Live Rock一直是建立新的礁石坦克的骨干,但近年来,Dry Rock,开采的选择和人造替代品大多数人拥挤了我们用来称为Live Rock的礁石生命的胶囊。In normal times a new crop of fresh, real, live rock would only a be a footnote in the the reef aquarium discussion but the good stuff has become very hard to find, and we’ve very rarely had any kind of live rock coming to us straight from Australia.
With so many pseudo alternatives passing as ‘live’ because someone sprinkled a little magic bacteria dust on it, or kept it in seawater for a couple weeks, already in this write up we’ve had to emphasize the fresh and aunthentic nature of the Australian live rock currently on offer from独特的珊瑚。这些真实的礁石是为一个特定的珊瑚产卵项目采购的,现在剩余的东西可以添加到您的新礁石水族馆中。
仅通过查看它,您就可以看到附生的丰富生长,包括海绵,珊瑚藻,有些哈利梅达,而且肯定有很多多样化的Meiofauna,例如Copepods,Annelids,Mysis等,还有更多等待着殖民水族馆环境。看到澳大利亚现场摇滚的自然主义形状也提醒人们,尽管付出了很多努力,并且一些非常有创造力的工匠创造了人造的替代品,但大自然母亲仍然是最好的含水材料。
每磅二十美元,澳大利亚现场岩石并不便宜,不如我们从太平洋多年来从太平洋获得的“船岩”负担得起。但是,考虑到它的异国风情以及美国礁几乎从未获得过澳大利亚岩石的事实,$ 19.99是合理的,可以用作较小的礁石坦克中的几个展示柜,或者在既定的珊瑚礁坦克中用作两块展示柜。
