ADM Team Sascha Hoyer: Green Storm

In the post “ The Master School of Aquarium Design 2019: A Workshop With Six Experts " our outline showing all 6 aquariums has already given you the basics about this popular event. Now, by popular request from the myJBL community, we would like to go into more detail about each of the six masters’ aquariums. We asked each master the same set of questions and have summarised their answers in the post here, along with the relevant pictures. Use the comments function for your questions about the aquariums or for any further information you need.

JBL hosted this event together with the companies Tropica Aquarium Plants (provided the entire plant assortment) and Juwel Aquarium (provided the aquarium combination JUWEL RIO 125 LED white).

Let’s continue with the aquarium created by Team Sascha Hoyer with his apprentices Adrian Suslik and Tanja Pechhold.

About Master Sascha Hoyer

Since 2013, after a long period of abstinence, Sascha has reemerged as an active aquarium owner and aquascaper winning awards from various competitions. His reputation extends beyond the borders of Europe. As a specialist adviser for aquaristics in the pet shop sector and head of the Scapers Lounge, Sascha is not only experienced as a hobbyist, but also knows the business of the aquaristics industry very well and maintains close contacts to manufacturers and experts. Sascha is famous for his Wabi Kusas and the unusual layouts of his aquarium landscapes, with their great attention to detail.

What is the basic idea of the layout and what does it represent?

With this layout I wanted to display a Nature Style Aquarium featuring roots, which is both easy to implement and attractive.

Name of the layout

Looking at the layout, I have the picture in my mind’s eye of a fallen tree in a moor landscape, shining in the lush green after frequent rainfall. The tree uprooted by the storm stretches its roots into the air and lies softly in the green plant bed.

What material was used in the hardscape?

Driftwood was used as hardscape. We used the substrates JBL PROSCAPE VOLCANO POLVERE , JBL PROSCAPE VOLCANO MINERAL as a foundation layer and covered it with JBL PROSCAPE PLANT SUBSTRATO MARRONE . JBL PROSCAPE VOLCANO MINERAL is left visible at the transition to JBL Sansibar ORANGE to enhance the natural look.

Which plants were used?

  • Lilaeopsis mauritiana (potted)
  • Limnophila aromatica (bunch)
  • Mayaca fluviatilis (bunch)
  • Bolbitis heudelotii (potted)
  • Eleocharis montevidensis (potted)
  • Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' (potted)
  • Hemianthus micranthemoides (potted)
  • Hygrophila costata (potted)
  • Lilaeopsis brasiliensis (potted)
  • Limnophila hippuridoides (potted)
  • Lobelia cardinalis (potted)
  • Micranthemum umbrosum (potted)
  • Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' (potted)
  • Murdannia keisak (potted)
  • Pogostemon helferi (potted)
  • Rotala 'Green' (potted)
  • Rotala rotundifolia (potted)
  • Vesicularia ferriei 'Weeping' (portion)

What are the special features of the layout?

The aquarium had an inbuilt filter fixed inside. This has many advantages, but didn’t suit the intended look for our layout. YET, that wasn’t a problem as we considered how the filter could be integrated into the layout to make it less dominant without having its function impaired. That's why we chose a "flow" from right to left, determined by the driftwood.

Which other products were used?

Besides the substrates already mentioned JBL PROSCAPE VOLCANO POLVERE , JBL PROSCAPE VOLCANO MINERAL , JBL PROSCAPE PLANT SUBSTRATO MARRONE e JBL Sansibar ORANGE we used JBL PROHARU UNIVERSAL for gluing the roots. We stuck the plants with JBL PROHARU RAPID .

In order to position the filigree ground covers safely, we used plant pegs JBL PROSCAPE PLANTIS PINS . In addition we used the CO2 system JBL PROFLORA u504 as well as further Arnesi from the ProScape range. Simple cigarette filters proved to be an ideal supplement, as they were a real help in connecting JBL PROHARU RAPID to the product to be stuck on.

What difficulties did you have with the creation?

The challenge was to consider everything beforehand and let the filter disappear into the layout. In addition, we had to make sure that the driftwood would not float up again after being flooded with water. So we glued the branches with JBL PROHARU UNIVERSAL and weighted them down sufficiently.

What maintenance do you recommend for this layout in the start phase and as a routine afterwards? What needs to be considered?

As with many wood aquascapes, it is advisable to carry out lots of water changes during the first 2-3 weeks. It’s best to change at least 30% every 2 days. This not only prevents algae, but also ensures that the colouring agents inside the fresh wood are washed out.

After 3 weeks, the fertiliser needs to be actively started. For this I use in the first two weeks JBL PROSCAPE Fe +MICROELEMENTS e JBL PROSCAPE NPK MACROELEMENTS (after starting the fertilisation) only with half the dose and then increase to 100 %. With JBL PROAQUATEST LAB PROSCAPE the values Fe, NO3, PO4 can be monitored so you can further optimise the fertilisation.

You need CO2 to run from the beginning to supply the plants with sufficient carbon.

Tell us some anecdotes about the event day with the apprentices - where did you see them making progress, how did you work together, and what was especially fun?

The biggest challenge for me was to create a layout with the students from which they’d learn as much as possible and to create the optics I had in mind on a high level in a short time. A mix of trying out, showing and explaining not only led to a lot of fun, but also to a very good end result. It was a really cool day, as I learnt a lot too. It reminded me not to assume everything is obvious, but that I can explain and show a lot through my ideas and this will certainly help me in my future working life.

With this aquarium I wanted to show that you are not limited in height and can work beyond the frame. "Lost forest" was the motto, because behind all the plants you can only guess what is happening.

ADM Team Tobias Gawrisch „AquaOwner“: Rock Face

The original idea behind my layout was a massive rock face, completely filled and raised from behind with soil substrate, so that it covers the background completely. You can use small plants and even ground-covers at the top and back of the layout.

Notifiche push di JBL

Cosa sono le notifiche PUSH? In quanto parte dello standard W3C le notifiche web definiscono un'API per le notifiche rivolte agli utenti finali, che vengono trasmesse tramite browser ai dispositivi desktop e/o mobili degli utenti. Sui dispositivi finali appaiono notifiche come le conosce l'utente finale dalle applicazioni istallate sul dispositivo (ad es. email). Sui dispositivi appaiono le notifiche come le conosce l'utente finale dalle applicazioni installate sul dispositivo (ad es. email).

Queste notifiche permettono al gestore delle pagine web di contattare i suoi utenti mentre hanno ancora aperto un browser – indipendentemente dal fatto se l'utente sta visitando il sito web o no.

Per poter inviare notifiche push si ha bisogno soltanto di un sito web con un codice web push installato. In questo modo anche marchi senza applicazioni possono usufruire di molti vantaggi delle notifiche push (comunicazioni personalizzate in tempo reale, proprio nel momento giusto).

Le notifiche web fanno parte dello standard W3C e definiscono un'API per le notifiche all'utente. Una notifica permette di informare l'utente su un fatto, come ad es. un nuovo commento sul blog, al di fuori dal contesto di una pagina web.
