We are coming into the last, ‘major’ installment in our how to setup a reef tank series wherein we discuss adding fish, what cycling actually means, and the short and medium term maintenance of caring for a new reef tank. We already confessed in our以前的视频将珊瑚添加到礁石箱中是our最喜欢的部分水族馆设置,但我们苏尔e that for many reef folk the tropical reef fish are the main event.
Unlike corals which have a very非常small footprint on the nutrient load of the mini reef aquarium, fish are a whole other category altogether. Being larger and more complex aquatic animals, fish have a higher metabolism and therefore need much more food, and they produce much more waste in a reef aquarium.
Youcould切勿在盐水水族馆中添加鱼,但仍然称其为礁石,而是用更高的无脊椎动物(例如螳螂虾或头足类动物)填充它,但我们相信这不是您在这里的原因。关键是,珊瑚的代谢使您可以在礁石罐中添加几个,而不会影响系统的生物负荷,但是您添加的每条鱼都需要一些食物,会添加一些废物,并且有有限的浪费您可以将鱼量添加到给定的体积中。
与珊瑚相比,注意您的迷你礁石水族馆过滤水时过滤水的能力要重要得多。因此,您真的想在将鱼添加到新的水箱中时缓慢地将其慢慢服用,更不用说要确保您拥有健康的鱼,并且您将它们添加为不会“锁定”鱼类种群的啄食顺序。
我们在20加仑的迷你礁中添加鱼的第一步是来自Sea&Reef Aquarculture的一对摩卡风暴小丑鱼。It’s actually been two weeks and we’ve since added a trio of nice, orange mollies to act both as dither fish to make the clownfish more comfortable, to eat up leftover food, and to also act as miniature surgeonfish gobbling up any undesirable algae and growth.
在这一点上,我们拥有大多数人认为健康,成功的年轻迷你礁石水族馆,从长远来看,只需要时间,关注和非常基本的维护才能继续蓬勃发展。我们要感谢所有帮助将这个迷你系列融合在一起的人,尤其是我们所有的观众观看。我们将继续更新这个礁石以及我们在不经常的时间间隔内对它做的事情,并在我们认为它们很重要的是要强调时尝试关注相关的细节,因此请确保并订阅,因此您永远不会错过另一个令人兴奋的人礁石制造商视频。
