Product information

Clean and healthy water
Plant and food remains and metabolic substances lead to a deterioration of the quality of the water in the aquarium. Good water quality is necessary for healthy fish and plants. This can be achieved with various filters and filter materials. The filters suck in the aquarium water and remove the pollution and waste materials with the filter material from the water.

Easy to use
Put corresponding amount of filter wool as last filter stage into the filter. Avoid gaps between the inner wall and filter.

Can be used without fear of side effects
No release of pollutants into the aquarium thanks to residue-free wool.

FAQ
In which filter stage is filter floss placed in the internal and external filter?

Filter floss can clog up quickly and absorb the finest turbidity particles, so it needs to be replaced when the water flow rate decreases. To ensure that the filter remains unaffected when it is being replaced and that the other filter media can do their job properly, coarse and fine filter floss (JBL Symec and JBL Symec XL) should always be placed in the last stage (please consider water flow) before the outlet.

Great Filter wool! i usually change it every 3 weeks in most of my tanks and it makes my water crystal clear.

i also like to use this product as a barrier, to avoid mixing the soil with the sand in the foreground.

Ich nutze die Filterwatte in meinen vier 38l Becken, sowie einem 10l Nano.

Die Filterwatte fängt wirklich viel auf! Ich bin wirklich überzeugt. Die setzt sich nur dann zu, wenn wirklich viel Trübungen oder Schwebstoffe im Wasser sind.

Wenn man sie im Rucksackfilter unten einsetzt, hat man eine Dauerwatte für biologische Filterung! Ich nehme sie in Kombi mit Symec Vlies oder micro

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
