SEAWATER REFRACTOMETER
H2OCEAN COMPACT AUTO TOP-UP
MAG-SCRAPER GLASS CLEANERS
Prevent rock-slides in your reef aquarium.
What is different about the D-D SEAWATER REFRACTOMETER?
Reaches the parts other scrapers do not touch.
Aquascape is a two-part epoxy putty that has been specially developed by D-D for use in
salt water and freshwater aquariums and other underwater applications.
Almost all hand held salt water refractometers available to the hobby today are designed
and calibrated for the testing of brine solutions, i.e. sodium chloride, and are not calibrated
for the refractive index of natural sea water.
This ultra-compact smart auto top-up unit is simple to mount, easy to use and has
twin optical sensors for added security.
In the marine aquarium it is ideal for bonding together live rock to form complicated
structures and avoiding rock falls caused by turbo snails, sea urchins or strong current flow,
for preparing coral frags and for creating clam bases to prevent them from being attacked
and ultimately killed by bristle worms. In addition, it can be used to repair leaky pipework,
broken equipment or for bonding items to the aquarium glass.
Aquascape has been developed to be stickier than most epoxies so that it bonds easier to
wet substrates and the purple version has been formulated to dry under water to the colour
of coralline algae. This makes it initially more natural within a marine aquarium during the
period before being encrusted with true coralline algae. Note however that when cured out
of the water the colour will be darker representing the deep red coralline algae colour.
For freshwater aquariums and for repairing liners and preformed ponds, the Rock Grey
version is perhaps more suitable, however both colours can be used in any environment.

Even though the largest percentage of salt in the sea is sodium chloride, the presence
of other significant ions such as magnesium and calcium in natural sea water results in a
different refractive index relative to that of brine. A standard salt (brine) refractometer will
therefore not give the correct salinity for natural sea water (NSW) and a conversion factor
must be applied.
For example, a 35ppt solution of NSW has the same refractive index as a 36.5ppt solution
of brine.
After extensive development, D-D’s ATC refractometer addresses this issue as the scale is
calibrated for seawater giving true salinity results for aquarium use when correctly calibrated
and greater accuracy than previously attainable.
Our refractometers also feature a heavy copper internal body which conducts heat
faster than cheaper aluminium and plastic versions for faster and more accurate auto
temperature compensation.

DDATO
H2OCEAN COMPACT AUTO TOP-UP
As most of you know, the Directors at D-D and many of the staff are keen reefkeepers.
Personally, as a hobbyist who has been cleaning the glass on my own tank for years, using
all brands of magnets, attachments and home-made scrapers I have to say that this is the
BEST cleaning magnet that I have EVER used.
The stainless blade seems to remove a full 65mm width strip of algae from the glass with
a single pass, whereas other blades that I have used in the past seem to miss patches and
start to deteriorate after a few uses.
The cost of the ‘Extra Large’ MagScrape version reflects the high levels of rare earth
magnet material used to achieve it’s strength, however it is comparable in price with other
magnets capable of use on such thick glass. Can be used for glass thicknesses between 10
and 19mm but will also work on 24mm glass too, if care is taken.
This is a must for use in aquatic shops too as it halves the cleaning time and gets into places
that a normal magnet will not reach.
Now available in a smaller version for glass up to 16mm.
