询问这个爱好中的任何人,几乎所有人都会告诉您,我从不满足的珊瑚瘾君子到悠闲的珊瑚鉴赏家。一个鲜为人知的秘密是,虽然我几乎没有将任何鱼在珊瑚水族馆里放在珊瑚水族馆中,但我确实喜欢在专用的只有鱼类的水族馆里养宠物鱼,在这里,它们的圈养需求可以像珊瑚礁坦克中的珊瑚一样进行微调。
在专用的盐水鱼缸中,可以尽可能多地喂养鱼,而不必担心过量的营养,藻类和相关问题。此外,在此坦克中,已经测试了许多不同类型的泵,最终组装了大型埃及流动形成,从本质上讲,将鱼缸变成一台用15,000加仑的水流量,在围绕围绕的洗衣机产生流量良好仪表per second!
The flow in this particular fish tank is so intense that only very few certain types of corals could even survive in it, but dang it if the fish don’t love it. The benefits of having massive water flow in a fish tank are so obvious, but almost never really emphasized. The fish stay in really great shape from constantly working out, the challenge of the water movement greatly dissipates any aggression, it makes the fish really chase down their food, and without a sandbed the wastes truly have nowhere to settle out and the filter sock does a lot of heavy lifting in exporting lots of solid wastes.
Furthermore, rather than having bioballs which are too efficient at converting wastes directly to nitrates that protein skimmers can’t really export, the real biofilter in this tank is the lace rock inside which is constantly being buffeted by tons of water flow, and more gradually doing its nitrogen cycle thing. In one instance having the biofilter and tons of flow inside the tank literally saved all the fish when I was out of town and the auto top off malfunctioned, preventing the return pump from being able to cycle the tank water through the sump.
las,经过六年多的专用鱼类水族馆后,是时候把它拆下来做一些新事物了。为了记录我设计,保存或享受的最好的鱼缸,我创建了这个简短的视频,讲述了我的宠物鱼的作品大约八分钟,其中包括当冷冻食物被夹在玻璃杯上时的疯狂。
There’s a lot of cool things about this tank that can be gleaned by watching the fish, the feeding, and the equipment. Corals may be driving our hobby and our collectoritis and the revenue of the saltwater aquarium world to a massive degree, but there’s still no coral that can create the kind of lasting and emotional connection that we aquarists can get from our pet fish.
