The 2nd Marine Aquarium Conference of Europe

The 1st MACE (Marine Aquarium Conference of Europe) show in 2018 was a great success, congratulations to our neighbours :-) Of course we are also promoting edition number 2, which will take place this year on 02 and 03 November 2019 at Autotron. We will also be there and are looking forward to great offshoots and good conversations. You can find more information about the fair in the article.

How a marine aquarium is created Part 35: We change our substrate - Tonga Pearls

After one year of operation of our Aqua Medic Armatus 400, our nitrate value seemed to increase and was almost 30 mg/l when analysed. Replacing the dirty substrate is one of the measures, along with reducing the additions of MinS and Organic (food and trace elements) We will report further.

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 :-(

Fish & Reptile from 6 to 8 December 2019

With its large, nationwide unique range of aquaristics, terraristics and co., Fisch & Reptil at Messe Sindelfingen has long been considered Germany's cold-blooded sales fair par excellence. Sindelfingen also likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to the supporting programme: this year, invertebrates and species protection are the top themes, and new accents are also set in the presentation of the latest aquarium design ...

Gerald Bassleer: Fish Diseases in the Marine Aquarium

Some people have waited a long time for it. Now it is finally here. The new book by Gerald Bassleer.

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.

Product presentation: This is the REEFLIGHT LED 2019

In July 2019, the new Reeflight LED models will be on the market, in the lengths 60cm, 90cm, 120cm and 150 cm. We were at the wholesaler Aquaperfekt and made a video about it. Because there have been some changes.

Press release: TECO converts aquarium cooler to climate-friendly gas

The manufacturer TECO has been involved in the research and development process for many years to offer exceptional and innovative products. TECO can offer high-performance products with low consumption, but also meets the strict requirements of new gas regulations and CE safety requirements of the EU compared to other competing devices available on the market. In the wake of these regulations, the popular TK 500, TK 1000 and TK 2000 aquarium coolers have been converted to the environmentally friendly R290 gas.

Coral bleaching, are all our coral reefs inevitably dying?

The super corals and very special zooxanthellae could become the saviours of the reefs!

Product test: The Magnetic System Filter

The adsorbers have to be changed or the filter cleaned? You squeeze yourself into the technical tank and often have to heave out the entire filter with pump, each time being careful not to bump into anything so as not to damage the filter or tear off the pump, excess water dripping onto the floor, then painstakingly undoing screw connections, making sure that no dirt gets into the thread, and and and.....for many aquarists this has been a horror for years, considering that these activities often have to be repeated in a short time. - We have tested the Magnetic Filter! So everything in the video :-)

How a marine aquarium is created Part 32: The aquarium on holiday

At the beginning of July, the holiday periods of the federal states are slowly beginning. This can sometimes be a headache, especially for newcomers. We have thought about this and put it together in a video. Maybe some of you will find the right tip in it. Have fun reading.

Lab corals to the rescue for the Great Barrier Reef in Australia

There is probably hardly a reader who has not been almost bombarded with vocabulary such as "coral bleaching", "coral bleaching", "El Niño", "climate change" and "increasing water temperatures in the oceans" for some years now. What billions of coral polyps created in about 600:000 years of construction, the formation of the largest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, humanity is destroying in record time. Now - thank God - a first active rescue attempt by scientists is emerging to save the reef after all.

Press release: The new X1 dosing pump from Kamoer

Often enough, one is faced with the problem that 3 or 4 channels are no longer sufficient for an existing dosing system. Kamoer has now launched a low-priced (64.95 EUR) 1-channel dosing system on the market. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of app control.

The future of marine aquaristics - will we soon all only be measuring with the Reefbot ?

Presented at Interzoo 2018 and widely acclaimed, the Reebot is now actually available. A computer for the automated measurement of various water parameters in marine aquariums. Immo Gerber took a look at the Reefbot and reports on it in this article. As a treat, there is a complete view of the software as a video.

From design to installation! The making of a Dreambox for the Red Sea Reefer 250

Kai Friedrich, a friend of ours, called one day and asked me if we would like to do a report on the development of a Dreambox. What a question, we wouldn't let something like that pass us by. So we went to Royal Exklusiv. There we met a very nice newbie in the MW scene who had just picked up his Dreambox. But we will come to Stephan, the newbie in the hobby, separately. That will be really funny.

Import stop Indonesia and the trade's handling of coral offshoots

The import ban from Indonesia is still in place. Since May 2018, no more corals have been coming from there and almost all of them are coming via Australia. This reduces the species enormously. What is the trade doing now with regard to offspring corals? We went to Aquapferkt, a wholesaler, and took a look at their breeding efforts. The whole thing as usual via video.
