#HannoverScape2016 – Rankings

Last weekend the final of the aquarium designing competition #HannoverScape2016 took place as part of the Heimtiermesse Hannover.

The 12 contestants who succeeded in the preliminary round to reach the final, were each awarded an aquarium ( Fluval Vue ), aquatic plants ( Tropica Aquarium Plants ) and numerous JBL products ( JBL PROFLORA u501 , Water test , ProScape Substrate of soil and sand, ProScape tools in a X JBL PROSCAPE TOOL BAG , ProScape PROSCAPE Special fertiliser and further care and accessory products) for the setting up and maintenance free of charge. They didn’t have much time and exactly that was the challenge. A few weeks before the day of the final decision the finalists had to design the aquarium at home and to prepare for the event down to the last detail. The sky was the limit for their creativity.

The challenge was to transport the aquarium undamaged to the exhibition, so that only slight adjustments were needed on-site. Everything worked out extremely well, except for one participant. She had a small mishap en route which she felt ruled her out from taking part. And this was what set this competition apart from the others; several other contestants immediately set to work to put together the remains of her layout for her.

They did more than just repair it, they added their ideas to it, so that an eye-catchingly beautiful, intact aquarium was created. We had to admire the way that the aquascapers exchanged tips, tricks and contacts with each other for two days and were more a team than “opponents”. The team of sponsors, who were there to help the contestants round the clock, were also reminded that aquarium keeping is a wonderful hobby and one which is even better when it is shared.

The time had finally come on Saturday afternoon. The tension was written in the contestants’ faces. Everyone was hoping for the prize money of €200. The jury, consisting of Adrie Baumann ( Aquascaping Symphony ), Anne Braun ( Tropica Aquarium Plants ), Roland Zobel & Anry Zyrus ( Hagen Deutschland ) and Matthias Wiesensee ( Home ), had closed off the exhibition area for the judging for nearly 2 hours. A difficult job because the devil is in the details. Following a well-defined ranking system laid down in a questionnaire the layouts were put to the acid test and examined carefully. Along with the jury’s evaluation the spectators were given the opportunity to vote for their favourites and to take part in a competition. The winner of this prize was Florian Neumann from SoNA Aquascaping .

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.
