Aperture Expands Exclusive North American Distribution Portfolio with Nyos

Aperture Pet & Life is proud to announce that it will be the exclusive US and Canadian distribution partner for Nyos Aquatics GmbH. Nyos is a leading German manufacturer of Aquarium equipment, consumables and accessories. 

After humble beginnings as a small livestock dealer in Stuttgart, Germany, brothers Matthias and Christian discovered that they needed reliable access to affordable, premium quality equipment and additives to better support their growing Whitecorals livestock business. 

With that, Nyos was born. From its beginning, Nyos has been committed to developing marine aquarium products that provide the highest levels of purity and performance. 

“We use all of our salt, additives, foods and filtration equipment in our commercial livestock facility,”  said Nyos owner, Christian Kaupan. “To say that we trust our products would be wrong—we rely on them day in and day out for the success of our fish and coral business. If you visit Stuttgart, please stop by and see for yourself our team’s commitment to husbandry at our Whitecorals facility”

A growing product line focused on quality, usability and performance is a hallmark of Nyos products worldwide. Uniquely, Nyos products include:

• Nyos Quantum® Skimmers - Perhaps the most well known Nyos products, the Quantum® line-up is arguably the most attractive skimmer collection on the market. However, they don’t just look good, they perform. The Quantum® 120, 160, 220 and 300 are fully adjustable work horses. Extremely reliable and easy to clean, the Quantum® lineup is a favorite of discerning hobbyists. 
• Nyos Test Kits – Nyos offers a complete line of test kits offering a highly precise analysis of water conditions. Kits include Calcium, dKH, Magnesium, Phosphate, Nitrate.
• Nyos TORQ® Reactor - Nyos® developed the innovative TORQ® system reactor as a simple and elegant solution to the problem of aquarium filtration. The TORQ® produces an even water flow throughout the chamber, giving ideal conditions for any choice of filter media.
• Nyos Liquid Foods - Nyos uses a proprietary preservation technique with their liquid foods, which allows for liquid plankton concentrates that do not require refrigeration. Plankton foods include Artemia, Mysis and Arctic Copepods. 
• Nyos Floating Fish Trap® - With conventional fish traps, catching fish is complicated since a mechanism for catching the fish usually has to be activated via a line. With the Nyos FLOATING FISH TRAP®, only the magnetic connection is released as soon as a fish is in the trap. An air body at the opening of the trap ensures a quick 90 degree turn and buoyancy of the trap and the fish.

Additionally, Aperture will be the exclusive distributor for two products never before sold in North America:

• Nyos OPUS® G2 - With the OPUS® G2 series, Nyos created ready-to-use reef aquariums that will satisfy the highest demands in terms of quality, functionality and aesthetics. 
• Nyos PURE® Salt mix - Nyos PURE® is an ICP-approved salt mix that contains the purest pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. Every bucket contains a QR Code with ICP test results from an independent laboratory.  

“Expanding our relationship with Nyos Aquatics represents a great opportunity to increase the availability of exceptionally innovative and desirable aquatics products in North America,” said Jeff Martinson, Chief Operations Officer of Aperture. “Nyos products represent a unique blend of elegant quality and value, and we look forward to a bright future together.“
