legend Scissors and to ensure they perform optimally for as long as possible.

Congratulations!
