Et saltvannsakvarium kan være en givende og fascinerende hobby. Samlere innser snart at økosystemet de har skapt er så komplisert og variert som havet selv. I søken etter å reproduksjon et naturlig miljø, kan det være nødvendig å skape mikro-miljøer for sarte eller sky arter. For et saltvannsakvarium, er et refugium den ideelle løsningen. Things You'll Need Instructions Prepare your main tank for the addition of the refugium. You may need a larger or more secure stand to accommodate the extra size and weight. Place the 10-gallon aquarium stand adjacent to the main aquarium. The 10-gallon aquarium should sit flush against the other aquarium with the tops of both being even. If you feel the refugium needs to be more secure, affix it to the main aquarium with the silicone sealer. However, this makes it a permanent fixture, so consider how you will manage cleaning and maintenance carefully before you decide on this option. Install the sump pump according to the manufacturer's directions. The water should come from well below the surface to provide the best quality water for the refugium. Water from the surface of the main tank will have less oxygen and more contaminants. The temperature from deeper water will be optimum as well. Place the sand and rocks into the refugium, creating hiding places for the fish. Place the light and cover on top of the refugium. If you have jumping fish in the refugium, make sure the cover is tightly sealed.
Et refugium er et mindre akvarium tilknyttet hovedakvariet som deler en vannkilde og forhold, men holder utvalgte arter unna rovdyr i et beskyttet miljø. Du kan bygge ditt eget refugium av et 10-gallons akvarium.
