What is an Aqua-terrarium / Paludarium?

You’ve seen them in zoos. They are a combination of conventional terrariums and aquariums. On top there’s a rainforest, below there’s an aquarium. This aqua-terrarium, also called a paludarium (latin: palus = swamp), is very popular with biotope enthusiasts. With it you can simulate riverbank zones, landscapes with waterfalls and water holes very authentically.

The land part needs to be set up like a terrarium, while the water part requires your knowledge of aquatics.

Turtle keepers have been using a kind of paludarium for decades and it is now becoming more and more popular with aquarists.

Just add a water part to a large aquarium with sufficient floor space (the water part needs to be shallow in proportion to the total height of the aquarium). As rule of thumb the depth of the water part approximately corresponds to the shell length of the turtle.

The water part is filtered with a suitable internal filter ( Filtro interior ) which is installed in a horizontal lying position to ensure good water quality. The appropriate water treatment with JBL Biotopol T is also important during water changes. The water temperature is controlled by means of an aquarium heater ( PROTEMP Aquecedor c/ termóstato exterior, interior ).

Since turtles love to rip out and eat aquatic plants the planting is tricky. This is then done in the land part, which the animals reach by climbing out of the water. The water zone should have sandy soil ( JBL Sansibar WHITE ) or gravel ( JBL Sansibar RIVER ).

You can decorate it with cork, woods and stones, just like nature does. Marsh plants have proven to be especially hard-wearing. The substrate is one of the usual terrarium substrates ( Substrato ). Just make sure that as little as possible of it moves from the land part into the water zone.

To ensure adequate lighting on the land part you can use fluorescent tubes ( Luz diurna com UV-B & Luz diurna com UV-B ) as well as spot lamps ( JBL ReptilSpot HaloDym & JBL ReptilDay Halogéneo ).

No matter whether you set up a paludarium for a turtle or you want to enlarge your water dragon’s habitat with an aquarium, there are no limits to your creativity and your manual dexterity.

Tell us in your comments about your paludarium or about your current plans for one.

Notificações PUSH da JBL

O que são realmente notificações push? Como parte do padrão W3C, as notificações Web definem uma API para notificações de utilizador final que são enviadas através das notificações do navegador para os seus dispositivos fixos e/ou móveis. Nos dispositivos finais, surgem notificações tal como o utilizador final as conhece das apps instaladas no dispositivo (por exemplo, e-mails). Nos dispositivos finais, surgem notificações tal como o utilizador final as conhece das apps instaladas no dispositivo (por exemplo, e-mails).

Estas notificações permitem que um operador de um website possa contactar os seus utilizadores enquanto estes tiverem o navegador aberto - independentemente de estarem a visitar o website no momento ou não.

Para poder enviar notificações Web Push, só é necessário um website com código de Web Push instalado. Assim, as marcas também podem utilizar várias vantagens das notificações push sem apps (comunicações em tempo real personalizadas no momento exato.)

As notificações Web fazem parte do padrão W3C e definem uma API para notificações de utilizador final. Uma notificação permite informar o utilizador sobre um acontecimento, por exemplo, um novo artigo no blogue, independentemente do contexto de um website.
