French aquarium fabricators Nosy Be Imports have launched a new reef-ready aquarium called Panama. Although available in just one 40”, 110-gallon size, Panama more than makes up for the lack of models by offering a choice of cabinet color, pipework color, sump color, and even weir color. Offering every owner a unique color pallet that stretches way beyond the conventional.
储罐本身是无框的,由15毫米厚的低铁玻璃制成,并以透明的硅胶制成。基本的堰盒也是玻璃,只有它可以按照您选择的颜色覆盖,甚至堰梳和返回喷嘴都可以按照您的个人要求进行颜色编码。
谢谢3D printing每个巴拿马都配备了四个不同的插座喷嘴,用于不同的流动模式,但是快速的原型制作也允许在那些构成闭环一部分的堰梳的后部设计和制造一些非常独特的功能。
When is a closed-loop not a closed-loop?
认为闭环and you will probably envisage a tank with extra holes drilled into the base for bulkheads that attach to a pump, one acting as an inlet and one an outlet. But according to Nosy Be, their idea of a closed-loop is to have the kind of flow rate you would get from a normal magnet-mount wavemaker, but all traveling through the weir box instead.
This enables just one large pump to run both the filtration and the total tank turnover, and Nosy Be virtually built the tank around one singular main pump – a 14500lph (3830gph,)AbyzzA200-3M。
但是,大多数坦克堰都可以在四分之一到一半之间最多可容纳该流量,因此,要绕过这个巴拿马,巴拿马包括超大尺寸的14英寸x6英寸堰箱,双40mm(1½英寸)的回流和一些根据其设计师的说法,独特的可调节波防御措施构建在梳子的背面,以允许极端涌动,同时也安静地运行。他们将其泵编程为最大流速55%至80%的交替。
Alas at the time of writing the prototype tanks featured in the promotional videos are bare, even of water, so we haven’t got to see for ourselves just how well this extreme, potentially 35 times tank turnover return actually functions. Nor do we get to take a true flow test after the restriction of pipework.
The single return nozzle looks way thicker than the average, but it’s a potential fire hose too at full throttle, so we question if asand bed将以均匀的盖子覆盖。巴拿马在28英寸宽的前后,提供大量的房地产用于水上的房地产,尽管一端减少到22英寸,以允许那个巨型堰。
可移动的PVC面板
The tank itself stands on a sturdy stainless steel stand with all four PVC cladding panels being waterproof, magnet mounted, but fully removable. Inside the cabinet sits an acrylic sump in a choice of colors and a massive 25-gallon top-off reservoir. The sump is basic in design with two seven-inch socks complete with silencers, a larger area to place a protein skimmer, and an adjustable height baffle.
我们仍然想知道为什么仍然如此多的高级水族箱省略roller filters更糟糕的是,也使他们的改造有问题,但是随着如此高的流量流入排水管,除了最大的滚筒外,所有其他滚筒都只会在几秒钟内泛滥成灾,至少对于巴拿马来说,可能别无选择。
判决
看看巴拿马水族馆,威尔首先引起了人们的注意,但出于所有错误的原因。它大而笨重,尽管实用性以及您可以穿着鲜艳的色彩来打扮得这么大,而且缺乏精致和优雅。
But why would you want a white weir box, red comb and a red outlet nozzle? And what if you want the weir on the right, not the left? There’s a reason why 90% ofreef tank manufacturersopt for a black central weir, black nozzle, and black vinyl wrap. Because it disappears as much as it can into the background and a black background enhances the coral fluorescence we all so crave when our tanks are lit by blue LEDs.
我们热爱礁石设备的形式和其功能一样,但是明亮的背景和设备颜色会从鱼和珊瑚中损害,并同时显示污垢和藻类的堆积。幸运的是,巴拿马仍然可以指定一个更传统的黑匣子,梳子和喷嘴。
而且像柜子一样防水,卸下磁化面板仍然不如简单地打开橱柜门来维修撇渣器或检查恒温器,and despite the 24 cubic feet of space in the cabinet, there is no separate dry area for electricals or anywhere to display the controllers, dosers, and additives we all amass as reefers.
与其他高级金属框架相比,对于6000欧元(6770美元)和上涨的价格,这是我们希望看到的。
巴拿马承诺自意大利人喜欢以来我们从未见过的礁石设计调整Elos维特里亚(Vitrea)在10年前领先。But going by the prototypes on show in the video, some of the 3D printed parts look a little rough around the edges and the workmanship on that sump look isn’t as neat as some of the weapons-grade acrylic precision we have seen coming from elsewhere.
陪审团在那个闭环上也是如此,因为我们不确定具有改编的Durso的开放式堰是否将其视为真正的闭环。但是,尽管如此,荷斯语BE Imports在其新的水族馆模型上提供了为期五年的无条件保修,我们从不真正想说永远不要说,直到我们看到一个人是一个成熟的珊瑚礁坦克,我们自己为自己。
