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 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.
