没有这些,我们不会运行礁石坦克!
RO单元
Filling up and maturing your tank with tap water is fine, but for topping up you need a pure source of water that will replace evaporation without making any levels build up. Get an RO unit with an additional deionizing pod and you’ll have pure water to make up saltwater for future changes and for topping up. RO units can be installed inside or outside and anywhere where there is a mains tap water feed and a drain. Buy one for home and you can make as little or as much as you want and you don’t have to drag water back from your LFS. Check the unit’s product water with a TDS meter.
Refractometer
随着折射率的引入,我们的重扎生命立即变得更加丰富。盐度非常重要,因为钙和钾之类的参数会受到混合物的咸味的影响。摆臂水平验光仪不够准确,并且although floating models can be very accurate, they aren’t quick and easy to use but are easy to break. When we are diagnosing reef tank problems the first thing we reach for is the refractometer.
Auto top-off
维持盐度对于礁石坦克至关重要,所有大小的储罐都应安装充值。它可以通过传感器或浮子阀起作用,只要您将储层保留为上,就会不必担心的一件事。
蛋白质撇油器
Although not absolutely essential, the vast majority of successful reef tanks employ protein skimmers for the role they play in nutrient export. Remove organics with aprotein skimmer在氮循环将其转换为以类似于原始珊瑚礁的营养较差的环境。
磷酸盐去除剂
去除磷酸盐,您将去除关键营养素以促进藻类生长。磷酸盐通常是通过冷冻食品中的果汁引入的,尽管以绝对零的速度降低了磷酸盐,但它的目标是与混合礁的0.04ppm水平。硝酸盐可以使硝酸盐出奇地提高而没有问题,但首先使用树脂或益生菌首先破坏磷酸盐。流化反应器中的磷酸盐树脂甚至更好。
Blade scraper
坚硬的珊瑚藻在我们的碱性礁环境中蓬勃发展,海绵还不够。用刀片用长距离刮刀武装自己,并每周至少将其小心地滑到坦克玻璃上。刮擦水箱的背面和堰箱,以完成现代,干净的外观。
滚子过滤器
Roller or fleece filters are the dishwashers of the reef tank world, doing the dirty manual work so you don’t have to. A dirty filter sock is actually worse than no mechanical filtration at all because the flow of water turns that trapped waste in a nutrient reactor, releasing it back into the aquarium in liquid form. Remove the socks, get a roller filter, set, and forget it. At least until the roll needs changing in a few months’ time.
Test kits
Don’t rely on your LFS to test your water for you as you need to know what your levels are at any one time and how they quickly they rise or fall. You’ll need one for Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Get a copper test kit for quarantining fish and if you want better accuracy at home, opt for a device like a Hanna Meter.
给药单位
一旦知道您的碱度每天下降的速度有多快,您就可以设置一个自动剂量来为您管理KH缓冲液,此后,您也可以缓冲钙,镁和跟踪元素。无论是每天服用的两个,三个或更多零件,都可以得到一个nice accurate stepper motorto dose each one automatically and one of the most important factors, parameter stability, will be maintained for you 24 hours per day.
ICP测试
如果您在珊瑚方面遇到问题,并且无法通过正常测试将手指放在珊瑚上,那么进行ICP测试。测试您的RO产品水和水箱的盐水,以对从砷到锌进行准确的分析,以及我们执行的每一个ICP,我们都会发现启发性,我们尝试下次进行修复。
