The Lux Slim Flow aquarium just unveiled by Reef Octopus is probably the nicest new and unique aquarium design we’ve seen since the red Sea Reefer series. Reef and marine aquarists love their pre-drilled and reef ready aquariums, but a constant long standing concern is how much space they take away from the usable aquarium volume, and the aesthetic distraction that the bulging overflow box creates.
Coast-tocoast overflows are nice for large custom aquariums, but other than that, if you want a pre-made pre-drilled tank with an overflow box, you have to put up with the trade-offs. This is no longer the case with the Lux Slim Flow aquairum which features a continuous overflow ‘box’ that spans the entire back of the tank.
在大约一英寸厚的情况下,Lux Slim流程中的这种新的连续排水盒并不分散来自水族馆的可用体积的分散注意力。LUX SLIM流量的最佳追随者是返回出口的整合,也与后壁齐平,并将流量稍微向上引导,以阳性方式移动地表水。
Reef Octopus is showing two sizes of the Lux Slim Flow at MACNA, a 60 gallon which will sell for $999 with a beautiful glossy premium stand, and a 90 gallon for $1299. The Lux Slim Flow on display here at MACNA 2015 are the first prototypes of the new concept aquarium to be shown off, and it’ll probably be early 2016 before they are made available to purchase.
