History
When Dr. Roni Kopelman discovered a floating tiger barb in his home aquarium and realized, too late, that the water chemistry was out of balance, he set about inventing a better way of testing. His vision was a continuous window into aquariums, pools and spas; a window where users would see in real time if key parameters, such as pH and Ammonia, need adjusting before reaching dangerous levels.
Roni joined forces with Stuart Jamieson to make this vision a reality and AquaStasis was born in 2004.
During the first couple of years the company focused its efforts on bringing continuous testing to the consumer aquarium market. Their first product, LivepH was released locally in early 2005, under the LiveMeter brand. LiveNH3 quickly followed, and a successful partnership with Virbac Corporation ensured the rapid adoption of LiveMeter products within the Pet industry. Virbac, through its Mardel brand, owns and exclusively markets the LiveMeter products within the Pet industry.
Following this successful launch of LiveMeter products within the Pet industry, AquaStasis is continuing to innovate and apply its founding vision to other markets.
