Tropics, but only a few species are good<br />

underwater plants. Cyperus helferi was the<br />

first Cyperus species to be used in the<br />

aquarium. This plant requires a relatively<br />

large amount of light and the addition of<br />

CO2 encourages growth.<br />

The leaves grow from the base of the<br />

Clear water, healthier fishes, and less effort on<br />

maintenance, with the Philips Tropical Water Purifier for<br />

tropical aquaria.<br />

T<br />

ropical freshwater aquaria normally<br />

require constant maintenance:uneaten<br />

food, fish droppings, and plant remains<br />

pollute the water and endanger the health of<br />

tropical fishes. But with the Philips Tropical<br />

Water Purifier for tropical aquaria all that is a<br />

thing of the past. Because this innovative<br />

piece of equipment releases very small, safe<br />

amounts of ozone into the water, waste<br />

products, bacteria, and viruses are<br />

transformed into harmless elements. In<br />

shoots. They are narrow, light green, and<br />

have smooth margins. Sometimes parts of<br />

the leaves are deformed in a zig-zag shape.<br />

In aquaria with good water movement<br />

these plants wave attractively in the<br />

current.<br />

Holger Windeløv, founder of the firm<br />

Tropica, was the first to introduce Cyperus<br />

helferi to aquarium culture.<br />

Ranong<br />

Ranong is a good place to stay in this<br />

region - the only spot within a radius of<br />

several hundred kilometers where you will<br />

find a hotel! In addition Ranong is an<br />

exciting town filled with impressions and<br />

aromas of the Orient - mysterious and<br />

wonderful. In the restaurant of the Jansons<br />

Terra Hotel we experienced the Thai<br />

version of karaoke: "Sing a song". The local<br />

musical talents took turns to try and<br />

entertain their public by singing<br />

melancholy songs of lost love.<br />

The evening was relatively cool, and we<br />

were soon hungry. The best Pad-Thai in<br />

addition the ozone limits the growth of<br />

algae.<br />

The result? Less effort on maintenance,<br />

crystal clear water, and healthier fishes for up<br />

to 150 days! The aquarium water needs to be<br />

changed only twice per year instead of a<br />

third 1/3 of the content every 3 weeks. And<br />

not only that: the device also neutralizes the<br />

toxic nitrite peak in <strong>new</strong>ly established<br />

aquaria and hence makes it possible to add<br />

Ranong can be obtained at the night-time<br />

market. At first glance the standards of<br />

hygiene might appear somewhat<br />

dangerous for delicate European<br />

stomachs, but the food is fresh and<br />

painstakingly prepared. Pad-Thai consists<br />

of roasted vegetables with noodles and<br />

expensive spices and often includes<br />

aquatic plants such as Blyxa<br />

example. (to be continued).<br />

spp., for<br />

fishes after only 3 days instead of 2 to 3<br />

weeks.<br />

So that every aquarium enthusiast can enjoy<br />

these numerous benefits, the Philips Tropical<br />

Water Purifier for tropical aquaria now comes<br />

in 5 different models – each with a venturi or<br />

aerator – for aquaria of 10 to 700 liters.<br />
