Opinions expressed in any article remain those of the author and are not necessarily endorsed by this publication Produced for FBAS website by Dick Mills www.fbas.co.uk EDITORIAL Well, another year has passed, in fishkeeping terms at least, and whilst we all ought to be looking forward to a reasonable rest period there are things to ponder on in the meantime. There was much sadness at the final Festival of Fishkeeping at Sand Bay coupled with much speculation as to its successor, both at a different venue and very likely in a very different format. With all that weighing on our minds, we were immediately plunged into hyper-activity for the Aquatics Live! event at Olympia almost before the Sand Bay tanks had time to dry out! On top of all that, we have to anticipate the Federation’s 75 th year in 2013 and, according to that notorious grapevine, there are some special changes on the way. Whatever the New Year brings, be assured that we’ll be here to comment on it and hopefully you will too! ‘Seasons Greetings’ to everyone in fishkeeping, wherever you happen to be reading this.

  • Aquaforest Products Guide
    Aquaforest Products Guide Contains your guide for starting and maintaining marine aquariums based on individual Aquaforest products. www.aquaforest.eu www.aquaforest.eu 1 Our guide contains recommended application of Aquaforest products in 4 main types of saltwater aquariums. 2 www.aquaforest.eu I - Fish Only Aquarium We suggest using Sea Salt & nitrification bacteria Bio S (1 drop/100 litres (27 US gal)). At the start of the aquarium we recommend to add the following products in a filter media, or in a good water flow: • Phosphate Minus (100ml/100l (27 US gal)) – in order to adsorb phosphates and silicates. • Carbon (100ml/100l (27 US gal)) – to remove water pollution. Additionally we also strongly suggest the use of Bio S bacteria with every water change. Fish can be introduced after 14 days from the start of the aquarium - if NO2 and NH4 are not present. 1. Disolve the salt, add nitrification bacteria and filter media + + + (30-33 ppt) 1 drop/100l (27 US gal) 100ml/100l (27 US gal) 100ml/100l (27 US gal) 2. Populate the aquarium with fish no sooner than 14 days from day 1 (If NO2 and NH4 are not present). We recommend that every animal or coral is introduced into the aquarium gradually so the biological balance is not fish disturbed. 3. After the settlement of life in aquarium we recommend to use following products: The dosage of each supplement depends on the number and fish size as well as quantity of administered food. Use 1 drop per 1 cube of food once per week alternately www.aquaforest.eu 3 II - Soft, LPS Corals and Fish Aquarium We suggest using Reef Salt & nitrification bacteria Bio S (1 drop/100 litres (27 US gal)).
