Product information

Species-appropriate environment
Fish need more than plants and caves to feel at home. One way to provide protection is to use a suitable background, which indicates a safe zone in the aquarium. A background is not only welcome for the fish but it is also helpful for hiding unattractive technical items. Give your aquarium more flair and offer your aquarium dwellers a species-appropriate environment.

Use:
Cut the foil background all around one cm smaller than the aquarium or terrarium background. Lay the aquarium/terrarium with the front pane on a stable enough surface. Apply an external cap of JBL Fixol on about the middle of the back glass. Lay pre-cut foil background on top and smooth it with the enclosed spatula from the centre outwards, avoiding bubbles. Wipe off excessive glue with a cloth or tissue paper. Fix background foil all around with transparent adhesive tape. Can be removed with clear water at any time.

FAQ
How much Fixol do I need for my aquarium?

A cap contains 2.5 ml and is sufficient for about 0.6 m2. The entire content is sufficient for 20 x 0.6 m2 = 12 m2.

In the description it states that I should use a cap of the product as a measuring unit. But there is no cap on the product.

"Cap" refers to the screw-on cap. Place the glue in the middle and then scrape off to the outside.

Does JBL Fixol dissolve the colour of the foil on the rear panel?

If the colour print comes off, it is very unlikely to be due to Fixol, as it does not contain any solvents.

Verklebt die Fotorückwand gut mit dem Glasbecken. Durch den beigelegten Spachtel lassen sich alle Blasen mit etwas Übung rausschieben. Es empfiehlt sich von der Mitte nach außen dabei zu streichen.

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.
