Tyler akaInland_Reef在Instagram上设置了这个42克沿海泻湖Gorgoniantank and you know we just had to learn more.Gorgonians are truly an under-appreciated coral, and it takes a skilled aquarist to make these somewhat dull corals shine.
Tyler started out keeping a smaller 3gallon mangrove reef tank inspired by朱利安·斯普伦（Julian Sprung）的半岛坦克which led him to start taking a closer look atGorgoniancorals. While we can’t speak for Julian, we’d be willing to bet this head-turning coastal lagoon will pique his interest.
Tyler writes “About a year and a half ago, I started seeingGorgonian珊瑚在当地的鱼类商店中出现，我开始收集（更像是ho积），至少是光合作用的。在我的蓝光下，他们在我的礁石坦克中看起来很棒，但是他们并没有真正得到所需的爱。因此，沿海泻湖诞生了！”
除了Gorgonians，泰勒斯还增加了一个鳄鱼蛤，他说，在全光谱照明下确实很好地炫耀了它们的颜色。我们还发现坦克中的红色手指，红色球，橙色的球海绵和某些殖民地的剪裁，可能是botryllus pundication。
这个坦克的另一个特征确实引起了我们的注意concrete stand. The stand, built by SR Aquaristik, is made from a revolutionary GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) that is extremely strong, but still lightweight.
The filtration system for this tank is a XP Aqua Flexi Surface Skimmer & Media Reactor w/ filter floss & carbon, no sump, and a Micro ATO to maintain water levels.
We absolutely love this simple yet elegant reef that pays homage to a natural Caribbean lagoon. Strap on a mask and snorkel and you could easily forget you’re at home and quickly be transported to the reef.
