In our latest video we showed off the new incarnation of ourMode retail rack systemwhich has been an integral part of the Reef Builders Studio for several years now. The multitiered aquarium system was initially purposed as a dedicated fish quarantine system and it served us well in conditioning dozens of different fish for the dozen reef aquarium displays at the Studio.
但是,在2021年的大部分时间里,我们都大部分时间都经历了休养后,我们意识到我们的需求已经改变,因此需要隔离鱼类,因为我们有足够的时间,并决定将整个系统重新利用,以作为持有我们的海葵收集的系统。至少这是意图,尽管我们专门献上一排来握住泡泡尖,地毯,里特里和披萨海葵,但其他层次开始从其他一些坦克中捕捉到溢出。
The middle tier came to house a wide range of LPS corals with a special emphasis on the corals formerly known as Australomussa, several叶叶s, and an assortment ofMicromussacolonies including the smaller polyped species. Meanwhile the bottom level which is split was fleshed out to hold a variety of Echinophyllia which we affectionately call the ‘Chalice Palace’ and the other side is packed withDiscosoma, Ricordea和Rhodactiswhich now goes by the name of ‘Shroom Room’.
The entire Anemone System is powered by a Vectra L1 for both the circulation and water flow, the mechanical filtration is provided by a ClariSea Gen2 filter roll and a Tunze DOC 9410 DC Skimmer packs a lot of power in a very short body to actually fit inside the low profile sump. Meanwhile the lighting is provided by a real hodgepodge of strip lights and fixtures including the stock LEDs of the Mode rack, the Aquamaxx NemoLight, as well as ReefBrite, NicoBar and Illumagic strips.
