NYOS and ATI Have Landed at Squeaky's Aquatics
Two German reef brands, nearly 70 products, all on our shelves now. Test kits and lab-grade ICP water tests, foods and plankton, dosing and single elements, pumps, media, salt, and the ultra-slim ATI Straton X reef light.
Big week on the reef side of the shop. Two well-known reef brands from Germany just landed at Squeaky's Aquatics, and we did not bring in samplers. We brought in the lines: 31 NYOS products and 37 from ATI, covering almost everything a saltwater tank needs.
NYOS covers the everyday side of a reef: REEFER test kits, liquid plankton, coral and organic fish foods, ION-B dosing, VIPER return pumps, Reef Cement and NYOS PURE salt. ATI brings the lab: mail-in ICP water tests that show exactly what is in your water, single ICP Elements to correct exactly what is off, the Essentials dosing line, Absolute Ocean, and the Straton X LED. You can go all in, or just grab the one thing your tank needs right now. Here is everything, by brand and by category.
NYOS
The everyday reef line: testing, feeding, dosing and building.
REEFER Test Kits
Lab-style accuracy at a hobby price, made in Germany.
If you only pick up one thing from the NYOS line, make it a test kit. The REEFER kits are built for the chemistry of saltwater, use a calibrated dropper so every drop is the same size, and the reagents are made in Germany under strict batch control. The titration kits change color sharply, so there is less squinting and second-guessing.
Alkalinity REEFER Test Kit
The one to test most often in a reef. A titration test for KH with a precise color change.
Nitrate REEFER Test Kit
Reads 1 to 160 ppm with a calibrated color chart and a sliding comparator.
Liquid Plankton
Real zooplankton, ready to pour. No thawing, no fridge.
These are whole zooplankton in a shelf-stable liquid, for marine fish and LPS corals. Shake, pump or pipette, and feed. They are handy for target feeding and for getting a new or picky fish eating, and there is nothing to thaw.
Coral Foods
Two ways to feed a mixed reef.
AMYNO
An all-in-one organic solution with almost 40 ingredients, including amino acids and vitamins, for every kind of coral. Dosing-pump friendly, no fridge needed.
LYQ-RED
A concentrated food with particles from 5 microns up to 2 mm, so small-polyp and large-polyp corals and anemones can all catch something. Rich in astaxanthin.
Organic Fish Foods
Certified organic soft granules for marine fish.
All three are certified organic under the EU organic regulation, with no artificial colors or flavors, in a soft, medium-size granule (0.9 to 1.5 mm).
TRUE ALGAE
Wakame, chlorella and spirulina for tangs, rabbitfish and other algae eaters.
Dosing: ION-B, Trace Elements and Nutrients
Keep calcium, alkalinity and magnesium steady.
ION-B is a two-part system: equal amounts of CA/MG+ and ALK/PH+ replace what your corals use, made in the same roughly 1:7 ratio corals use them in. The ION ELEMENTS trace mixes go into the ION-B jugs, not straight into the tank. And for very clean tanks, NITRATE+ and PHOSPHATE+ let you raise nutrients a little at a time when they bottom out.
ION ELEMENTS 2 CA/MG
Iron, zinc, manganese, vanadium and more, mixed into the CA/MG+ jug.
ION ELEMENTS 3 ALK/PH
Iodine, potassium, fluorine and selenium, mixed into the ALK/PH+ jug.
PHOSPHATE+
High-purity phosphate for the same job. Pair it with NITRATE+ and test twice a week.
Bacteria
For new tanks and for keeping an old one in balance.
BACTO PLUS
Seven bacterial strains in one bottle. Made to shorten the break-in on new tanks, especially ones built on dry rock.
BYOTIC
A concentrated probiotic powder to help restore the bacterial balance in an established reef.
Filter Media
Clear water, less algae fuel.
ACTIVE CARB
Steam-activated, pH-neutral carbon that pulls out yellowing, odors and cloudiness. Freshwater or saltwater.
VIPER Return Pumps
Ceramic parts, quiet feet, and a three-year NYOS guarantee.
VIPER 3.0
Adjustable by hand from 106 to 740 gph. Zirconium ceramic parts make it close to maintenance free.
Aquascaping
Glue a frag or build a whole arch.
REEF CEMENT
Mix with cold water and it sets in about 2 minutes, above or below water. Coralline algae grows right over it.
