当我们第一次看到Aqueon Evolve Aquarium时，我们将其自动将其分为近来在市场上泛滥的廉价台式坦克类别。但是，一旦我们在当地的鱼类商店里拿到一个盒子里的胆量，我们对奥奎恩（Aqueon）如何发展纳米水族馆（Nano Aquarium）设法降低成本而不真正削减拐角处的方式给我们留下了深刻的印象。Aqueon Evolve可能不是一个梦想中的纳米矿山水族馆，但它具有设计精良且经过精心设计的基本需求，可以很容易地建立在创建一个非常不错的台式水族馆的基础上。
The Aqueon Evolve desktop aquarium comes in three sizes: a 2, 4 and 8 gallon model all of which come equipped with what we would generously describe as a rudimentary LED. At just $55 to $100 for the Aqueon Evolve range, these are some of the most affordable and widely available nano aquariums we’ve ever seen. The Aqueon Evolve is made of a bent plastic which makes an attractive curve at the corners but we did see a slight hazing on several tanks we pulled out. The filtration part of the Aqueon Evolve is kind of sump-like with a rear partition prefiltered with a filter pad that handles both the chemical and mechanical filtration.
过滤垫持有者has a network of ridges and bumps to provide a permanent location for biological filtration-providing bacteria to colonize. The rear-partition filter design is elegant and it allows for a considerable amount of reservoir to offset evaporation but it also cuts in to the overall volume of the Aqueon Evolve’s working size. The included plastic cover should not only decrease evaporation rate but it also serves as a nice blockade to swan-diving aquarium fish.
At such a low price we were certain that we’d see a tiny and or loud little pump running the system of the Aqueon Evolve and although we initially experienced a little rattling from the pump in the beginning, this noise went away to almost imperceptible levels, greatly aided by the suction cups that help hold it down. We’re not going to even bother taking PAR levels of the included mini LED light of the Aqueon Evolve but you know what? It’s perfect for mushroom anemones, hospital tank situations and for making a focused tank of nano gobies or some invertebrates. One thing that cheap LED lights often omit for the sake of cost is on on/off switch so we were delighted to see one in the Aqueon Evolve LED light – thoughtfully placed on the sturdy part of the tank mount with a moonlight position for the rocker switch.
快进四个月，小四加仑Aqueon为我们重要的其他股票设置而发展的水族馆设置非常出色。微薄的Little Aqueon LED灯非常适合种植低光的淡水植物，例如Jave Fern，Anubias和Cryptocoryne，但它的藻类很少，也可以使其脱离玻璃杯。但是，如果您想知道Aqueon的最好部分，那是女士喜欢的，而Aqueon的外观非常适合生活方式。Doesn’t hurt that the low cost and complete kit of the Aqueon Evolve passed the professional aquarist muster and there was no need to DIY any parts to a higher level .The only issue we’ve had so far is that the intake of the filter of the Aqueon Evolve are small enough to allow cherry shrimp to go straight into the back, but this was easily fixed by zip-tying a finer mesh grating on the filter side of the intake teeth, to keep it invisible from the viewing side.
尽管我们在Aqueon Evolve上的第一手体验基本上是来自淡水桌面体验，但请说我们的言论是坦克的内部非常坚实。我们已经设置了Aqueon的Nano Reef版本Ecoreef零样式，与AquaLigher little clip on LEDlight and a small侏儒玻璃撇油器that fits neatly into the rear chamber of the Aqueon Evolve’s filter compartment. When we say that the Aqueon Evolve is the cheapest tank we’d actually buy we mean that as a compliment since the desktop aquarium raises the bar for what it means to have an all in one aquarium.
