Skimz iBox LED-lit Nano Aquarium Announced

Skimz, a Singapore-based aquarium product manufacturer, has announced their new "iBox" (I know, I cringed at the name as well) ~8 gallon LED-lit nano reef (or nature!) aquarium. Not many details are available, but the iBox aquarium does have integrated filtration, 21 watts worth of LED lighting, and comes in red, black, and white.  Check back for the hands-on review!

Ecoxotic was nice enough to send over their PAR38 spotlight for review.  LED Lighting, especially for reef aquariums and nature aquariums is definitely a step in the right direction, so I'm excited to be able to review another LED aquarium lighting option!

Ecoxotic Panorama LED-Lit 25 Gallon Rimless Cube Nano Aquarium

Latest in the barrage of new goodies from LED aquarium lighting manufacturer Ecoxotic is their 25 gallon rimless cube nano aquarium!   I've become a big fan of Ecoxotic, and they continue to deliver. A seemingly awesome all-in-one nano reef tank, this super-svelte glass aquarium is sized perfectly for the 18" Panorama modular LED fixture!

- 25 gallon capacity
- Build in sump with protein skimmer, return pump, bio media, and auto-topoff bottles
- Matching black stand available
- Free shipping to the lower 48!
- Affordable (MSRP of $250 for the tank, and $250 for the stand)

New CoralVue Advanced LED Lighting Fixture

CoralVue is a recent addition to the LED reef aquarium lighting market, but a unique one.  While their Coral Boosters LED fixtures are fairly well known (an LED strip light featuring Cree LED lighting) their new Advanced LED System, Solarian LED system, and T5 + LED hybrid light fixtures have yet to start really hitting mainstream hobby news.   We're lucky enough to have gotten our hands on some CoralVue  aquarium lighting products (reviews to be posted soon!) but for now, here are some teaser pics of the Advanced LED System!

Measuring 12"x4.5"x2.5" and available in two colors (1:1 white:blue or 1:2 white:blue) with three mounting options and being easily upgradeable, it's nice to see another LED aquarium lighting option available on the market!
