The Flagship reef tank is an aquarium display we’ve been working with at the Reef Builders Studio for a little over three years and lately this tank has really been turning up. Being a six foot long peninsula style aquarium it really feels like there’s two sides of a layout to try and balance out and speaking frankly, the most challenging part of this aquarium has been trying to balance out the coral placement and the strength of the layout of this aquarium from all sides and angles.
We’re not yet 100% satisfied with where the overall coral population is at, no reefer is ever truly content, but at least it’s really headed in the right direction. We’d chalk up the progress of this reef tank to two main factors with the first one being keeping the reef tank equipment super simple, just to cover all the fundamentals of reef keeping.
使该坦克超级精简的一件事是，它使用所有Ecotech Marine产品用于核心功能，例如Vectra返回泵，反之亦然的给药泵，Vortech MP60流动泵和Radion Gen 4 Pros，因此一切都可以访问betway体育客户端官方下载在莫比乌斯。坦克上唯一的其他设备是Maxspect Aeraqua Duo，用于撇撇作，Avast Marine K1 K1 Kalkwasser反应堆（由另一个Versa提供淡水），一个Johnlen加热器，以及我们真正想添加到水族馆的唯一其他设备是自动过滤器卷。
Not having sand or too many fish or too much really helps keep the nutrients low, so low in fact that the other major improvement to the Flagship reef is that we’ve been adding phosphates once or twice a week to keep the value from bottoming out at 0.00ppm for more than a few days. This is a really different approach to maintaining nutrients at the Reef Builders Studio as we don’t try to hold a target value, but instead think of PO4 dosing like a kind of feeding – you don’t try and maintain a set value for food for your fish, you feed them and then there’s no more and then you feed them again.
We cover a lot more details in our latest video showcase so be sure and give it a watch as it’s a very healthy reef tank with lots of eye candy and larger colonies with popping colors under daylight spectrum, no artificially dark blue tank or orange filters but if this video cracks 2000 likes we’ll feature it under more ‘flattering’ lighting.
