It came as quite a surprise to many when Ecotech Marine announced the release of a珊瑚Propagation Kit. While the Coral Propagation Kit is quite a deviation from Ecotech’s core group of products, they brought their own flavor of refinement and attention to detail to almost every part of this ensemble of fragging tools, quick-setting glue and some unique frag plugs.
Ecotech的珊瑚繁殖套件中包含的四个钢制工具包括珊瑚切割机,剪刀,镊子和镊子。我们对镊子和剪刀并不感到兴奋,德国钢制剪刀可能会保持敏锐,镊子也会抵抗翘曲,但这是我们真正挖掘的其他两个工具。
Ecotech珊瑚切割机更大,具有比我们以前使用过的任何切割机更大的尖端边缘,它应该穿过一些活岩(例如黄油)。镊子也非常酷,很好且大,带有宽阔的抓地力,这应该使操纵柔软的珊瑚插条变得更加混乱。您不讨厌手上拿皮革珊瑚粘液吗?好!
我们已经非常熟悉Ecotech元素珊瑚胶,其快速设置和Uber粘性性质,但是整洁的珊瑚插头确实引起了我们的注意。这些六角形珊瑚塞的四个腿部底座使它们跨越了蛋箱的角落,在放置在鸡蛋上时,可以防止移动或旋转。这些插头不好的一件事是粘在礁石的孔中,但是您应该能够用大的珊瑚切碎机切断腿,然后将其粘合到位。
像Ecotech元素之前的珊瑚胶一样,启动的珊瑚碎片以珊瑚繁殖套件的99美元价格打击,其中一位评论者甚至注意到该工具包对于此类工具来说是“ 98美元的$ 98”。从扶手椅的舒适度中,这是一个非常不合理的评估,因为所有真正的练习礁都知道,您得到了您所支付的费用,尤其是在礁石的爱好中。
珊瑚繁殖套件的一部分可能会更多地关注实用性。珊瑚繁殖套件的木制盒子并不是完全邀请您将其带入鱼房的地牢中,并将其与珊瑚粘液,活岩,碎石,更多的粘液和盐水混合。
Also, having all the precious tools carefully put away into their protective case is not encouraging you to have the tools out and in reach when you need them. We keep our tools out and in sight so that we can reach for any one of them with crusty-reef hands without having to fumble with a case.
We would have preferred a case which made the frag plugs, glue and tools available at a quick-draw moment’s notice, but as far as the whole cost of the kit is concerned, the case, glue and coral plugs are basically thrown in as extras. The best news here is that in a short while, Ecotech Marine will make available each of the tools and the coral plugs separately so the armchair commenters can see exactly how much German steel tools cost on their own.
