FAQ
Where can I find the record sheets for the documentation of my water analysis?

Have you lost your record sheets, already filled them all in or do you need them in another language?
With the following links you can quickly and easily print out your new record sheets with recommendations for the individual parameters at home and document the water analyses.

Despite CO2 fertilisation the indicator remains blue

No CO2 is generated when fertilising with so-called liquid carbon. Therefore the test is not able to indicate CO2, which means that the indicator always remains blue! If you add CO2 in gas form you need to increase the amount or the duration.

How do I properly open/close the CO2/pH permanent test diffuser?

To open the CO2/pH permanent test diffuser (angled model with black stand) just pull at the transparent cover with a sharp tug. The lid fits very tightly to prevent the diffuser liquid from leaking into the aquarium. To easily close the CO2/pH permanent test 2 diffuser (round model with white back) we recommend lubricating the seals with JBL SiliconeSpray. It is advisable to attach the lid in a tilted position and to press firmly against the bottom for 3-5 seconds to make sure that the rubber seal slips inside. Otherwise you can repeatedly press in “pumping strokes”. This ensures that the seal does not slip off and the diffuser liquid does not escape into the aquarium.
Both instructions apply to all batches manufactured until 10/2016. Subsequent models are provided with a modification which reduces the described effect if problems occur.

Is the fluid of the JBL CO2/pH Permanent Test harmful to the tank inhabitants if some of it gets into the water?

The fluid itself with the colour indicator is not harmful in any way with the high dilution in the tank and, in addition, it decomposes very quickly.

JBL CO2/pH Permanent: Does ozone affect or distort measurements in the CO2 permanent test?

Depending of the dosage it is quite possible that the ozone attacks the indicator of the CO2 permanent test and “oxidizes”. A reasonable continuous measurement of CO2 is then not possible with this method.

Why are you letting your plants starve?

EVERY aquarium plant needs carbon dioxide (CO2) to survive and to grow! Fast growing species especially need a lot of CO2, and red fish species need CO2 fertilisation to survive.

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.
