Aquariums and fish keeping sundries supplier OASE picked up two new product awards at the recent AQUA 2021 exhibition.
The Freshwater Equipment & Aquaria category award went to OASE’s CrystalSkim Aquarium Skimmer range. Designed to provide a clear water surface for tanks from 350L to 600L, it utilises a floating ring to indicate when maintenance is required whilst the integrated basket or “baby saver” offers peace of mind that fish are protected from becoming trapped in the system.

The judges said: “It’s a well-built, solid piece of equipment with an acceptable price point. It feels new and innovative. An outstanding winner of this category.”
In the Reptile category, the winner was OASE’s biOrb EARTH vivarium. These fully automated vivariums are designed to take the hobby of vivarium-keeping to the next level, providing the kit required to match the habitat to the needs of the reptiles or amphibians. All biOrb EARTH units are controlled via a mobile phone app, where users can create a fully self-controlled atmosphere with minimum effort, adjusting the light spectrum, humidity, temperature and ‘rain’ needed to allow the habitat to thrive.
The judges said: “This is an outstanding vivarium with everything you could possibly need. Every aspect of this product’s environment – temperature, humidity and lighting – is controllable via an app.”
OASE’s national sales manager, Andy Bond, said: “It’s great to pick up new product awards at an exhibition like AQUA. When we’ve won accolades in the past, they have definitely helped to promote the new launches, so hopefully these awards will give the CrystalSkim Aquarium Skimmer and biOrb EARTH an additional boost in the marketplace. We had lots of positive feedback on the look and appearance of our stand and our wide range of products, including the 230 lines joining our product portfolio in 2022. It has been a very good and busy show for us.”
