This article is about the so-called Brown Jelly - or Rapid Tissue Necrosis, the sudden tissue death in corals. Responsible for this is a ciliate known to us as Helicostoma notatum. However, this is a synonym for Porpostoma notatum! Causes and possible treatment methods for Rapid Tissue Necrosis = rapid tissue death
Auto Aqua already has some good products that help us aquarists in our daily work. Most of them have something to do with water, whether it is the reliable refilling of osmosis water or the prevention of overflowing when producing water. The distributor aquariOOm.com is currently bringing some TDS measuring devices onto the market that fit in well with the rest of the Auto Aqua portfolio.
Update 20.09. The system aquarium from AquaPerfekt. 07.09 was the day of days. Royal Exclusiv from Wesseling near Cologne invited to the already well-known summer party. In addition to the organiser himself, there were many other companies on site, including: 1. Aquaperfekt, 2. Meerwasser Böttcher, 3. Faunamarin, 4. ATI, 5. Emoceans and 6. New Wave, 7. Aquabee and 8. Panta Rhei. You could inform yourself about the companies and their products all day long. Royal also provided us with excellent food and drink. From my point of view, it was a very successful event. There were many new things that we will report on in the following. All the videos and snippets from the fair will be collected bit by bit in this article.
For aquarists with thicker glass panes - up to 19mm - there is now the Tunze Stream 3+. There is no need to write anything more about this flow pump with an output of 2,5000 to 15,000 litres, it is well known to many. The Tunze Stream 3+ will be on the market in the course of the month.
In the past few days, Aqua Medic released a new UV clarifier series called Helix Max 2.0. This new version has improved considerably in terms of processing and more flexible application possibilities. You can see the unpacking, the key data and a look inside in the video.
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.
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 :-(
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.
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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
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.
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.
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.
