Introducing the Aqua Mini!
We present to you the Aqua Mini. A superior product designed from the inside out. Made to the highest standards for the best customer experience.

An Innovation Revolution
Aqua Mini features a 1.9 inch thin uni-body enclosure, carved from a single solid block of aluminium. Created by computer controlled CNC for numerical engineering precision. Inside and out we make use of environmentally friendly materials to minimize the environmental footprint. You have never seen an aquarium light like quite like this one, built to make any aquarium owner proud.

Touch Control
The Aqua Mini features 2 smart touch buttons. One for white, one for blue they are used to control on/off operation of each color channel.

Small and Powerful
We built the power supply right inside the Aqua Mini, there is no bulky brick and fewer cables to connect. A removable panel at the bottom makes cleaning inside completely painless. Once you're inside you will see how clean and organized the Aqua Mini is. It also features a ultra silent cooling fan that you will barely hear when running.

Is that an sd card slot above the power connector. And a cd slot on the side?

Looks like a Mac mini

martinmcnally 01-19-2013 04:03 AM

Haha yes I think that is where they got their inspiration for sure.

The CD looking slot is cooling vent and the SD looking slot is where the arm hooks in.

that looks pretty sick, perfect for a nano system!

Also I like that you're rocking the 90s with those headphones beside the box :D only thing that throws it off is that it's connected to an iPhone haha, you should be hooking it up with a casset player.

Martin, will you be getting the Pro model in when it arrives to the market?
Do you know anything about the Pro model like what size tank it is suitable for?

wow a mac mini supported by an imac arm lol. usually the design rips aren't done as well as this... looks really nice.

Jordon 02-06-2013 07:34 PM

Can you post more pics? :D

Is the top black shiny or matte? Aluminium or plastic/acrylic?

I am wondering how this light compares to the eco pico led light? I have added 2 extra strips to my eco pico light (for 9 led lights/3 strips in total, white/blue mix) but I find that that colour of the corals (my zoas) is on the dull side and the sps is browning out. Just wondering if the mini led would be a better light for my 2.5g. Would it show the colour of the coral/colour up the coral better or are the led's on both lights similar that I wouldn't notice a difference? I'm debating on eventually adding 2 more eco pico led strips or just buying a better led light. Wondering which would be a better way to go. Thanks Laurie

I would say you will get much more light from the Aqua Mini. It uses Cree 3w LEDs compared to the 1 in the EcoPico. It also has a good color ratio for Royal Blue to White.
