Adding corals to a new reef tank is arguably one of the most fun and exciting parts of setting up a reef aquarium. Seeing how the corals look inyour坦克和找到完美的place for them in the aquascape, plus watching them open up and settle in over the next few days is incredibly rewarding.
We’re into the fourth installment of ourHow to Reef Aquarium video seriesand now that we’ve got everything running, it’s time for us to add corals to this deserving little reef tank. As we have emphasized in the previous three videos, it’s paramount to master the fundamentals like temperature and salinity, using good starting water and seawater mix.
Normally new reefers are advised and encouraged to take their tie setting up the reef tank and adding livestock, but far too many either don’t do this at all, or take it way too far by ‘cycling’ with no animals for months on end. Provided your salinity and temperature are correct, coupled with adequate water flow and lighting conditions, you can add some corals almost immediately to a new reef aquarium.
在经历了一场艰苦的马拉松礁坦克制造和视频拍摄之后，我们终于到达了这个水族馆的一部分，在那里我们添加了一些漂亮，耐寒，初学者的珊瑚。柔软的珊瑚，Euphyllia和小型开放式大脑和LPS珊瑚是任何新礁罐的最佳候选者之一，尽管Zoanthids和某些类型的息肉也很合适。
It is well beyond time that someone dispelled the notion that you need to ‘cycle’ an aquarium before adding corals, but this is simply not true if we’re talking about the Nitrogen cycle. In our next and final video of the tank setup series we dive deeper into what it means to ‘cycle an aquarium’ so if you don’t want to miss it, be sure and subscribe to the fast-growing and very prolificReef Builders Youtube channel.
