ACCESSORIES SALTWATER FAQs

What accessories does a reef tank need?

Start with the tools you use every week: an algae scraper for the glass, long tweezers for moving frags and removing debris, and a siphon kit for water changes. Add a stable way to monitor salinity, such as a probe protected by the VCA Salinity Probe Kit, and the right mounting hardware for your lights.

Why use long tweezers in a reef tank?

Long tweezers let you place frags, remove debris and target-feed corals without putting your hands in the water, which protects both you and your livestock. VCA Never Rust Aquarium Tweezers come in UV Yellow and Sunset Orange, and the VCA XXL Never Rust Aquarium Tweezers add extra reach for deep tanks.

How do I mount my DALUA reef light?

Pick the mount that suits your tank. The Rail Mounting System (RMS) pairs a rail with side mounts in 23" to 72" lengths, Rails and the Rail Hanging Kit let you suspend lights over the tank, and the Vitamini Universal Holder + Rotatable Holder attaches Vitamini Strips at the angle you want. Euro-braced tanks can use the RMS Euro Brace Upgrade Kit.

What do Illumagic Wide and Narrow lenses do?

Lenses change how light spreads from the LED. The Narrow Lens focuses light into a tighter beam to push more intensity deeper into tall tanks, while the Ultra Wide Lens spreads light across a broader area for shallow or wide tanks. Both are $29.95.

Can I add a sunrise and sunset to Pixel or Vitamini lights?

Yes. The Pixel/Vitamini Scheduler (sunrise/sunset) adds gradual ramp-up and ramp-down to your daily lighting, which is gentler on corals and fish than lights snapping on and off. The Scheduler Holder keeps the scheduler neatly mounted out of the way.

When should I replace the LED clusters in my light?

Honestly you don’t have to. But you can look to replace them when output has dropped after long use, or when you want a different spectrum. LED Clusters For X4 and Pixels restore a fixture's original performance, and because they come in Reefer, Fragger and Aquascaper options, they also let you convert a light between reef and planted use.
