Pump Tunze Silence 1073.050 The new test!
As we have already had occasion to comment in the test on the pumps Tunze, we were able to criticize the behavior of the electronic return pump Tunze 1073.050, a pump with incredible quality, but that it hadn’t impressed with the data we measured. After contacting the company in conjunction with the publication of the article, the same Tunze assured us that it would provide a new pump to redo all of our tests.
As usual, we measured the prevalence, output and consumption. Unlike the last time when we went to Sicce factory to make measurements complete and accurate, we just did our “homemade” test but now well standardized.

Preview: New Planctondose of Planctontech, the natural food
I have always claimed the importance of properly feed invertebrates in a reef aquarium. Finally, thanks to the availability of our friend Roberto Ferri we remember in a famous speech about coral’s nutrition and coloration that you can view right here (it’s an italian speech): The pigmentation of corals: a multifactorial situation. Report by Roberto Ferri, we have here to test a sample of New PlanctonDose from Planctontech.

Andrea’s Negusanti Italian Marine Aquarium
Here we are to introduce and comment one of the most beautiful reef tanks I’ve ever seen. Most of all, we’d like to admire the skill of Andrea Negusanti, aka AndreaNegu, who was able to have as many as two of his tanks awarded as “tank of the month”. We’re also proud to have Andrea as the centerpiece of our italian-pizza-and-aquarium-lovers group “MagnaRomagna“.
Andrea’s tank was tailored in order to fit into his home environment and is based on a custom Elos tank (125x70x55) entirely made in extra clear glass 15 mm thick. The tank’s gross capacity is 480 liters, which is also the system’s overall capacity, also considering sump volumes.

How to take a picture of your aquarium: photography course part I
During my visit to the eighth edition of Salento Aquarium, a show in Italy, I did a lesson on a subject that I really like “Aquarium, how to take pictures“, and are therefore here, as promised, to propose a mini-course as a guideline how to photograph in the aquarium, getting the best with our equipment, obviously the course is open to all, since most of what is written applies to any photographic genre, even though the examples will focus on the photographs in the aquarium. I hope that the course will be useful and that you enjoy reading it, and if you have any requests please leave your comments. This is the first part that covers the basics of photography, the choice of lenses and the setting of the camera, the second part will address specifically the photographs in the aquarium, going into the details of how to photograph aquariums, fish and corals , and the last part will cover instead the development of the digital negative, the RAW file.… More:
