如果您将任何种类的水族馆保持足够长的时间，您将不可避免地会遇到将孤儿牲畜束缚在捏中的需求。A couple fish or a few corals can usually fit into existing setups but if you have a tank leak, break or if you’re planning to move or replace the tank for a larger one you’ll have to come up with a way to hold the majority of the setup in temporary holding, sometimes without much planning or warning.
We recently found ourselves in this precise predicament when during a tank move the15 year old acrylic stand gave out只是坐在寒冷中，它扔了一把扳手进入我们的计划，以便在几个小时前完全重建坦克。值得庆幸的是，水族馆的业余爱好有很多先前的经验，可以将完整的油箱装置转移到大型游泳池和浴缸中，而农业水槽对于此应用程序特别受欢迎。
从50到300加仑的尺寸不等，这些大的灰色模压槽很普遍，非常耐用，并且通常具有非常宽的占地面积，可为Reeefers提供一个大的表面积，可以放置许多流离失所的水族馆牲畜。将大量鱼，珊瑚和活岩重新搬迁到其中一个槽（或任何合适的大型水箱）比在一天的岩石中建立一个新的水箱更容易是the biological filtration and you only have to ensure that all the usual functions of an aquarium are being satisfied.
Number one is aeration, a tank full of critters will endure most other environmental swings as long as there’s plenty of aeration and oxygenation to the water, and to help the corals and rock ‘breathe’ properly a small powerhead will provide the required water flow. The second most important detail is to make sure and use a heater to maintain proper temperature which is even more important during cooler weather such as what we’re currently experiencing in Colorado.
蛋白质撇渣器是可选的，具体取决于您打算在临时坦克中塞满多少牲畜，以及您打算将它们保留在无常区域中的时间，即使是小撇渣器也足够短的时间。最后，我们始终将一些SEACHEM弹药警报保留在我们的工具箱中，因为这种小型化学敏感的条形即使在达到临界水平之前也可以通知您的任何峰值，尽管在干扰和重新安置完整的水族馆设置后，预计会有很小的上升。
It won’t hurt to boost your bacteria population with a pre-made colonizing solution, we’ve used Brightwell Aquatics Fast Start XLM在the past and added a small amount以防万一and finally, definitely be stingy with your feedings of the fish and corals while they are in their transient digs and aren’t afforded the level of filtration of a fully fledged aquarium. We know that this is kind of a niche topic in the aquarium hobby which doesn’t get much discussion but it can be critical to know how to do this kind of temporary setup in the event of a tank or stand failure.
