Important Notes regarding Analytical Control in the Aquarium.
Regular monitoring of the water conditions helps you to become aware of any dangers for fish and plants and to take counter measures in time (diagnosis and therapy).
Trouble-free care of fish and plants will allow the aquarist to enjoy the aquarium much more. Problems however will cause frustration and sometimes end with abandoning the aquarium hobby.
Furthermore, involvement with water analysis, gives a heightened sensitivity for the water medium and a better understanding of any reports regarding qualities of our natural waters.
Dupla offers a wide range of analysis products for this purpose.
The Dupla-Analysis System in Detail:

Description |
|---|---|
Multi Control
 |
Aquarium computer with six-way socket for control of all key parameters in freshwater and seawater aquariums using a single device. Enables pH-controlled CO2 fertilisation, while the the water temperature is regulated by a fitted temperature sensor. The socket for ground temperature management is controlled by way of the variable hysteresis to the water temperature and, due to an inverting function, allows a cooling device to be connected instead of the ground heating. Fitted with three time-controlled sockets for devices such as day/night lights, air and hydraulic pumps, or filters, which can be switched on and off up to 8 times per day. |
