aquascaping是一种具有远远超出美学功能的功能的艺术形式。美丽的盐水礁景开头是以正确设计的精心设计的岩石开始,以正确的方式排列,以允许最佳的循环和美学上令人愉悦的功能,例如悬垂,洞穴,平台等。
By using dry rock, modern reef aquarists create gravity-defying aquascapes before adding any water to the tank. Professional aquarists preferdry rock因为它是更便宜的船比湿住岩石, can stay outside of the water making it easier to design, and most importantly there is no risk of introducing hitchhiking aquarium pests.
Careful planning and arrangement is needed to reducing dead zones, and provide a stable place to attach and grow corals. Good aquascape design can allows room for you to manuver and clean around the glass and helps you隐藏泵和其他设备. Sarting with purpose made aquascaping rocks makes this an enjoyable artistic process.
Live Wet Rock vs Dry Rock
您可能已经听过“live rock‘, or seen a tank full of wet rocks at your local fish store. Live rocks form the basis for all living life in your aquarium, and before the popularity of dry rocks, many aquarists would use live rocks harvested from the ocean and shipped in water as the foundation of their aquarium reef scapes.
You can still buy live弄湿rocks often from your local fish store or from a friend in the reefing community, but live rocks run the risk of introducing all sorts of nasty pests like bubble algae, bristle worms, aptasia, and more into your tank.Dry rock是湿活岩的现代替代品。
Once dry rock is cured, and has gone through thebiological cycling process for new tanks, dry rock becomes live wet rock. So in terms of aquascaping, you can build with wet live rock or dry aquascaping rocks. Dry rock is just easier to work with, and lighter to ship, with a greater diversity of rock shapes.
