Once this operation is performed, immerse the photometer Aqua-check in the flask and read the result…
You will tell me : 'I have a pH electronic meter that once immersed in water gives me the pH'
But it is precisely where the Aqua-check of Söll is any interest… Because this measuring product allow to appreciate many parameters in a very reliable manner such as nitrates, nitrites, chlorine, GH, the KH, phosphates etc… just for the basic model!
A material that will accompany the discus lovers in their understanding of the main parameters of water for the discus.
Revolutionary Artemia 'Artemia SEP - Art technology' Ocean Nutrition
Here also… Big folder, and I would even say HUGE folder! Because the novelty proposed by Ocean nutrition is simply brilliant!
It will impress surely all ornamental fish breeders and I think will find many applications in aquaculture areas.
I ask you a question: How do you separate the empty shells of brine shrimps (or non-hatched) from Live brine shrimps you give to your fry?
A real loss of time is this not?
Well Ocean Nutrition offers you its latest generation of brine shrimps cysts SEP Art Technology which will allow you to obtain the artemia nauplii without any eggshell that may cause intestinal occlusions in your fry.
Septic??? Follow the guide !
The principle is simple, because shells of brine react to the magnetization. So when the artemia nauplii are hatched, simply place the incubation bottle water in a separator strongly magnetized to see the shells stick to the magnet; leaving the brine shrimps nauplii only swimming in the water.
Discover this method here below in pictures… And I let you click on the link to the video of the SEP Art technology of ocean Nutrition brine shrimps.
