问题
我是盐水水族馆的新手,并努力缠绕着所有不同的想法和术语。例如,什么是什么构成礁石坦克,而恰好包括几个无脊椎动物的唯一鱼缸?”- 由Brent M.提交
回答
如果您要求我区分20年前的这两种水族馆类型,我会有一个简单的答案。I’d tell you that a fish-only tank, as the name implies, contains only fish and possibly a few motile invertebrates while a reef aquarium (or “mini-reef,” as this type of system was known back then) puts the focus almost exclusively on corals and other sessile invertebrates, with any fish intentionally limited to small numbers and relatively diminutive species.
But since you’re asking this question in 2016, I’d have to say—and, fellow salties, correct me if I’m wrong here—that most marine aquarists don’t fit so neatly into the fish-only or reef aquarium “camps” anymore. Nowadays, the distinction seems to be blurring. While there are still hobbyists who limit their stocking schemes primarily to fish or invertebrates (and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that), I think the majority of hobbyists today fall somewhere in the middle.
但是,是否可以正式将这种混合海洋水族馆正式指定为礁石坦克,这是一个与另一个和另一个之间的明显划分线?我不相信,如果您要求10个人确定这一行,我怀疑您会得到10个不同的答案。您可能会在边缘达成协议 - 即,一个主要是鱼的水箱,例如,只有几个Zoanthid或蘑菇组殖民地殖民地可能不是礁石坦克Acropora还有其他石质珊瑚。但是,一种类型结束而另一种开始的地方是解释。
我的当前的125加仑坦克来到这里。它包含的许多无脊椎动物都是独立的戈尔贡人。除了少量的生菜珊瑚,皮革珊瑚和Zoanthids外,岩石工厂实际上并没有很多反转。另外,该坦克包含几种大小的充满活力的鱼。现在,我称其为礁石坦克,但其他人可能对此事有所不同,这当然不符合我以前对此类系统的表征。
当一切都说完之后,也许回答您的问题的最佳方法是:礁石在情人眼中。
