许多中小型水族馆的塑料中心支架一直是我和许多礁石存在的祸根，因为引入了塑料框架来建造现代化的批量生产水族馆。在近二十年的时间里，塑料中心的支架通过挡住珊瑚，收集盐蠕动，防止复杂的双手岩石放置动作并进行整体吮吸，从而局限于我们的珊瑚礁风格。
多年来，我和许多其他礁石都以其他各种选择来拆除和更换可怕的塑料中心支架，但我特别喜欢我的最新解决方案，即从流体设计师那里的水族馆支架保护器。出于明显的法律原因，流体设计师无法将ABP作为坦克支架推销替换, but I sure can flaunt the results of totally voiding the warranty on my own personal aquarium.

The tank that I modified for myself using the Fluid Designers Aquarium Brace Protector is a standard four foot long 90 gallon aquarium with a single, broad plastic brace. As you can see from the image the wide opaque brace was absorbing way more than its fair share of photons from my LED lights which are meant to land on my precious corals, which made it all that much easier to cut that thing out with vengeance in my saw blade.
The best part of removing the center brace was replacing it with the ABP which really manages to be classier and stronger than what was there before, while at the same time blocking very little light from reaching the pinnacle of my reef crest. Now that the peak corals are no longer being shaded by that stupid center plastic brace, they are looking sooooo much better with all kinds of extra light coming from above and the sides.
It goes without saying that you should永远不要在家尝试这个but if you did, the Fluid Designers Aquarium Brace Protector is a good way to go. Fluid makes the ABP in a range of sizes up to 24 inches long but they are currently only made on special request. [流体设计师]
