This just in... Coral Vue is in the final stages of development on a new Lumen Bright fixture with that has dual LB mini pendants, 4 HO T5s and moonlights. The fixtures will come with separate power cords for the halides, T5s and LEDs. The fixture will house the T5 ballast but the MH ballast will be sold separately from the fixture so that users can use their ballast of choice. You can gain access to the fixture to change bulb positioning with in the LB reflector and any servicing that may be required to the fixtures components. Note the T5s are mounted at angles to direct the light within the aquarium due to the suggest hanging heights of Lumen Bright reflectors.

The fixtures are in the final stages of development but are not the final product.

Reef Specialty just sent us the skinny on the new Octopus Protein Skimmers. What stood out to us are the recirculating DNWB models which can be plumbed to receive water directly from an overflow. I personally had an old 24x6 air-stone skimmer back in 1991 that had this setup and I've always wanted one since. These are certainly worth a look... they will be hitting the stores any day now!

Octopus Recirculating Skimmers:
