Ecco una breve descrizione di come il tipo del primo filmato alleva i suoi coralli:
This aquarium is not a Zeo tank, and I do not dose a thing. I feed very heavily as there are 10 fish in the aquarium (they must not have liked Jake’s video camera) which makes the nutrient export challenging. Just good husbandry performing weekly water changes with Reef Crystals salt, RK2 Skimmer, calcium reactor, phosphate reactor, and a ton of current (4- Vortech MP40 on a 4 foot 120 gallon) and plenty of light.
This Acropora spp. dominated display is a standard 120 gallon (48” x 24” x 24”) with dual overflow boxes, a large AquaMedic glass sump, and the water returns via two Marineland 5500 Maxi-Jet Utility pumps mounted externally.
The bare bottom aquarium is lit with 2- 400 watt mogul based Radium 20K’s in Ice Cap pendants that sit in the back half of the hood, and 2- 250 watt DE Aqualine Buschke 20K in AquaMedic Oceanlight pendants in the front half.
perform weekly water changes by filling up a 50 gallon barrel on wheels while the aquarium is simultaneously filling at the opposite end so the water level never changes in the aquarium or the sump. I would estimate by performing water changes using this method that I am changing 25
gallons of water per week.
This aquarium has been set up since 2004 and has been moved twice since then. With every move there is a good overhaul as you can imagine a good amount of damage can take place with some of the larger corals. Some of the Acropora have been around for years, and have been fragmented far too many times to count. There are a few ORA coral frags that are growing in, as well as some Australian Acropora that are relatively new to the display.
