Ever since I heard about the Cubic Orbit 20 Jellyfish tank, all I could think about was jellyfish, jellyfish, jellyfish. We first came across立方轨道20水母罐去年在Interzoo上,在上周收到它时,对它进行设置并不令人兴奋。
We love the simple, yet sophisticated design which incorporates all the working parts of a Jellyfish tank into one attractive design. The Orbit 20 is a six Gallon tank and is the perfect size for a desktop, living room, or simple bedroom aquarium. If you are looking for something larger for more showy and demanding species of jellyfish, Cubic also make a larger model called the Pulse 80, which is a 23 gallon, all-in-one Jellyfish tank.
The Orbit 20’s circular shape is the ideal balance of form meets function; the Orbit 20 is designed to create aKreisel流which directs water to spin in a circular motion within the circular display and filter chambers. This approach is essential in all jellyfish tanks as it keeps the jellyfish from hitting the walls and damaging their bells.
轨道20的过滤系统包括海绵,多孔陶瓷岩石和水箱外滤室中的小泵。小型动力头泵的运行相当安静,所有组件都隐藏在可移动的磁性面板后面。过滤系统通过在顶部有机械过滤的海绵来起作用,水首先从水箱穿过海绵,并在这里停止任何较大的碎屑或食物颗粒。
The water then passes below through the rocks to further filter the water biologically, and the water is then pulled up into the pump and through the “spray bar” which creates the kreisel current in the tank. There is an adjustable red screw on the spray bar which allow you to control the flow speed within your tank.
A very unique aspect of the tank is the built-in LED lighting system. The lighting system comes with a remote control which allows you to flip through, various color modes and display settings. You can leave the tank running on any of the 15 colors including a simple white light, or you can pick one of the rotating color modes, like strobe or fade. This novel jellyfish tank concept can also double as a super awesome mood light since the casual observer will be unaware of the filter system completely hidden within.
我们很高兴设置我们的第一个水母罐,这些说明很容易遵循,并且花了不到一个小时的时间来组装。在使用Live水母的Cubic 20之前,您必须在设置后一周或更长时间将坦克的状况放置一周或更长时间,因此只有最初的坦克制造和准备时间才花了很长时间。
Once the tank is set up and running you will still have to add the saltwater and some live rock/sand to begin the bacterial culture of the of the porous ceramic rocks. You will be able to get everything you need at your local fish store, and you can check back here as we will be posting Part 2. when our tank is conditioned and ready for some jellies. [Cubic]
