Twenty twenty one was a tumultuous year by any standard and it was one of the most dynamic in the reef aquarium world. The hobbyist and professional sides of reef aquariums witnessed upheavals the likes of which we’ve never seen before with disruptions to livestock and equipment, mergers and acquisitions, and a general malaise about how social media is influencing what are the aquarium hobby is supposed to be about.
While we weren’t as cooped up as 2020, the world is still not ‘open for business’ like it used to be so many of the hobbyists who started their first reef tank in the last couple of years are still enjoying them, and many reefers are also discovering that you don’t really have to wait a fraction of a year to turn a new aquarium into a reef tank. Despite many challenges and logistical shortages we still benefited from the introduction of some really exciting reef aquarium products like the new lights from Kessil and Neptune Systems, an underwater ultraviolet reef pest extinguisher from England, and a novel reversible closed loop pump from Germany.
Alas one unfortunate story that continues to make the headlines nearly every year is the dangers of exposure to palytoxin which is why we always make it a point to emphasize the risk of allowingPalythoa覆盖礁石坦克的任何部分。On the brighter side, torch corals continue to dominate reefers’ coral wishlist and as if they needed any kind of a boost, Australians have discovered a striking anemone that is identical to their precious gold torch corals until you realize that it doesn’t have a skeleton.
One thing we relish about summarizing our most popular stories of the year is seeing whatyou读者认为最重要的是 - 我们知道我们喜欢和认为是最深刻的事情，很高兴看到很多与大众见解和兴趣重叠的。2022年的新年应该看到许多新产品由于短缺而推迟了许多新产品，并且随着巴布亚新几内亚和所罗门群岛的牲畜出口开放，我们有很多新的鱼类和珊瑚betway官网推荐从世界上这些偏远地区发现。
Thank you to everyone who read and learned from Reef Builders in the last year and we’ll continue to guarantee the most up to date and thoughtful coverage of all the stories that cross our news desk.
