DD JUMPGUARD FLEXI CUT OUT SET
$8.00Add to cartNote:
Cutting into the standard square frame, especially on larger frames, will generally reduce the rigidity and we would recommend installing one of one or more cross braces, as required, to retain the structural integrity.

H2Ocean Skimmer Guardian
$105.00Add to cartIntroduction
H2Ocean Skimmer Guardian
The Skimmer Guardian uses a optical sensor with a magnetic mount. The magnetically coupled sensor makes it easy to install and adjust to the desired level on the collection cup. The sensor is mounted externally so no holes are required in the collection cup for installation.
If the level in the cup reaches the sensor, the Skimmer Guardian will shut down the skimmer pump immediately to prevent your cup overflowing. A built in auto time delay also prevents false alarm due to power outages. Once the skimmer cup is drained the Skimmer Guardian will restart the pump.
Features
ā¢ Automatically guards your protein skimmer from overfilling
ā¢ Easy installation with magnetic attachment of optical sensor.
ā¢ Fits 99% of skimmers without any modifications.
ā¢ Latching sensor ā automatically restarts when cup is emptied.
ā¢ Optical and audible alarm.
Specification
ā¢ Power input/output 100-240 VAC
ā¢ Max output power 2200w
ā¢ Max sensor mounting thickness 8mm
ā¢ 3m Sensor cable

D-D True Seawater Refractometer
$79.00Add to cartEasier to Read & ATC
Easier to Read
One of the other problems with most refractometers is that the scale displayed normally reads from 0-100ppt when we are really only interested in the region from 30-40ppt. Our new Seawater Refractometer has therefore been specifically designed to read from 0-40ppt which gives you 2.5 times the resolution of a normal 0-100 scale.
Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC)
There is a lot of misunderstanding concerning the way the ATC feature works and its effect on the refractometer at different ambient room temperatures.
Salinity is a measurement of a mass of salt in a mass of water and therefore does not vary with temperature however a refractometer does not measure salinity directly but measures the refractive index which is then displayed as salinity. The refractive index of a solution does vary with temperature therefore the reading that you measure with a refractometer is always temperature dependant.
An ATC refractometer has a bimetal strip inside the instrument that moves the reading scale as the temperature changes to compensate for the change in refractive index. What people do not generally understand is that it is the temperature of the instrument and not the water temperature that is important as the small sample of water used for testing will equilibrate within seconds to the temperature of the refractometer.
Once correctly calibrated at the set calibration temperature of 20oC the refractometer can then be used in environments where the ambient temperature and therefore instrument temperature would heat up or cool down within the range of the ATC which is between 10 and 30 centigrade.
Calibration
If you look at the scale above you will see that the refractometer states that it is calibrated at and displays the SG of seawater at 20C.
Most salt refractometers use this temperature and will be marked 20C or 20/20. Calibration should always be carried out with the instrument at 20C which is close to the average room temperature in most cases. Allow the refractometer to stand at this temperature for 30 minutes to equilibrate.
The D-D refractometer is designed with a copper body which is more expensive to manufacture but responds faster to ambient temperature changes than other materials.
Note that the refractive index is also dependant on the wavelength of light too and therefore a light source closest to daylight should also be used.
D-D refractometers are calibrated at 20C and so the calculated specific gravity at 35ppt displays a reading of 1.0266. This is the equivalent to a specific gravity reading of 1.0264 for a water sample temperature of 25C using a standard hydrometer that has a calibration temperature of 77F or 25C.
