We had the opportunity to test the new ATI Straton thanks to Jonathan, who just bought three of them for his tank. We analyzed the PAR and created the distribution curves. Let's see how it went. The ATI Straton is a LED ceiling light that has been on the market...
Speaking of Live Rock isn't easy, but today we are going to focus on their treatment at the moment that they arrive in the shop, thanks to the help of a friend of mine, who's been in the sector for years (though he wanted to remain anonymous). The first steps are to...
The first LED bar ever tested in our DaniReef LAB is the Orphek OR2 Reef Day Plus, which has been talked about a lot lately. In some pictures, you'll also see the Blue Plus, which we're going to introduce in the next days. The two LED bars we tested are in a 120 cm...

We have never tested such a powerful skimmer before! We measured over 1,300 l/h of sucked air, which we had never seen before testing this ATB Medium Size, 25 cm in diameter. First of all we want to remind you that ATB is the acronym for Aquarium Technik Burian, an...
