2Hr Aquarist APT SKY GH Booster 2Hr Aquarist APT SKY is a specialised GH (General Hardness) booster designed to remineralise RO (Reverse Osmosis) and RODI (Reverse Osmosis Deionised) water without affecting nutrient balance. It replenishes essential minerals, including calcium and magnesium, while leaving NPK levels, KH (carbonate hardness), and pH unchanged. This unique formulation allows aquarists to create ideal water conditions for a wide variety of aquatic life. APT SKY enables shrimp and hardwater plant species to thrive alongside softwater aquatic plants by increasing general hardness without raising carbonate hardness. It is especially beneficial for planted aquariums using RO/RODI water, where precise control over water chemistry is essential.

AC/DC AIR PUMP - APQ Model: APQ-505 (sometimes listed as “APQ-505 / 510 L/H”) according to South African listing. Power supply: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz (AC). Also has DC 15 V mode.  Power consumption: 5 W. Airflow: 8.5 L/min (≈ 510 L/hour) for the AC/DC pump. Pressure: ~0.026 MPa.  Dual outlet (2 outlets) version appears in Israel listing: “2 יציאות אוויר” (2 air outlets) for APQ505.  In one listing, battery backup/USB rechargeable (5 V) mode is mentioned for the APQ505 version. 🎯 Use-Case / Suitability Given these specs, this pump is suitable for aquarium or pond aeration where you want dual-power (AC plus DC/battery backup) and reasonably good airflow (≈510 L/h).If you are in Pretoria/Gauteng (South Africa), this is a viable candidate especially during power outages or when you need backup DC operation. ⚠️ Things to Check & Consider Even though it states “AC/DC”, check that the DC side is truly supported in your region and what the DC input requires (voltage, battery etc). The Israeli listing suggests “5 V rechargeable battery mode” for the APQ505 version. Ensure airflow of 510 L/h is adequate for your specific aquarium / pond size + depth + number of outlets/air stones. If you have significant depth or long tubing, head loss will reduce effective airflow. Check whether tubing, airstones, check-valves are included — one listing indicated that “המוצר אינו כולל צינורות אוויר ואבני אוויר” (product does not include air tubing and air stones). Noise level: Lower wattage (5W) suggests modest power, but still check how loud it runs if it will be near living spaces. Physical positioning: If the pump is located below water level or far away, check for back-siphon protection (check valve) and that the DC mode is reliable during outages. Authenticity & sourcing: The brand might be something like SunSun (the Israeli listing mentions “סאן סאן SUNSUN”). Make sure you get a genuine unit with warranty/support. 📍 Where to Buy / Availability It’s listed on SA site: “AD/DC AIR PUMP – APQ-505 / 510 L/H” with above specs.  Also listed in Israel for “APQ505” dual-outlet version from SunSun.  You may check local aquarium & pond supply stores in Gauteng for pricing and stock.
