While humanity reacts only hesitantly and cannot or will not agree on any international, sustainable and concerted activities - nature, for its part, is now making attempts to react to the damage to marine life.

How a marine aquarium is created Part 38: When corals become entangled, the fight for settlement space

Our aquarium has now been in place for 14 months and the first corals are bumping into each other. Some get along quite well, but some don't get along at all. The fight for survival among the corals is breaking out, so to speak. This episode is about the coral species that get along quite well, but also about others where you have to intervene before one coral destroys the other. Of course, there is also a video.

NEW: Aquaillumination Hydra HD 32 and Hydra HD 64

How a marine aquarium is created Part 34: Who eats our snails?

I keep finding empty snail shells, often even 2 a day. By chance I saw the culprit, or rather the culprits. I didn't exactly expect that! But see for yourself in the video. Please forgive me, it was made with a very low light source. But I think you can see enough. Some will be surprised :-(

How a seawater aquarium is created Part 33: Avoiding osmosis water flooding with Auto Aqua Smart ASOV

Now it has happened to us. Despite all my caution, I wasn't paying attention. One of our green storage containers simply overflowed! We were really lucky that not much happened and that it was only a few litres of water. Because it's all too easy to get damaged, no matter whether it's the aquarium (wooden cabinet that gets wet) or even other furniture that's nearby. So the following product comes just in time to prevent just such things. We report on the Auto Aqua Smart ASOV system, which prevents such things electronically.

Magazine: Onchidium -Snails as border crossers

... and this in several senses. At first I thought the animals were marine nudibranchs and listed them as such in my photo file under the hind gills. However, for a long time I did not succeed in determining the species or even the genus. But I was also always looking in the wrong place. Only a tip from a leading expert on marine nudibranchs made me look for other groups of snails and finally I found it - Onchidium verruculatum. The species is widespread in the Indo-Pacific.

Photographing under blue light - 4 clip filters in comparison

I can still remember how we were with Theo in Belgium at the end of 2017 and were able to take pictures under blue light for the first time with a film. That was a huge difference. At Interzoo in May 2018, the first clip filter came onto the market. This came from D-D Solution. In December 2018, the ARKA MY Reef Studio came out, which is quite similar, but was offered at a slightly lower price.
