Tunze Turbelle Stream 6105 – The Complete Review

The Tunze Stream Turbelle 6105 can be considered as the main product of the lineup of the Tunze pumps. This is because they can be used in aquariums from 300 to 400 liters, which are the ones most advance aquarist chose to use today. These are those aquariums that are larger than a nanoreef but smaller than a 500.

In this way they can still provide a decent catchment area, especially if we consider that 120cm aquariums of length are the ones which have the best ratio among quality/price/performance for keeping sps corals, which is reason why aquarist buy these pumps.

Interzoo 2010 Nürnberg: Elos News

Also this year I will begin my description of Interzoo 2010 at Nuremberg starting from Elos, as was done for the last Interzoo 2008, this is due to a long time past into the Italian stand, both for the many new features, as always Elos is usual to disclose them during this very important International Fair.

This year’s Elos wanted to surprise us with a space stand, lit with many new solutions led, and that gave a characteristic blue light to the whole complex. Under the “passage” there were two beautiful tanks, one fresh water and one marina, as well as skimmers and calcium reactors as a corollary. Outside instead are placed two rows of tanks on the right the new fantastic Elos Midi, and to the left the SystemMini with a juicy news represented in the new Paludarium. All around the many novelties.

Zeus by Oceanlife – Recensione

For English version please click here

Uno dei punti più critici nella gestione di un acquario è sicuramente quello della gestione delle emergenze che si presentano nel caso di una interruzione della linea elettrica.
La mancanza di energia elettrica ha come prima ed immediata conseguenza quella di far crollare il contenuto di ossigeno in acquario e quindi anche il pH, e subito dopo quella di portare la vasca a non essere più riscaldata o raffreddata a dovere.

Easy Blade

For English version please click here

Dopo aver tanto letto degli Easy Blade su internet, e dopo aver realizzato che la mia vasca è sempre da pulire, e che le alghe calcaree la fanno da padrone sui vetri, mi sono deciso ad acquistarle. Ordinate da Nicola di TechnoReef sono arrivate nel giro di pochissimo tempo, neanche 48 ore ed erano a casa mia.

E’ stato molto più arduo decidere se comprarle o meno, e se acquistarle insieme alla calamita della Tunze.

Alla fine la scelta è caduta su una calamita generica ma galleggiante e l’Easy Blade.

Quando arriva a casa, si perché letteralmente significa “lama facile”, si presenta in due pezzi distinti oltre alla lama ed alla vite con bullone in plastica (come potete vedere dalla foto), e deve essere montata.

Per vedere le altre foto, per sapere come montarla e come non fare danni, cliccate qua

I’ve heard many of my friends speaking about easy blade, so I’ve decided to buy one for me to use on my tank.

The Easy Blade is composed of 2 pieces and one blade, it’s easy to setting up and it works!!!

Zeus… conto alla rovescia… – Count Down

for english version please click here

Ho provveduto a scollegare lo Zeus dalla presa elettrica per vedere quanto riesca a tenere accesa la mia pompa di risalita Eheim Power Compact 2000 plus. Sono le 12.45

Devo rilevare che ci sono 30 gradi ed il 50% di umidità nell’aria, che non sono sicuramente le migliori alleate di Zeus per ottenere il record.

Leggete i commenti per essere aggiornati sul tempo raggiunto

I’ve just unplugged from wall my OceanLife Zeus to check how many hours it can drive my return pump with his battery.

12.45 am…

The temperature is about 30 celsius degrees, and the humidity is about 50%

Let’s check…

Zeus by OceanLife

for english version please click here

Sono finalmente passato allo Zeus di OceanLife. Chi mi legge sa quanto reputo importante la mia vasca, e la gestione della vasca nei momenti di black out penso sia un dovere verso i nostri ospiti, coralli o pesci che siano.

Fino ad ora, come potete leggere qua: L’uso di un UPS in acquario ho usato un gruppo di continuità con onda pseudosinusoidale della APC, con 800VA e due batterie in serie con una capacità di 7AH.

In the last days I’ve setting up the new Zeus from OceanLife. I think you know me by reading my pages, so you know how much I’m interesting to healty and wealthy of my aquarium system, towards fishes and corals.

Until now I’ve used a back-up UPS from APC as you can read here L’uso di un UPS in acquario only in italian because it’s an old article.

So yesterday the APC with 7AH capacity of battery and today 40AH on Zeus, but the difference are more and more.
