The Mediterranean tortoises and the Hosrfield's or Russian Tortoise are the most popular pet tortoises in the United Kingdom. They have specific requirements that are different to other species of tortoises such as the Red Footed Tortoise or the African Spurred Tortoise

Komodo Tortoise Diet has been holistically formulated to provide a complete food for these popular European species

The diet is high in fibre and low in protein. It is formulated to have a calcium to phosphorous ratio of 3.5 to 1. Komodo Tortoise Diet has been extensively trialed and tested to find the variety of tastes that these tortoises love.

It is available as a blend or in the 3 distinct flavours.

All Komodo Tortoise foods are sourced locally and produced in the United Kingdom to reduce product miles and environmental impact

Always moisten the food prior to feeding

Experiment with the levels of saturation to suit your tortoises

Supply fresh, small portions in the morning and evening

Tortoises enjoy grazing, so several small dishes can be positioned throughout the habitat to increase cage enrichment

Remove uneaten food and provide clean fresh drinking water daily.

Fresh foods such as dandelion leaves and fruits could be provided as part of the diet

Tortoises can sometimes be reluctant to try a new food especially when it's good for them! Initially serve Komodo diet with the familiar food

The new Xwave is a high quality, low voltage, high performance wavemaker for the marine or reef aquarium producing high water flow with a low energy cost

The Xwave pump is the ideal tool for moving high volumes of water at a low running cost within your marine aquarium. Like all stream type pumps the Xwave produces a wide, high volume area of laminar, low pressure waterflow which is gentle on coral tissue compared with the narrow directed jet which is obtained using a high pressure pump nozzle.

All Xwave pumps are controllable and come with a remote power supply which offers 5 selectable speeds as standard.

When used with the multi-controller (available separately) the options are even greater with a choice of funtions to tailor the pump output to your specific requirements.

Flow rate: 3,000 to 13,000 l/h
Energy consumption: maximum 25 W
Input Voltage / frequency: 220-240V/50Hz (EU/UK)
Output Voltage: 12/24V DC

The new Xwave is a high quality, performance wavemaker for the marine or reef aquarium producing high water flow with a low energy cost. This Multi-Controller expands the options for use of the pumps into a whole new world of water movement.

All Xwave pumps are controllable and come with a remote power supply which offers 5 selectable speeds as standard. When used with this multi-controller the options are even greater with a choice of functions to tailor the pump output to your specific requirements.

Produces 30 second cycles of flow at 50% power and then 50% power creating wave surges within the aquarium.

Controls two separate pumps on alternating cycles between 50% and 100% power over a 150 second repeating cycle

Controls the two separate pumps on a second different cycle

This program is set up to use a random output of the pump. An irregular combination can produce turbulent currents. The occurrence of turbulence for a few hours per week is beneficial for the reef aquarium as it simulates the de-sedimentation of the stony structures in the reef zones.

A combination process. This program is set to run from Mode A to Mode D and each mode executes for 30 minutes.

This program is set to stop the pump during feeding. After 8 minutes the system is restored to the previous program. During the feeding mode all the function keys are deactivated. The feeding mode minimises the loss of fish and coral food directly into the filter system

This program works with the built-in timer. It can run together with all other programs except for Food Time Mode. When the Night Mode is applied and the time is at the preset night time, (see setting of night time), Night Mode will be executed. The pump will operate at 30% output and the Super-Lux LED will switch on until the night period is over. During the Night Mode all the function keys are deactivated.

With the difference between the day and night environments the organisms inside the aquarium can regain their natural biological clock which enhances reproduction and growth.

Xwave Multicontroller complete with integral lead attached to the super-lux LED

Rubber Suction Cup to hold Multicontroller to tank wall

(Please Note : The multi-plug lead for connecting the Multicontroller to the pump power supply is supplied with the Xwave Pump, not with this unit)

The system comprises :

An Aquarium Computer with digital read-out which has connections for a pH probe (Dupla or JBL etc)(not supplied with this unit) , a temperature sensor (supplied) and a LAN connection and lead for connecting to the 6-way socket block

A 6-way socket block with UK 3 pin sockets and mains cable
