JBL TV #52 What kind of water do my aquarium fish need? What water values are ideal?

We want our aquarium fish to feel comfortable in the water. But what does ideal water mean for fish in the aquarium? Do we have to copy the water values from natural habitats? How can we turn soft tap water into hard water and hard water into soft aquarium water? Is it even necessary? Do we have to arrange our fish community according to the fish's country of origin or which criteria are important? The video explains what aquarists should really do to make aquarium fish feel comfortable and hopefully then reproduce. 

Here in the Themaworld Aquarium you can read about all the water values with explanations of the individual parameters:  Water values

Go to the Themeworld Aquarium for a better understanding of the individual water tests and procedures: Water tests

PUSH-Nachrichten von JBL

Als Teil des W3C-Standards definieren Web-Benachrichtigungen eine API für Endbenutzer-Benachrichtigungen, die über den Browser Benachrichtigungen an die Desktop- und / oder Mobilgeräte der Nutzer gesendet werden. Auf den Endgeräten erscheinen Benachrichtigungen, wie sie der Endnutzer von auf dem Gerät installierten Apps kennt (bspw. E-Mails).

Diese Benachrichtigungen ermöglichen es einem Webseitenbetreiber seine Nutzer so lange zu kontaktieren, wie seine Nutzer einen Browser offen haben - ungeachtet dessen, ob der Nutzer gerade die Webseite besucht oder nicht.

Um Web-Push-Benachrichtigungen senden zu können, braucht man nur eine Website mit einem installierten Web-Push-Code. Damit können auch Marken ohne Apps viele Vorteile von Push-Benachrichtigungen nutzen (personalisierte Echtzeit-Kommunikationen genau im richtigen Moment.)

Web-Benachrichtigungen sind Teil des W3C-Standards und definieren eine API für Endbenutzer-Benachrichtigungen. Eine Benachrichtigung ermöglicht es, den Benutzer außerhalb des Kontexts einer Webseite über ein Ereignis, wie beispielsweise über eine neuen Blog Beitrag, zu benachrichtigen.

Diesen Service stellt die JBL GmbH & Co. KG kostenlos zur Verfügung, welcher genauso einfach aktiviert, wie deaktiviert werden kann.
