油底壳是盐水和礁石水族馆过滤的基石,近年来,业余爱好享有许多新的设计和改进。珊瑚礁章鱼水底是一系列“过滤框”系列,具有一套功能和改进,使其尽可能实用和通用。
With a handful of sizes now available, Reef Octopus reached out to us to find out if we’d be interested in trying out, testing and reviewing their largest, 36 inch model to which we quickly agreed. Naturally, we all prefer to have the biggest sump possible but since ourPro Clear 128无框坦克is a six foot tank that came with a four foot sump, in this case we were looking forward to shaving off a little bit of size.
What appeals to us about the Reef Octopus 36 inch sump is that it concentrates a lot of important functions into a smaller dimension, leaving us more room外部the sump to add some automation accessories. But before we dive into that, we want to tell you about the new gear Reef Octopus also sent along to further improve the filtration requirements of this saltwater fish tank filter.
Complimenting this fine saltwater fish sump upgrade Reef Octopus also sent along their powerful Regal 250 Super Space Saver protein skimmer, a beast of a fractionator that we’ve used for years on a 200 gallon reef system. We’ve long appreciated the smart features built into the Regal 250SSS而且非常有效,我们通常只以60%的功率运行它。舍入构建,我们还使用了Varios 8 Controllabl DC返回泵,该泵对于该水箱来说太强大了,因为它的额定值最高为每小时2700加仑!
The Reef Octopus 36″ is the company’s largest sump which includes two filter socks for mechanical pre-filtration, a protein skimmer chamber with an adjustable constant-water level area, and finally a reasonable size chamber for the return pump, we really don’t like it when these final stages are cavernous leaving lots of empty space around the pump since not much else should be in there with them anyway. Instead Reef Octopus repurposed much of that extra space into a reservoir which is故意的to be used for automatic top off, but we’re going to use it as an automatic waste collector.
This is among one of a few small functions and additions we plan to add to the Reef Octopus sump but for now, we are真的loving how much improved the sump on this fish tank has become. The prefilters do wonders for keeping the water clear and removing large wastes before they go into the protein skimmer, while the Regal 250 has plenty of heavy proteins to remove from the water.
从美学上讲,我们非常喜欢使用白色丙烯酸板和墙壁的现代污水池的新方向,从而使我们的鱼类和礁石坦克下的黑暗洞穴通常变得更加明亮。珊瑚礁章鱼36英寸的底漆可能适合120加仑的坦克,我们会很舒服地推荐它200至250加仑,具体取决于您的袜子和bioload。非常感谢Reef Octopus对我们的盐水鱼类水族馆过滤进行了重大升级,并了解更多信息并了解其其他污水池尺寸,请确保并仔细阅读该官员珊瑚礁章鱼水族馆水箱网页.
