Primordial Crayfish Primer

Prehistoric crabs lived on our planet before the dinosaurs. They have the fascination of living fossils. The rapid development from an inconspicuous egg from dry earth to an archaic-looking creature has fascinated Kai Alexander Quante since his childhood.
Today the aquarist is a recognised expert and experienced practitioner in the field of ecology, aquarium equipment, breeding, care, reproduction and socialisation of prehistoric crayfish in the aquarium. In addition to the well-known brine shrimp Artemia (also known as fish food), the author shows in this practical handbook how to keep, breed and feed prehistoric crustaceans in an aquarium world that will delight young and old.

JBL pH 3.0-10.0 test
Variant: Test set | Variant (2): Test set
JBL pH Test 3.0-10.0 - Quick test to determine the acidity in ponds as well as in freshwater and marine aquariums Easy and reliable monitoring of the water values of aquariums and ponds. Determines the ideal pH values for freshwater and seawater Quick test: fill plastic vial with sample water, add reagent, read value of the sample off colour chart When to use: for setting up a new aquarium: daily for one week, afterwards weekly 1 quick test, pH Test 3-10 Test for approx. 80 measurements 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 pH level being kept as constant as possible. The pH level can also affect many substances dissolved in the water. Fluctuations in the pH level are definitely to be avoided.
