fresh out, salty in

A freshwater nano cube's rebirth as a nano reef.

Step 1:
I removed all the freshwater stuff and cleaned the cube

Step 2:
I cutted the undergravel plates into the right size

Step 3: I put the plates in

Step 4: I removed the freshwater energy
 saving lamp and replaced it with a marine lamp

Step 5: added the filter to the undergravel plates

Step 6: added a thin  layer of filter floss to prevent
the gravel from falling through the plates

Step 7: added used gravel from my
other marine cube to bring all the useful bacterias in

Step 8: add the rocks, used water out of
my other marine cube and macro algae

The final result with just a few soft corals.
If it runs stable I will add some more corals in a few weeks.

Yehaa! The Dennerle Food is coming soon.

Let's talk about the Guppy Food, first.
We don't wanted to make just another fishfood, we wanted to do something new, different and for sure: much better than anything else available.
So the first decision was to exclude fishmeal, because guppies will never hunt down salmons.
We also excluded all the cheap byproducts, which are just cheap fillers. Common fishfood is overloaded with stuff, which does absolutely nothing for the fish but a lot for the producing company.

So, the Dennerle food is pretty close to the natural food spectrum of our lifebearers. But that's not the whole thing. We wanted more...
So we added prebiotics and probiotics (Pediococcus acidilactici), which improves the health, longlivity and fertility noticeable. It's like "Yakult" for your fish. Last but not least we added beta glucane, which is an immunostimulant.
Also we have some good herbs in this food, which are long known for their positive effects, like garlic, melissa (which is known as natural antibiotic and antiphlogistic) and some more.
Here comes the ingredient list:

arctic krill, wheat proteine, octopus, omega-3 marine oil, gammarus, daphnia, grasshoppers, fly maggots, red algae, yeast extract, green-lipped mussel extract, artemia, artemia nauplia, moringa oleifera, chicory inulin, spinach, red bloodworms, nanochloropsis algae, herb extracts, white cabbage, spirulina platensis, melissa, garlic, chickweed, chlorella algae, fennel, anise, pollen, grape seed powder, beta glucane.

Analysis:
55% proteine, 11% fat, 3,5% raw fiber, 12% raw ash, 6,2% moisture

The food comes as soft granule and can easily be crushed between your fingers to feed younger fishes.

Well, besides all these positive arguments, do I need to say it is handmade in germany? Maybe, so: It is handmade in Germany! ;-)

 Available: octobre 2013!

I used my old Fuji this time. The old girl is awesome under difficult light and pruduces less red noise than the canon.
