The Aquatronica TOUCH CONTROLLER SYSTEM

A few days ago we received a very big package, namely the Aquatronica aquarium computer. Just to mention a few data: ... measures and controls the water level, measures and controls the temperature, measures PH, Redox and conductivity. Of course, it can also report faults, either via email or via an additional SMS module. There is a huge range of accessories such as pump controls, e.g. Tunze, etc., etc. We will now unpack the device and take a look at it. There will then be a comprehensive video about it.

The BONBON seawater aquarium by Kai Friedrich and the Reefloat

Kai Friedrich comes from Mannheim and is a marine aquarist with heart and soul. He is particularly fond of the large polyps. We finally managed to film the extremely colourful aquarium (which wasn't easy at all). A few days before our visit, the Reefloat arrived, which Immo Gerber introduced to us a long time ago. Here we were also allowed to film a little bit. The Reefloat will certainly divide opinion. Ultimately, it is an almost fully automated and gentle water change by means of a device.

How a marine aquarium is created Part 25: Fighting the glass lice

Unfortunately, the first action to destroy the glass lice did not really lead to success. Here we show you how to continue. This time the subject is Wurdemanni shrimps and a small nudibranch called Berghia, which likes glass lice.

How a seawater aquarium is created Part 24: Glass lice and turbellariae

Despite using dead rock, we now have the first glass lice in the aquarium after about 4 months (as of November). In addition, there are a few planaria, although the correct name is turbellaria. They were probably brought in with bought offshoots. In spite of all efforts to examine the corals, some of them managed to establish themselves in the 400 litre tank. We show how to deal with them, but also name animal enemies and their advantages and disadvantages.

The new pendix LED luminaire from Daytime

Announced at Fisch & Reptil by Dirk Sturm, the new pendix LED luminaire from daytime is already available. This is an ingenious modular LED system for open aquariums. We took a look at it at Megazoo Düsseldorf together with Horst Roguschke and of course shot a video about it.

The NAUTI DISCOVER system aquarium from ATL

At Fisch und Reptil 2018, the NAUTI DISCOVER system aquarium was on display and, of course, also available for purchase. We didn't miss the opportunity to film the great system aquarium for you. Especially because it differs considerably from the usual aquarium systems.

THE Oktoberfest for northerners. The AqZeNo Oktoberfest on 5 October is coming up.

Aqzeno (Aquaristik Zentrum Nord) in Pinneberg near Hamburg is holding its famous Oktoberfest on 5 October 2019. You can find out what's waiting for you in the article :-)

Merry Christmas

We wish all our volunteers, readers, customers and sponsors, and of course our friends, a blessed, peaceful and reflective Christmas and a happy new year. the whole team of the seawater encyclopaedia, coral reef and anchor&more.

Fisch Reptil: At the stand of the company ATI

Dr. Ben Funk was available for an interview at the ATI stand. The main topic was the quite new EPO Reef, which can be used quite easily for a reef construction. It really couldn't be any simpler. In addition, there was interesting information about the Essentials pro.

Fish Reptile: the Fauna Marin stand

This is how marketing can work... while other exhibitors came along in the usual uniform white, Fauna had a black tent, lots of black light, great works of art on the wall that shone and of course the usual great corals and the well-known accessories. This stand was really something special, but it was hard to film with normal equipment. Therefore, a mobile phone with a filter had to be used.

Fish Reptile: At TransMarine, Riffkeramik.de and the interview with Blumentier Aquaristik

TransMarine was there for the first time in Sindelfingen, an interesting stand with great corals. Here, too, we found what we were looking for. Then, of course, there was the great decoration by Riffkeramik.de, which showed what a modern reef setup could look like today. This article is rounded off with an interview with Tobi from Blumentier Aquaristik.

Fish Reptile: Coral and Sea, Coral Outlet and Lisa's Coral

We continue with reporting from the Fisch & Reptil in Sindelfinden. At Lisa's Koralle there was a very interesting project to see, namely how a filter basin and the drainage shaft can look optimally. The solution was a transparent system with components from Royal Exclusiv. Then we went to Korallen und Meer and Korallen Outlet.

Fish Reptile: Zoa surprise at Preis Aquaristik

Where we were used to beautiful Ricordeas, this time we saw really beautiful Zoa crusts, as well as Mushroom Bubbles and Co. We thought that was great, so we also took two Zoa offshoots with us.

Fisch Reptil - Korallenzucht Karlsruhe and aquarioom

At Korallenzucht Karlsruhe, of course, it was all about corals and fish, besides the very expensive and special corals. At aquariOOm it was all about the new Maxspect Gyre, the Fragnifer - a glass cleaner with magnifying glass and rack function -, the 4-channel dosing system Kamoer X4 Wifi, the new very chic LED light from GNC, as well as the already expected Reefbot, the computer that is supposed to be able to measure water for us.

Fisch Reptil 2018: ARKA's stand featured new Hang On skimmers, media filters, base sets and reef ceramics.

ARKA had a veritable firework of products at the start. There were new media filters, backpack technology for people without technical basins, hang-on systems and more. ARKA also launches colour filters for blue light photography with the MY REEF Studio.

How a marine aquarium is created-Part 23: The water level - drain problem in the marine aquarium

After almost exactly 3 months of operation, a phenomenon has occurred in our Aquamedic Armatus tank: the water level in the main tank rises inexplicably every day. Mostly this happens at night. This does not seem to be an Aqua Medic specific problem, as I have found and watched several opinions and videos on other systems such as RedSea or Eheim. But see for yourself how we are tackling this now with the help of Aqua Medic.

This was the 1st Marine Aquarium Conference of Europe

The Marine Aquarium Conference of Europe, is the MEGA EVENT for marine aquarists that took place on 24 and 25 November. It was organised by the Antwerp Marine Aquarium Society (AZAC45) for their 45th anniversary. There were many great corals to buy, several lectures by well-known speakers. We have brought along a few impressions.

Finally available! The brand new Nyos® TORQ® media reactor

Filter media often lie passively in filter socks and are not used properly (channel formation etc.). Media are often replaced even though the capacity is not yet exhausted. The solution: Filter media must be flown through optimally and from all sides. A media reactor is the best choice for this. Presented at Interzoo, it is finally coming onto the market after 6 months of waiting.

How a saltwater aquarium is created Part 22: New 60-litre osmosis tank and AutoAqua Smart Micro water refill

Since the 16 litre internal solution of the osmosis water tank is too little for us, and we also have to "drag" it every three to four days, we had a very fancy osmosis tank built after tips on Facebook in a group. The AutoAqua smart ATO micro water refill system was installed for this purpose.

How a marine aquarium is created Part 21: Cyanos, fish and DIY aquarium net cover

Now you can see how the cyanobacteria are progressing. The first fish have now moved in, 1 Armatus coral guard, Neocirrhites armatus, 4 flag perch, Pseudanthias randalli and 2 arrow gobies, Nemateleotris decora followed a few days later by 2 Gramma loreto. And we are building a DIY aquarium net cover.
