원래 있던 PVC 배관에서 모두 실리콘 호스 배관으로 바꾸었습니다. 왜 그 고생을 하면서 PVC로 했는지 모르겠습니다. 앞으로도 PCV 배관은 하지 않을 생각입니다. ^^


원래 배관입니다. 지저분 하긴 하나 뭔가가 있어 보이나요? ^^ 예전 옥터퍼스 스키머의 모습도 보이네요.

이랬던 섬프가 이렇게 바뀌었습니다.

새로운 먹이를 시험하기 위해서 무작정 먹이붙임이 까다롭다는 이 두녀석을 구입하였습니다.

그래서 선택한 것이 이것입니다. 3/4인치 배관재료와 흔히 살 수 있는 음료수 병뚜껑을 이용하였습니다.

이렇게 구멍을 뚫어두고 이곳에 먹이를 넣습니다. 이번에 넣을 먹이는 다음과 같습니다.

사진에서 녹이고 있는 것은 냉동 브라인 쉬림프 성체인데요. 마이시스와 반반 하거나 번갈아주면 될 것 같습니다.
가장 오른쪽에 있는 가루같은 것은 펠렛사료를 가루로 만든 것입니다. 이것을 냉동사료와 섞어서 조금이나마 맛에 길들여져 나중에 먹이붙임에 도움이 되지 않을까 싶어 넣어주고 있습니다.

구멍은 일단 6미리 드릴을 사용하여 구멍을 뚫었습니다. 가장 밑에서부터 blood worm->냉동브라인쉬림프+펠렛사료가루->건조 브라인쉬림프 순으로 넣어주었습니다. 그리고 나서 뚜껑을 닫으면 끝입니다.

It is quite popular to go to reef shows and browse the livestock that is on display specifically with corals. Most people use several bags or might even use Rubbermaid type containers to put their livestock in as they race home ready to put it in their quarantine tank. But the Coral Frag caddy takes a different approach and allows you to put more then one frag in a “coral bucket”. The best part of all this is there are multiple trays in the bucket which allow you to put a bunch of corals including different sized ones as all the holes are not the same diameter. And yes the trays all fit on top of each other inside the bucket.  The Coral Frag Caddy w/ 4 acrylic frag trays retails for only $42.18.

Do you remember that Zeomatic 2 we showed you not to long ago? To refresh your memory it  features a self cleaning system with both water and air cleaning.  Plus, you won’t need an extra air pump as the reactor includes aquabee pumps that handle the job quite nicely. Now normally you would have to  pay the retail for the Zeo Matic 2. Which for the  2.5 liter ($1,200) or 4.5 ($1,400) but until the product gets established in the market (say around 6 months or so), Fauna Marin has decided to reduce the price. For the smaller 2.5 liter model your price would be $699 and the larger (4.5 liter) your price would be $899. Not to shabby yes?

Thanks Steve!

A new type of coral frag holder has been introduced in Europe. The new coral frag holder is made out of a mixture of crushed coral rubble and then positioned together to form a frag. Like most frag holders this is also harmless to your aquarium as it is made out of 98% coral rubble and 2% epoxy resin. It will not release phosphate and silicate while giving a very natural appearance to your reef aquarium versus traditional frag holders. These are about as natural as we have seen yet. You can pick up a pack of 12 of these in Europe for around 8 euro or $11.

The Hobby branded multi box has as the product name suggest multiple uses. However one of the biggest complaints we hear is how to thaw frozen food for your tank mates. Most of us use some sort of dish in reverse osmosis water and wait for it to thaw and then pour it into the tank.  That might work well, but as many of us know, food is usually high in phosphates (fish need them to survive you know), so by dumping the thawed “juice” into the tank you are increasing your chances of having a phosphate spike. The Hobby multi box is what we like to call a professional thawing system. It has a fine mesh screen which allows you use whatever water source to thaw the food and then using the strainer system, keep the food in the box and all that left over juice out. These can be picked up for about $11.

Hobby라는 곳에서 만든 냉동 먹이를 녹이기 위한 기구입니다. 11달러나 하는군요. 영어를 간단히 번역해보자면 일반적으로 접시같은 곳에다가 RO물을 넣고 냉동먹이를 녹여서 물을 가능한 따라버리고 그다음 어항에 넣는데 그러다 보면 녹은 물이 그대로 유입되어 인산염등이 올라갈 확율이 높기 때문에 이런 기구를 사용하면 좋다. 뭐 그런겁니다. 여러분들은 어떻게 냉동먹이를 녹이십니까?
저는 아주 저렴하게 이런 것을 씁니다.
