Hello from Germany

[Teleos]

I've been reading this forum for some time. I have several aquariums myself. You could also say one or two too many. There are some gaps in my English, but I´m quite good in reading this language.
I started again 5 years ago with these water-filled glass containers. During this time I read a lot of scientific papers about aquaponics, aquaculture and sewage treatment technology. And of course endless posts in several forums.
I prefer aquariums with the simplest technology possible. Plants grow in all of them, sometimes more and sometimes a little less well. Most of the time it actually works very well. I call this whole thing "Clearwater Compost Sewage". In short CCS. 😉

Now I'll learn a little more English and then get back to this forum.

Thanks. 🙂


I can see that I'm talking too much. So here is an excerpt from one of my tanks. You can see the two real owners and above them a very tiny Ancistrus sp. mini. This tiny Ancistrus is a sister of the lower left male Ancistrus. It is an adult (!) female. I have a total of three of them. All females. The larger males don't want to breed with them. These females are simply far too small.

Hi all,

I started again 5 years ago with these water-filled glass containers. During this time I read a lot of scientific papers about aquaponics, aquaculture and sewage treatment technology.

I actually think looking at much more eutrophic systems gives you a different perspective and allows you to concentrate on the important parameters.

.... I think everyone should visit a <"sewage works">, <anaerobic digester> or <"landfill"> at least once.

<"In aquaponics"> the fundamentals are the same as a in the planted aquarium, you just have more of everything. You might be interested in this thread <"Correspondence with Dr Ryan Newton - School of Freshwater Sciences, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee">.

Cheers Darrel
