Thanks everyone or voting my tank September nTOTM!
I started in this hobby several years ago with a simple 10 gallon soft coral tank. I had been keeping tanks my whole life with my father, but this would be my first reef.
I soon transfered the contents of that tank into the 37g and it was born August 14th 2006. It started life as a doublesided setup between my kitchen and my living room, like a tank at a doctors office.

谢谢投我一票的朋友我在几年前就开始玩珊瑚缸,刚开始时,只是一个40L的软体缸.我和我老爸一齐照顾它.
这个才是属于我自己的第一个珊瑚缸
我很快就换缸了,2006 8月14号,我开了个148升的缸,隔着厨房和我的寝室,就像医院诊治室的屏风一样.

We moved into our current home this year and had to find a new spot for the tank. I was a little worried, but after I saw the planter on the mantle, I knew the tank hads its new home. The bottom of the tank is 4ft off the ground, and the top of the hood is just over 7 ft tall. This makes maintenance a little bit challenging, but the views of the system make it worth it.
I run this tank as simply as possible Berlin style. Experience has taught me that the more stuff you rely on to run the system, the more issues you set yourself up for. I run this tank with a few powerheads on a wave maker, E.S.V. B-Ionic, and a nice skimmer.

今年我搬家的时候还在想,我应该找一个合适的位置放我的缸,正当我找不到好位置的时候,我眇到了放花瓶的位置,我心里想,这就是我想要的地方, 光是柜子就有1.2米高,算上缸的高度,足有2.1米高,这样让维护变得很痛苦,但是从欣赏的角度来说,这完全是值得的
我用的是最简单不过的柏林系统,经验教训我,使用越多的方法和越复杂的器材,会越多问题发生,我只是用了几个造流,添加钙水和一个比较好的化蛋器

[eng]
I use regular Tropic Marin salt.
[/eng]
我用的是普通TM鱼盐
[eng]
I love my living room! Our friends say a TV should be there.....I disagree lol!
[/eng]
我很喜欢我的房间,我朋友说,那个鱼缸的位置应该放个电视机...晕倒,我肯定完全不同意的啰~ :-)
[eng]
My husband is 6'4" so he really like the tank up high. Plus, up high it really catches your attention. It is the centerpiece of my living room.
[/eng]
我老公有1.9米高,他喜欢缸放在和他视觉平行的地方,这样更便于观赏,这个缸又成为我们房间里的最眩的地方

My tank uses 40 ml of both components daily.
I do a 20 ml dose in the morning and at night.
I use a syringe to add the ALK slowly into current otherwise it really upsets my sps. You can just dump the CA in.
I suppose you could drip it like kalk, but I get good results with two doses.
I would go automated with a dosing system, but I dont like to trust anything that can crash my tank like ALK component to a device. Probably why I dont have an auto top off either. I have heard too many stories at the shop of people crashing tanks because of broken ATO's or dosing pumps. I dont play that.
[/eng]
我每天添加40ml钙水,20ml晚上添加,另外20ml在白天添加
我用注谢器将ALK(译者注:Part B:小苏打,提高KH)滴在缸的急流中,否则,我的珊瑚会有不良反应,当然你可以只是补钙
当然你也可以只添加石灰水,既补钙又能提升KH,但我滴两种(CA和KH),效果也不错
我真希望有一天自动滴定能代替人工添加,但我不动算用任何硬度提升反应器,这也是为什么我不用自动滴定器的原因,因为我听说过太多的翻缸故事,翻缸都是因为自动滴定系统出现问题,如滴定泵坏了,所以我不打算使用滴定泵. (译者注: 说了一大堆,还是人手添加,老外难道不怕麻烦不)
[eng]
Well, I have been working a lot and not doing much with the tank other than maintenance.......I also had a major aiptasia problem! I got some aiptasia-x and so far so good, seems to work better than kalk or joes, but only time will tell!
[/eng]
垃圾葵侵入了我的缸, 我用红海的aiptasia-x 干掉他们,比用高浓度石灰水和Joe Juice效果要好,但还是需要时间证明这个产品的好坏

[eng]
I got rid of the flower anemone and made some more room for zoanthids, I still have a few types I need like tubs blues and PPE's before my collection is complete....If that ever happens lol.
[/eng]
我将那些垃圾葵处理掉后，我就有更多的空间放我的纽扣，还想收集一些蓝色的纽扣和粉色纽扣(Purple People Eater (PPE)．如果真能收集全，那真是乐翻天了
[eng]
Sounds good and thanks for the info!! Sounds like you don't have a lot of evaporation then, correct?
Congrats again!
[/eng]
附问题:
问:你好像没有水蒸发的问题,是吗?
[eng]
I used to have a lot of evap from the 120mm fans until I got the chiller. My tank burns about a gallon every 24 hours now. Then it was using almsst 2 gallons a day!
A top off in the morning and one when I get home keeps it full. I am looking at the tank anyway durning those times.
[/eng]
答:确实会有蒸发的问题,我以前是用12厘米的风扇散热,每天要蒸发8L左右,后来我换成水冷了,一天蒸发4L
我早上会补水,下午回来也会再补一次,以保证我的缸水是总是满的, 趁着补水的时候,我也会多看几眼我的宝贝
问:这个缸很漂亮，但很可惜这不是一个Nano
[eng]
I am part of the anything under 40 gallons is a nano camp, so I guess its personal in definition. This system is sumpless so in total volume counting in the rock I am near 30 gallons. I have seen many smaller tanks that have sumps when combined surpass the volume of my system.
[/eng]
答:从我的理解来说,我觉得小于160L的缸都属于Nano,我这个缸没有底缸,除去石头,大约有120L,我之前看过许多微缸带有底缸,加起来的水量比我的微缸还要大
[eng]
Like I said, the system is sumpless, plenty of other tanks out there with smaller displays than mine, but more water volume due to the use of a sump.
[/eng]
正如我说的，这个系统没有底缸，大多数的缸展示的空间比我小，
但他们的水量比我要多，原因是他们用了底缸
