Micro algae street lamps could absorb CO2?
File this one in the “I don’t know if I buy it” category. A French scientist, Pierre Calleja, claims to have developed a prototype algae driven street or room light that needs no external electricity, uses algae to charge it batteries and sucks CO2 from the air to help stop global climate change. While the promotional video is big on claims and short on evidence, and there are a ton of potential problems that spring quickly to mind, the idea of using algae cultures that home aquarists are used working with for more than feeding fish or growing larvae is certainly intriguing.

Interzoo 2012: Genesis, Deltec, D-D The Aquarium Solution and Sander
Upon entering Interzoo we headed towards the pavilion that brought together the largest number of aquarists stands. Upon entering hall 4A, we hit the amazing booth of Genesis.
Apart from the beautiful aquarium circular we saw, we hit the brand new filter EVO3 Titanium. Finally a great novelty in the aquarium. And after seeing him in Nuremberg, and after much reasoned over and saw how it works, and thanks to the advice of our friend Enzo, owner of one of the best marine aquarium shop in Italy Hobby Acquari, we can say that is a filter that works, and it works very well!

Editorial: the Interzoo 2012 in Nuremberg
We returned from Interzoo, we are tired but happy, and comments about the show have made their way inside us. This time we were many, a good group, each with its own individuality and each with their own ideas in mind, yet we try to analyze what has been Interzoo for us.
