On the journey: the LPS temple Meerwasser Böttcher near Cologne

Jonny Böttcher has been on the market for a long time. In addition to the specialist shop in Bergheim Nieraußem, the wholesale company Aqua Perfekt is certainly a well-known name. The shop has been completely rebuilt in the past few days and now shines in new splendour. What we were able to see there in terms of LPS, Meerwasser Böttcher certainly doesn't have to hide from De Jong's showcase at Interzoo. I even think that the more beautiful corals can be found in Cologne :-) Enjoy the video and article.

How a marine aquarium is created-Part 6: The recirculation pump

Since the Aqua Medic Armatus series does not include a return pump, it is now time to install one. Of course, you can choose freely from the market, but you should always take into account the head that this pump has to cope with. So it's better not to choose too little. Modern pumps can usually also be controlled or regulated down.

How a marine aquarium is created-Part 5: The current Part 2

Now it's time to put the 2 Tunze Streams into operation properly. Above all, however, it is time to get the second to work together with the first. To do this, connect both controllers with a cable available from Tunze.

Acanthastreas, Micromussa, change in names and new species introduced

These findings, which are the result of new research methods, have once again led to new genus and species names and we have to "save" these in the lexicon. But besides taxonomic changes, we are pleased to see that completely new genera (e.g. Australophyllia) and new species (e.g. Micromussa indiana and Micromussa pacifica) are described. See the article for more information and photos.

How a saltwater aquarium is created-Part 4: The initial water

The water in particular has a strong influence on the development of the planned marine aquarium. Since we often no longer have such clean water, the market offers reverse osmosis systems. These can be used to purify the water. However, there are also important things to consider here.

How a marine aquarium is created-Part 3: The current

Unlike in freshwater aquariums, sessile corals need a good and constantly high exchange of water. In the past, 5-10 times the tank volume was assumed, but today we are closer to 20 or more times the volume. The structure of the aquarium and the growth of the animals also have an influence here. Especially well-growing SPS corals swallow a lot of current.

How a marine aquarium is created-Part 2: The stone structure

After a break of almost 10 years, we are making a new saltwater aquarium. It was an exhibitor at Interzoo, namely the Aqua Medic Armatus 400. Here you can see the development from the beginning in many videos that are gradually coming online. Part 2 now deals with the stone structure.

The new products from Pazfic Sun are now available at Aqua Perfekt. 4 NEW products in the video

Actually, we just wanted to buy some corals. This turned into three videos about four new products from Pazific Sun, a company that is not yet very well known in this country. Whereas especially with LED ... you should have heard something about that... They have been around for a while in various designs. In any case, Pacific Sun surprised us with the fact that they have their own T5 tubes in addition to a great hybrid lamp. We also got to see the new algae reactor and the well thought-out water refill. Enjoy the video.

How a marine aquarium is created Part 1: The Aqua Medic Armatus 400 is supplied.

Finally, the time has come again. After a break of almost 10 years, we are making a new saltwater aquarium. It was an exhibitor at Interzoo, namely the Aqua Medic Armatus 400. Here you can see the development from the beginning in many videos that are gradually coming online.

Interzoo News: Rossmont Waver pumps and new LED from Kessil

Most of you will have noticed that Robert from Korallenriff.de shoots a video with Faunamarin once a week.

Self is the woman. Melanie's 720 litre reef aquarium

Melanie lives near Cologne and showed three photos of her aquarium on Facebook not long ago. Since we are always quite curious, we got in touch and were able to win Mel for a video interview. The special thing about your reef is the story behind it. Enjoy the article and the video.

A visit to Extremecorals in Holzgerlingen, 2018

We come to Fauna Marin quite often to shoot videos, but we haven't shown any recent footage of Extremecorals for a long time. Now we want to change that. We have made a small video clip and some actual footage. You can find them all in the article

Interzoo: The Mega Show Tank from DeJong Marinelife

We are not the only ones who are always drawn to the DejongMarinelife stand. All press representatives and bloggers, as we are now called, are actually always to be found at the De Jong stand. And often on several days. No wonder there are usually rare beauties swimming there that we normal aquarists probably don't get to see most of the time. In this report you can expect many photos and a nice video of the incredible show tank.

In addition, there was new black Caribic Sand, change knives for the ceramic knife, a new supplementary trace element "potassium" and a bristle worm trap.

Interzoo News: The new D-D ClariSea AUTOMATIC fleece filter

The Clarisea caused quite a stir when it was launched. At that time, there was no smaller one to buy. It has now been completely redesigned and, in this respect, no longer has much in common with the first version. Matthew and David Saxby were available for a video interview.
