Variant (2):
Test set
JBL Oxygen Test O2 - Quick test to determine the oxygen content in fresh and saltwater aquariums and ponds.
Easy and reliable monitoring of the water values of aquariums and ponds. Determines the ideal oxygen content in freshwater and seawater
Quick test for monitoring the aeration: fill glass vial with sample water, add reagents, read sample value off colour chart
When to use: once a week in newly set up aquariums
1 quick test, Oxygen Test O2. Contents for approx. 50 measurements. Incl. 2 reagents, glass vial with screw cap and colour chart. Refill reagents available separately
Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with conditions close to natureThe right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium/pond. To maintain a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.
For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.
Why test?The well-being of aquarium and pond dwellers and the growth of aquatic plants depend to a large extent on the O2 level being kept as constant as possible. Oxygen is the “elixir of life” for all animal organisms. All animals in the aquarium and pond need oxygen to breathe. But the “invisible helpers” in the aquarium and pond, the bacteria that break down pollutants, also depend on sufficient supplies of oxygen in order to be able to carry out their useful activities. In aquariums and ponds with little or no planting and in marine aquariums the oxygen content always needs to be kept at an adequate balance using technical equipment. The water absorbs oxygen through the water surface. The more the surface is moving the more oxygen is absorbed. In case of dying algae and during the use of many medications the oxygen content in the water needs to be increased.

Healthy aquariums with conditions close to nature The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium. To maintain a healthy aquarium with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly. For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of rapid tests or color change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc. Why test? Silicon is one of the most common elements in the world. As a result of the weathering of silicate rocks, silicon is washed into surface and ground water in the form of silicate. Depending on the composition of the rocks in a particular area, the mains water will contain varying amounts of dissolved silicate. The significance of silicon for aquariums and garden ponds is as a nutrient for diatoms, some aquatic plants, siliceous sponges and many other invertebrates.

Laboratory comparator system: fill plastic cuvette with sample water, add reagents to cuvette, place cuvettes in holder, read off values on colour chart, read off in pH-NH4 table how much ammonium turns into toxic ammonia
Duration of use: For new freshwater set-up: 1x daily. For new marine water set-up: 1x weekly. For fish diseases or fish mortality.
1 rapid test, ammonium test NH4. Contents for approx. 50 measurements. Incl. 3 reagents, 2 glass cuvettes with screw cap, syringe, comparator block and colour scale.
Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with near-natural conditionsThe correct water values in the aquarium/pond depend on the fish population and the plants present. Even if the water looks clear, it may be contaminated. If the values are poor, diseases or algae can form in the aquarium/pond. For a healthy aquarium/pond with near-natural conditions, regular monitoring and adjustment of the water values is important.
Why test?The decomposition or mineralisation process of all organic substances in the aquarium and pond takes place via the following stages: Proteins > Ammonium > Nitrite > Nitrate. By measuring the stages, statements can be made about the "functioning" of the aquarium or pond system. If the ammonium or nitrite value is too high, this can lead to a disturbance in the bacterial balance. As a rule, ammonium will not be measurable in a well-maintained aquarium with an efficient biological filter or in a properly designed garden pond. Ammonium is an important plant nutrient and is not normally toxic to fish. Depending on the pH value, however, the ammonium ion can turn into ammonia, which is toxic to fish.

JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil black – active substrateJBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil Black is a natural, active volcanic substrate for aquascaping and planted aquariums. It promotes soft, slightly acidic water, provides support for plant roots and ensures a high-contrast aquarium design.JBL ProScape Soil Mount Aso Black is a natural, active volcanic substrate for professional aquascapes and densely planted aquariums. The black soil originates from Mount Aso in Japan and supports near-tropical water conditions with soft, slightly acidic water. At the same time, it provides aquarium plants with a firm hold in the substrate.
The porous structure of the volcanic soil ensures good water flow through the substrate. This supplies the plant roots with nutrients, whilst beneficial bacteria that break down pollutants find a large surface area on which to colonise. Furthermore, the substrate can bind colourants and suspended particles, thereby helping to keep the aquarium water clear.
The substrate is pre-cleaned, natural and free from sharp edges. This makes it suitable for aquariums with bottom-feeding or burrowing fish. The black colour sets aquarium plants, shrimps and colourful fish off to great effect and creates a natural, high-contrast look in the aquarium.Your benefits at a glanceBlack active soil for aquascaping and planted aquariumsNatural volcanic substrate from Mount Aso in JapanPromotes soft, slightly acidic waterProvides good support for plant rootsPromotes good water flow through the substrateLarge surface area for beneficial bacteriaBinds colourants and suspended solids in the waterCan bind excess nutrients and release them again as requiredPre-cleaned, natural substrateNo sharp edges; also suitable for burrowing fishIdeal for use in combination with JBL ProScape Volcano Powder and under-substrate heatersColour: BlackAvailable sizes3 litres9 litresInstructions for useRinse the soil briefly with tap water before adding it.

JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown – active substrateJBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown is a natural, active volcanic substrate for aquascaping and planted aquariums. It promotes soft, slightly acidic water, provides support for plant roots and binds suspended particles.JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown is a natural, active volcanic substrate for planted aquariums and professional aquascapes. The substrate originates from Mount Aso in Japan and supports a near-tropical aquarium environment with soft, slightly acidic water.
The textured grain size provides good anchorage for plant roots and ensures good water flow through the substrate. This allows the roots to be supplied with nutrients, whilst beneficial bacteria find a large surface area on which to colonise. Furthermore, the soil can bind colour-causing substances and turbidity in the water, thereby helping to keep the aquarium water clearer.
Unlike many other soils, JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil is natural and not enriched with additional nutrients, making it particularly suitable for aquascapers who wish to control fertilisation and water parameters precisely.Your benefits at a glanceBrown active soil for aquascaping and planted aquariumsNatural volcanic substrate from Mount Aso in JapanPromotes soft, slightly acidic waterPromotes vigorous plant growthProvides good support for plant rootsBinds colourants and suspended solids in the waterGood water flow through the substrate thanks to its textured grain sizeLarge surface area for beneficial bacteriaNo sharp edges; also suitable for burrowing fishNatural, without additional nutrient enrichmentIdeal for use with JBL ProScape Volcano PowderColour: BrownAvailable sizes3 litres9 litresInstructions for useRinse the soil briefly with tap water before adding it.
