Aquarium underlay

The suitable underlay for your aquarium

You can, of course, position your aquarium on an absolutely flat and clean surface without an underlay. But even a tiny sand grain or stone may cause the bottom panel to crack and to turn your living room into a wetland. It is therefore highly advisable to invest a small amount in purchasing a suitable aquarium underlay. This compensates for unevenness to a certain extend and prevents tiny stones from becoming a problem. A few insurance companies ask in case of a water damage whether an aquarium underlay was in use. JBL offers you foam underlays ( JBL AquaPad ) which are cut to an appropriate size. Please also think about the future weight of your aquarium, when selecting the aquarium cabinet! Roughly calculate the water volume of your tank in kg for the weight (you actually need to allow a further 10 % for the glass weight and decoration, such as gravel and stones).

By the way, the aquarium underlay not only prevents glass damage, but also insulates and thus saves energy (and energy costs)!

Another advantage of the dark-coloured underlays which usually pass unnoticed (in contrast to the styrofoam from the DIY store) is their thermal insulation. The foamed plastic has excellent heat-insulating properties and thus prevents significant heat loss to the cabinet or wall at which the aquarium stands. This means that the cost of a quality aquarium underlay is quickly recouped by the electricity saved on the aquarium heater. Often, but not always, it is also possible to cover the side panes with a cut-to-size aquarium underlay to provide additional heat insulation. Heating energy should never go to waste...

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.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
