Even though a lot of aquarists believe that their aquarium is kept perfectly clean by the filter, this is nothing but a fairy tale. A filter to keep the aquarium floor, the spaces between the decorations and the water clean would have to produce a current strong enough to make the fish all (and very clearly visibly) stick to the glass pane!

Heeft u al eens nagedacht over het schoonmaken van uw filter? JBL laat u stap voor stap zien hoe u bepaalde onderdelen simpel maar correct kunt reinigen. Een checklist zodat u niets vergeet.

Hi guys, Here comes a new episode of JBL Aqua Myths. This time we’re looking at the following 3 myths...

Today let’s talk about making the water change less messy, to save the living room carpet from getting ruined.

Hi guys, During my work at JBL I have been confronted time and again in various forums, posts or social media with theories in aquaristics which are often considered to be correct - but in reality do not correspond to the truth at all. For this reason we thought we’d start a short series called: JBL Aqua-Myths.

All you need to know about bacterial starters for aquariums: Should you wait 2 weeks after setting up the aquarium or use a bacterial starter straight away?

How do you prepare your water correctly before starting an aquarium? How do you get a biological balance?

When I first entered the administrative offices, I was very impressed by the display aquariums in the boss's office and in the various conference rooms.

When you set up an aquarium you also need to set up the biology in the water properly. It’s vital to add active cleansing bacteria to break down any pollutants and make the water habitable for the fish

Why do you need a bacteria starter? What happens if you run an aquarium without a bacteria starter?

How does the nitrogen cycle in the aquarium work? Why do nitrite values get too high and how can the value be reduced? Why adding salt is senseless.

But wait, how do I transport my aquarium(s) from A to B? What ’s important here? We have put together a checklist-like post that explains the process, so you won’t forget anything.

Based on our own experience in customer service and the many messages and questions we receive, we have put together the typical mistakes beginners may make. The experienced aquarist might well smile, but if they are honest, these are mistakes we all made at the start, aren’t they?

The fish stay under the water surface in the morning, gasping for air.

Think back to your childhood. Your bedroom was a small area for you to let your imagination run free. And unsurprisingly you felt like re-decorating and rearranging it at least every three weeks.

The JBL plant care concept leads to vigorous and healthy growth even with the most demanding aquatic plants. JBL has all the components you need, whether it’s a fertiliser, a bottom substrate or a fully automatic CO2 fertiliser system.

With the right products, aquarium care is not only easy, but can also be a lot of fun! The formulas that make up JBL products are based on intensive research and, especially with care products, their effects are not always immediately visible, yet in the medium and long-term they’ll result in a beautiful aquarium and healthy fish.

Every aquarium owner knows the situation: a filter needs to be replaced, but you’re not sure what the best way is to do it. Nobody wants to risk disturbing the filter bacteria because this could endanger the wellbeing of the aquarium dwellers.

In the previous post we discussed the use and necessity of bacteria products in aquariums. In this one we will answer your frequently asked questions on the subject.

Bacterial preparations for aquariums have been on the market for more than 20 years. That’s a very long time. From the start they were used to establish healthy bacterial flora or as an emergency measure to quickly add fish to a freshly set up aquarium.
