Check it out and share your comments and questions in Stoney Water's featured reef profile thread. [/eng] 恭喜Stoney Waters成为7月的每月一缸,他的160L微缸有着极为专业的设计,下面是缸的两年历程，同时分享他的经验，可以到这里和作者一起讨论 [eng] I would like to say how honored I am to be featured in this months reef profile. I feel truly humbled to be in the same company as the great tanks that came before. I would also like to issue a special thanks to Chris and Nano-Reef for giving me this opportunity. I am certain that this tank would never come to be what it is today, if not for all the wonderful people and wealth of information this site has to offer. [/eng] 我要谢谢每一个朋友，比起之前获奖的缸，我还有许多要学习的地方，同时特别要感谢Chris和nano-reef网站给我的这个机会,如果没有Nano-reef的鱼友分享,永远都没有今天可以在这里Show我的缸 2007 11月 2008 1月 2008 7月 [eng] Display: AGA 40 gallon breeder 36" L x 18" W x 16" H Lighting: Custom built pendant on sliding track system. 2 x 150w Reeflux MH, fan cooled.

I try to keep my maintenance routine simple and on schedule. I clean the glass daily and perform a 5 gallon water change weekly. I use filter socks so I switch them out when they become clogged, usually every five to seven days. Specific parameters are tested at the time of water changes. Top offs are performed via an ATO.

我尽量有规律的进行维护, 我每天都擦一下玻璃，每周换20L的水，我用丝袜过滤，每当差不多堵的时候，我就换一只，大约是5到7天的样子。一般在换水的时候会测试各种指标，补水通过自动滴定

[eng]

Feeding

Fish are fed soft pellets daily and corals and inverts are fed a soupy mixture of DT's, cyclops, brine, and Prime reef every two or three days.

[/eng]

喂食

鱼每天喂饲料，珊瑚两到三天喂DT珊瑚粮,丰年虾，糠虾，PrimeReef珊瑚粮,

As I remember the thought process of this tank began in the fall of 2005. After finishing my 12g Nano-Cube and becoming quite bored, I began contemplating an upgrade. I wanted a system that was not too large, but also not so small that I might lose interest after a short time. Not long after I stumbled across a 40 g breeder at a LFS and realized this was the perfect tank.

[/eng]

我记得在2005秋天开始玩，当我的48L微缸撒掉以后，我感觉很不爽，我开始认真考虑升级，我想要一个不大不小的缸，因为太小，过一段时间，很容易会让我失去兴趣.直到我在鱼街上偶然看到160L的成品缸，这就是我的梦想之缸

[eng]

The dimensions were right, it could be drilled, and it fit perfectly in my vision of the ultimate small reef aquarium. Over the next twelve months I went over in my mind a thousand different scenarios of how this system should be built. It wasn't until I ran across a $20 halogen shop light at Lowes that everything clicked and fell into place. I brought the light home and began transforming it into a metal halide pendant. It was about this time that I started my thread "The Stoney Waters Experience" where the rest of the story is well documented. By October of '07 most of the system was complete and salt water was added. After a lengthy cycle, corals were added and the evolution began and continues to this day

[/eng]

尺寸刚刚好，而且可以钻洞，在后来的12个月，我心里面有上千个方案是关于如何开缸的，直到我花了20美金买了灯.我还买了反光罩的材料，开始DIY卤素灯灯罩，"The Stoney Waters Experience" 这里可以看到整个过程，07 十月，终于开缸了，在一段很长的时间里面，随着系统成熟，添加生物，就成了现在这般景像

Once again, I thank Christopher Marks for giving me this opportunity to showcase my tank. This site he maintains is hands down the best source of information, insight, and wisdom on the internet. Special thanks to all the NR members, the knowledge they provide is endless. I'd also like to thank my wife for not putting her foot through the tank, and to my kids for keeping the questions coming. They make it all worth while.

Thanks to all,

[/eng]

再一次感谢Christopher Marks给我的这个机会，这个网站有着最好的信息和资源，还有许多鱼友，特别谢谢Nano-reef上面的会员，我还要谢谢我妻子没有干涉我这个爱好，还有要谢谢我的孩子提出的问题，他们让我觉得这个缸很物有所值
