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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think that every aquarist has had to deal with the thought of a fish jumping out of the aquarium. Here we have four solutions for you that deal exactly with this issue. In addition, we have built our own DIY aquarium net cover.
Of course, we are not immune to plagues. Immediately after the diatoms that are typical during the run-in, the whole thing quickly turned a rich red - we had cyanobacteria! First the bottom, a short time later the stones too. And it was quite an agile form, according to an examination by Mrutzek Meeresaquaristik. Here we show you the measures we took.
Current is a particularly important topic in the marine aquarium. It ensures that food reaches the corals and that each coral polyp is sufficiently supplied. The current also removes pollutants from the corals so that no sediment is deposited. A few days ago, the new NERO 5 from Aquaillumination was launched in Germany. We took a closer look at it and made a video.
