毫无疑问，珊瑚水族馆的爱好是过去的一个相当成熟的时代，经验和精致几十年。经过二十年的密集文化，我们几乎可以在世界上所有发达国家中获得各种各样的圈养珊瑚碎片，但我们觉得有些东西已经缺少了一段时间。
The harm and dangers of coral pests are well known and a significant market exists for coral dips, aiptasia and majano anemone eradicators and there’s nothing worse than a reef tank with healthy corals that are suffering from preventable pests. So tell us why after nearly two generations of reef keeping, and more coral farmers than ever before, do we not expect neighdemandthat captive grown corals be pest free?
Fish vendors who sell unhealthy or sick fish get flamed and put on blast, dragged through the coals if they sell sick fish to anyone but somehow the same accountability is not expected of coral and frag vendors. It takes a很多of effort to personally dip, clean and inspect every coral we get and we typically resort to simply removing the base they come on but just one tainted coral can easily undoyears珊瑚生长！
我们一直思考这个即时通讯balance between the hobby’s expectations of fish health and coral health for some time but the idea was crystallized when we came across the first instance of a coral vendor offering a “100% Pest Free Guarantee” of their corals. Leo Den Breejen has been a respected stony coral reef builder for sometime with hit reef displays like the Formosa Forest but more recently he has been offering coral frags to the European aquarium market.
While most coral vendors offer many different kinds of guarantees, ‘arrive alive’, ‘satisfaction’, ‘certified captive grown’, as far as we can tell伦纳多的礁石实验室是第一个提供无害虫保证的人。您可能会认为，利奥的礁石实验室的这种保证值得对潜在买家溢价，但是他的珊瑚碎片是如此负担得起，与美国价格相比，它们实际上是零花钱的变化。
Think about it; you’ve spent thousands of dollars to set up your reef tank, carefully cycled the ecology of the microbes, battled through the successions of algaes and now you’re ready for the main event, corals. Is it fair that whether you buy cheap or expensive corals, from any number of reputable suppliers, the onus is still onyouto dip, inspect and quarantine the corals and frags?
公平地说，应将新鲜进口的野生珊瑚保持在卫生标准的较低水平，而不是在水族馆培养物中数十年的珊瑚片段。但是，如果您在珊瑚碎片上花费溢价 - 我们所有人都看到了过去一年的平流层标签价格 - 真的是一个低的酒吧，希望有500美元的Acro Stick成为保证free of flatworms, nudis, red bugs,矮胖和Aiptasia?
我们很少提出本文中的问题，因为我们的思想已经弥补了。我们已经认为，任何圈养的珊瑚都应该是无害虫的，而不是将雄鹿降低给客户浸入，检查和隔离自己的珊瑚。Nothing will change until more reefers expect and demand coral vendors to completely eradicate pests and parasites from the corals they sell, and hold them accountable, so we commend Leonardo’s Reef Lab for being the first to offer a Pest Free Guarantee, hopefully more companies will follow suit.
