    Aperture Pet & Life Expands Aquaillumination Product Lineup


    Aperture Pet & Life, the integrated company for some of the largest brands in the aquatics industry, including Bulk Reef Supply, Neptune Systems, Ecotech and Aquaillumination (AI), is proud to announce two new pumps in its product lineup. The Orbit Cross-Flow circulation pumps and the Axis centrifugal return pumps add to the expanding flexibility and comprehensiveness of the AI product offering.

    Orbit was designed in partnership with Maxspect, leveraging its best-in-class and patented gyre technology and coupling it with AI’s world-renowned intelligent software. It’s a cross-flow circulation pump that is a marine aquarist favorite for creating “gyre” type flow that circles or orbits the aquarium. The Orbit pump comes in two sizes: the Orbit 2, ideal for aquariums 20-88 gallons, and the Orbit 4, ideal for aquariums 20-120 gallons. 

    Axis, which comes in three sizes — the 20, 40 and 90, is a centrifugal pump designed to create superior flow in large aquariums and all the way down to small Nano aquariums as well. Axis has the ideal flow for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums. 

    Key Features and Benefits of the Orbit and Axis Pumps: 

    1. Fully Adjustable DC Pumps: Utilizes DC motors coupled with AI driver technology to provide fully controllable, quiet and efficient operation. 
    2. Wireless Communication: Controllable with a smartphone or tablet and the free myAI or Mobius control apps. Also compatible with the Neptune Apex MXM. 
    3. Real-Time Programming and Control: 24-hour adjustable programmability, calibration and feed modes included. No additional equipment required. 
    4. Connected to Your Ecosystem: Control AI and EcoTech Marine devices through Mobius or myAI iOS or Android apps and the Neptune Systems MXM with the Apex Fusion app.

    “Orbit and Axis underline our goal of increasing the availability of intelligent technology for aquariums of all shapes and sizes,” said Allan Bazinet, Chief Technology Officer of Aperture. “They are both exceptional additions to the AI brand, designed to help aquarists continue to be successful in their aquatic journey.”

    For more information or to purchase Orbit and Axis pumps worldwide, aquarists can visit their favorite local fish or pet store or online retailer. Retailers can reach out to their Aperture sales representative or visit the Aperture wholesale portal

  • Aperture Launches the Most Versatile Aquarium Light in Company’s History

    Aperture Launches the Most Versatile Aquarium Light in Company’s History

    New Aquaillumination Blade in multiple sizes and mounting options for saltwater and freshwater aquariums

    Press Release


    Jan 4, 2023

    Aperture Pet & Life, the integrated company for some of the largest brands in the aquatics industry, including Bulk Reef Supply, Neptune Systems, EcoTech Marine and AquaIllumination, is pleased to announce the newest light addition to their highly innovative line up of some of the most trusted products by aquarists around the world.

    The new light series, Aquaillumination Blade, is the most versatile light ever launched under the EcoTech house of brands. Designed as a strip light. Blade can be paired with other lights and mounted in infinite configurations to best meet aquariums of all sizes and needs.

    Blade is available in four different spectrums:

    • Refugium: horticultural-based spectrum designed for growing green plants
    • Grow: marine spectrum mix that is designed around maximizing output in the photosynthetic peaks used by Coral to grow and produce nutrients
    • Glow: marine spectrum mix that is designed to maximize fluorescence in coral
    • Freshwater: spectrum designed to maximize output for freshwater aquariums and/or house plants

    “We couldn’t be more pleased with our new Blade light lineup. We firmly believe that this is by far the most versatile aquarium lighting solution we have ever made, if not the most flexible lighting platform available to hobbyists, period,” said Patrick Clasen, President of EcoTech. “Using Blades alone, in multiples, as a Grow and Glow mix, as a supplement to Hydra or Radion pendant lights or over their freshwater tanks, opens up a world of possibility.”

    Blade lights have on-light control and full control and programmable scheduling capabilities through the AquaIllumination MyAI or the Mobius app, both available in the Apple App store or from Google Play.

    The Blade light is available in 7 sizes for Grow, Glow and Freshwater: 12.1in(30.74cm), 21.1in(53.59cm), 30.1in(76.45cm), 39.1in(99.31cm), 48.1in(122.17cm), 57.1in(145.03cm), 66.1in(167.89cm). The Refugium is available in 12.1in(30.74cm).

  • Drying California lake to get $250M in drought funding

    Drying California lake to get $250M in drought funding

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The federal government said Monday it will spend $250 million over four years on environmental cleanup and restoration work around a drying Southern California lake that’s fed by the depleted Colorado River.

    The future of the Salton Sea, and who is financially responsible for it, has been a key issue in discussions over how to stave off a crisis in the Colorado River. The lake was formed in 1905 when the river overflowed, creating a resort destination that slowly morphed into an environmental disaster as water levels receded, exposing residents to harmful dust and reducing wildlife habitat.

    The lake is largely fed by runoff from farms in California’s Imperial Valley, who use Colorado River water to grow many of the nation’s winter vegetables as well as feed crops like alfalfa. As the farmers reduce their water use, less flows into the lake. California said it would only reduce its reliance on the over-tapped river if the federal government put up money to mitigate the effects of less water flowing into the sea.

