Guys:
A buddy has completed his DIY project of his 450g reef. Please see the thread:

Jack:
All the return water actually are pumped from the basement. Anyway, it is a super DIY project. Right???
I am sorry about my prior recommendation on the pump for the wave maker, I wasn't aware that Taiwan do not have Maxijet pumps. Take care.

觀後感:
1.房子大就是有這個好處
2.很可惜並無設缸的步驟圖
3.有誰知道該缸是屬於何種過濾 ?
4.他的小孩可以在裡面游泳了 ......
5.有哪位英文強而且有閒的的人把那五頁討論內容翻譯一下嗎 ?

沒關係，我也蠻想弄一顆來玩玩看！

他225g的那缸用DSB (6" in main Tank with 12" in refugium) 過濾，新的應該也是吧

 

[Andrew]

有誰知道該缸是屬於何種過濾 ?
I do, Deep sand bed, refugium, live rock and a powerful ETSS 2400 skimmer. HTH!

DSB的過濾通常是用底部缸或訂做缸比較容易吧，可惜小弟的底部缸太小......
根據 Ronald L. Shimek, Ph D. 所提到
At what point,(months, years, etc) would you consider a sand bed mature?
Depending on the stability of the tank, probably after about 18 months. Many of the animals reproduce freguently, on the order of months.
But some are annuals. The bed is mature if it remains stable through a few reproductive cycles.
These cycles, by the way, feed the corals with larvae, etc. Good food. Yumm.
所以DSB真的需要耐心................

 

[Andrew]

Ron's theory is correct. However, we have many ways to seed out sand bed today. Since I represent Carib-sea, I will not going to this further.
The overall importance of the sand bed is is if the sand bed contains the needed bacteria like heterotrophic, autotrophic and chemolithotrophic for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate conversion. Most of the products you use such as the tank cycling bacteria will cause prolong nitrite cycle.
Other needed creaters could be seeded through live rock addition and culturing kit. My DSB matured within two weeks, but its full capacity occurred in 3 months.

佩服 andrew兄您兩個星期到三個月間就能使DSB運作
請問您所使用的"種砂"是買的嗎? 或是海邊採的? 或是向朋友要的?

請問您所使用的"種砂"是買的嗎?
Yes.

Woulf U share ur personal experience of seeding DSB with Carib-sea sand ? I know they have one kind of sand coating with denitrifying bacteria .
BTW, I think the maturation of DSB need one year of longer, but it is the maturation of critter animal and sand snifter, if u just need denitration bacteria, I think one month is enough
just IMHO!!
