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?

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.

Granted, nobody really enjoys testing water. It’s time-consuming and sometimes you’re not sure which colour on the chart your water result matches. But water testing really can be lifesaving – at least for your fish!

Many aquarium owners think that the general hardness represents the total of all minerals and the carbonate hardness only a part of it. Then how can the carbonate hardness sometimes be higher than the total of minerals?

Our 15 expeditions have taught us something new: In natural waters nitrogens (ammonium/ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) and phosphates are ALWAYS scarce and below the limit of detection. Only when humans have an influence on the natural water, can nitrogens and phosphates be found.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter. For each season there is a different maintenance to follow and various aspects to consider.

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.

The carbonate hardness (not the general hardness!) contains components which stabilize the pH level. They prevent extreme pH levels and ensure the aquarium functions properly.

Mit den richtigen Produkten ist die Aquarienpflege nicht nur einfach, sondern kann auch viel Spaß machen! Die auf intensiver Forschung basierenden Zusammensetzungen der JBL Produkte sind zwar gerade bei Pflegemitteln nicht immer auf den ersten Blick erkennbar, aber auf jeden Fall mittel- und langfristig am schönen Aquarium und gesunden Fischen abzulesen.

I have talked about KH and pH with a lot of koi dealers, experts and professionals in the past few weeks.

In the aquarium scene we often hear people talking about “accurate” and “inaccurate” tests. But mostly they mean a rougher or finer scaling of the output values.

The water in your aquarium is outstandingly significant because it is a life-giving element for fish and plants.

Professional water analysis sounds very expensive. But the professional water testing in your aquarium or pond at home also works on a high level and above all it is simple and inexpensive.

If we transfer this Liebig’s Law of the Minimum to the aquatic field it quickly becomes clear how important balanced fertilisation is for plant aquariums.

Geen enkel thema is momenteel zo relevant als hevige regenval. Overal in Duitsland zijn overstromingen een probleem. Ook voor uw vijver maakt zoveel regen een verschil. Door de verdunning met het regenwater daalt de carbonaathardheid van het vijverwater.

Even if your fish have fallen ill, it is not too late. Nonetheless we want to save the fish from getting ill. About 90 % of all fish diseases are the result of a weakening of the immune system.