    “It’s kind of a linchpin for the action we need to see on the Colorado River,” said Wade Crowfoot, California’s natural resources secretary. “Finally we are all in agreement that we can’t leave the Salton Sea on the cutting room floor, we can’t take these conservation actions — these extraordinary measures — at the expense of these residents.”

    The deal announced Monday needs approval from the Imperial Irrigation District, the largest user of Colorado River water. The water entity’s board will take it up on Tuesday.

    Both the district’s general manager and board member JB Hamby applauded the deal Monday.

    “The collaboration happening at the Salton Sea between water agencies and state, federal, and tribal governments is a blueprint for effective cooperation that the Colorado River Basin sorely needs,” Hamby said in a statement.

    The $250 million will come out of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, which set aside $4 billion to stave off the worst effects of drought across the U.S. West.

    Most of the money is contingent on the Imperial Irrigation District and Coachella Valley Water District making good on their commitments to reduce their own use of river water. Both submitted proposals to cut back their usage for payment as part of a new federal program.

    The quarter-billion dollars will largely go to bolster and speed up existing state projects designed to lower the negative environmental impact of the drying lake bed. The state has committed nearly $583 million to projects at the sea, including dust suppression and habitat restoration. One project underway aims to create wetlands and ponds that will limit dust from blowing into the air while creating safe spaces for fish and birds, according to the state.

    The deal comes as the U.S. Interior Department and the seven states that rely on the river — California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming — scramble to stave off the worst impacts of the ongoing drought and historic overuse of the river. Lakes Powell and Mead, the key reservoirs that store river water and provide hydropower across the West, are only about a quarter full.

    After months of failed negotiations over a deal to drastically cut water use, the federal government in October said it would pay farmers and cities to cut back through activities like leaving fields unplanted or lining canals to prevent water from seeping into the ground. Proposals were due earlier this month. Meanwhile, the Interior Department has taken steps to unilaterally revise guidelines that govern when water shortages are declared, a move that could force states to further cut back.

    The Salton Sea, meanwhile, became its own political flashpoint in October when Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, then up for reelection, urged the federal government to withhold any environmental cleanup money unless California agreed to give up more water. That prompted criticism he was using communities who already suffer from poor air quality as a bargaining chip.

    Aperture Pet & Life Commemorates the 25th Anniversary of Neptune Systems

    Releasing the Next Generation of the World’s Most Trusted Controllers for Aquariums: The Apex A3 Family of Products

    Press Release


    Aug 2, 2022

    Aperture Pet & Life is proudly celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of its most well-respected brands: Neptune Systems. In celebration of this milestone and Neptune’s tremendous legacy as the #1 most trusted and used controller in the world, the next generation of Neptune’s signature Apex controllers will be released including the 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Apex Pro and a new entry-level Apex that provides the most critical monitoring features to meet an aquarist’s needs at all levels. 

    In 1996, Neptune’s founder and President Curt Pansegrau decided to create monitoring and automation for his personal aquarium to ensure his corals and fish were best cared for while he was working as a full-time engineer in Silicon Valley’s technology industry. After setting aside space in his garage to create his very first monitoring system, he quickly found that friends and colleagues who were also aquarists had the same need for peace of mind while they were away from their aquariums. This quickly blossomed into the start of Neptune Systems and creating solutions for not only people he knew personally but also for aquarists, aquariums, research labs and businesses around the world. Twenty-five years later, Neptune has helped tens of thousands of aquariums thrive with billions of measurements a year.

    “I could never have imagined the incredible journey I was beginning,” said Curt Pansegrau, founder and President of Neptune Systems. “Fast-forward to the present day, I am humbled and inspired by all the community support and great experiences that have made our best-in-class products what they are today.”

    The newest generation of the Apex system, the A3 Apex Series, includes four new models of controllers: 

    • 25th Anniversary Limited Edition A3 Apex Pro
    • A3 Apex Pro
    • A3 Apex 
    • A3 Apex Junior

    All models feature on-board FMM input ports to directly accommodate digital monitoring devices and provide aquarists with customizable options that range from monitoring only to the most sophisticated combinations of monitoring, control and automation. This includes a new variable liquid-level sensor exclusive to Neptune Systems and a new optical leak detector. 

    The entire A3 Apex series will operate off of the innovative and easy-to-use cloud service Apex Fusion, like all other Neptune Products. 

    The Apex 25th Anniversary Limited Edition is badged with a 25th Anniversary emblem, a hand-signed letter from Neptune founder and President Curt Pansegrau, and an invitation to receive a free 25th Anniversary Neptune hat and T-shirt. 

    The Apex Junior was created to provide the most critical level of monitoring needed for any aquarist at an entry-level price point, bringing peace of mind in aquarium care to even more aquarists around the world. 

    “We are very excited to bring the A3 Apex Series to the community,” said Pansegrau. “The new generation promises to deliver on greatly expanded possibilities for precision monitoring as well as better protection for the aquatic systems we maintain and love.”

    For more information on the new A3 Apex Series, please visit www.neptunesystems.com. These new products will be available for purchase at independent pet and fish stores in more than 50 countries and online specialty retailers.