REEF PUTTY
Two-part epoxy with about 45 minutes of working time. Big 200 g pack in black or stone grey.
NYOS PURE Salt
Mixes clear in about five minutes.
NYOS PURE Salt Mix
Every batch is ICP-tested, with the full analysis a QR scan away. Mixes clear with no residue. 10 kg box $49.99, 20 kg box $89.90, 20 kg bucket $94.99. In-store pickup only.
Tools
For the fish that will not come out.
Floating Fish Trap
Sticks to the glass with a magnet. Feed through it, and when the fish is inside, pull the outer magnet: the trap flips and floats to the top with the fish in it. No rockwork pulled.
ATI
The lab side of the reef: ICP testing, exact corrections, dosing, and the Straton X.
Straton X LED Reef Light
Ultra-slim, silent, and made entirely in Germany.
The Straton X is a 150 W full-spectrum reef LED in an aluminum housing just 9 mm tall, so it almost disappears over the tank. There are no fans, so it is completely silent. Each of its 100 LEDs has its own reflector to cut glare, and spreading that many light sources over a wide area lights corals from several sides, with fewer hotspots and shadows. You run it from the ATI Reef Pilot app, which shows live PAR and live power use. Pick a mounting arm for a rimless tank or a hanging kit for the ceiling.
Straton X LED Reef Light
Full-spectrum reef LED, 150 W, fanless and app controlled. Ships insured with a signature required, or pick it up in the shop.
Straton X Mounting Arm
Mounts the light to the back glass of a rimless tank, with no visible hardware and built-in cable routing.
Straton X Hanging Kit
Stainless steel Y-cable to hang one Straton X from the ceiling, adjustable for height and tilt.
ICP Lab Water Tests
Find out exactly what is in your water.
This is what ATI is best known for. You fill the sample tubes at home, mail them to the ATI lab in Germany (return shipping is included), and you get back a full report on what is really in your water: salinity, the major elements, dozens of trace elements, and pollutants you could never test for with a hobby kit. It is the best way to stop guessing, and it pairs perfectly with the single ICP Elements below.
ICP Lab Analysis Standard
The easy, affordable place to start. A full ICP-OES test of salinity, major and trace elements, and pollutants. 3 and 6 test packs available.
ICP Lab Analysis Pro
Everything in the Standard, plus nitrate, fluorine and alkalinity, and a test of your RO water too.
ICP Lab Analysis Ultimate MS
ATI's most complete test. Adds ICP-MS for trace elements and pollutants down to the ultra-trace range.
Multi Standard Reference Solution
Seawater with certified values. Test it like tank water to check whether your test kits and refractometer read true.
Essentials Dosing
Built from tens of thousands of ICP tests.
ATI used the data from its own lab to build the Essentials line. The two-part systems keep alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and the other major elements steady, and there are separate versions for mixed reefs and for SPS-dominated tanks. Each two-part is sold as #1 and #2 bottles, and you dose both.
Essentials Mixed Reef 2-Part
For soft corals, LPS and mixed tanks, with a baseline of trace elements built in. $29.95 per bottle.
Essentials SPS 2-Part
For SPS-dominated tanks. A purely inorganic alkalinity source helps hold pH a little higher. $26.95 per bottle.
Essential Daily Traces #A and #B
Extra trace metals (#A) and halogens (#B) for heavily stocked or heavily filtered tanks. $31.95 each.
Essential Nitro
Nitrogen for ultra-low nutrient tanks, from a mix of sources corals take up easily.
Essential Phospho
Raises phosphate in small, predictable steps, so it never bottoms out in a very clean tank.
ICP Elements
Correct exactly what your ICP test says is off.
Single-element, high-purity solutions, developed and tested in the ATI lab. Instead of dosing a blend and hoping, you top up only the element your water is actually missing. This is the other half of ICP testing.
Saltwater, Carbon and GFO
Clean water in, clean water out.
Absolute Ocean
Seawater in a bottle. Pour the two parts into RO/DI water and it is ready the moment it stops swirling, no mixing time. The 2 x 2.7 L set makes 12 gallons. In-store pickup only.
Carbon Super Pure
Acid-washed reef carbon that ATI rates at up to three times the binding capacity of standard carbons.
Phos Stop GFO
Granular ferric oxide that pulls phosphate and silicate, the fuel behind a lot of nuisance algae.
