The story of liquid CO2 fertilisation

A lot of aquarists are talking about liquid CO2, which is said to be able to replace a conventional pressurized gas system or a bio-CO2 system. Those kind of products are said to be easy to dose and the “liquid CO” easy for the plants to absorb. Users have reported very different results. There have been reports of enhanced plant growth and also of negative effects on the algae. This blog series deals with the most important facts and background information in order to provide you with a realistic basis for your decision whether to adopt it in your aquarium.

Background

Carbon dioxide is the nutritional basis for aquatic plants and it is supplemented through micro and macronutrients and light. The balance between all three elements is necessary for thriving plant growth in the aquarium. You will find further details in the blog: Why is carbon dioxide (CO2) the most important plant nutrient in the aquarium?

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.
