This reef system was set up as the main display in my store Greenwich Aquaria. The original philosophy behind the tank was to keep it very simple. I’m not much of a gadget person, so I didn’t want any controllers or reactors etc.
The concept behind the rockwork (in my opinion, the single most important factor in determining the aesthetic of an aquarium) was to create several coral bommies, which allows for interesting and more natural coral placement, and consequently more natural growth. I also wanted garden eels, hence the deep sand bed.

这个珊瑚缸就在我的威林威治水族店里面，设缸的方向主要是少用复杂的方法和器材，一切从简。我是不一个喜欢捣弄器材的人，所以我不想用一堆的控制器和反应器
造景的理念是营造出一个多种珊瑚并存生成的水景，就像海里的珊瑚水域，并且让珊瑚自然而然的附在石头上，让珊瑚展示出生机勃勃的样子，此外我还喜欢饲养海鳗，所以我用了厚底沙层

Aquarium:
The tank is a custom build by Aquarium Designs and is made of 1 1/4” thick acrylic. The dimensions are 6’6” x 48” x 36”
tall with a total volume of 580 g. External overflows are built into either side.
Circulation:
The return pumps, are 2 Blueline 100’s plumbed into the sump in the basement below the tank. There is also a Blueline 100 on a closed loop
All returns run through a total of 6 Wavy Seas Wavemakers.
Filtration:
Skimming is provided by a Precision Marine Bullet XL3 run by a Sequence Hammerhead. For chemical filtration I run Pura Complete in a Precision Marine media reactor and once a month I put carbon in one of the micron socks for a day.

I also dose Elos Omega amino acids and once in a while I’ll dose iodine, and once every two months or so, I’ll do a water change with Tropic Marin salt-- No real theory behind that one, I just have a feeling that it’s beneficial.
The above is able to reliably maintain the water chemistry at the following levels:
- SG 1.027-1.028
- PO4 around 0.01 ppm
- NO3 around 5 ppm
- Calcium around 450 ppm
- Alkalinity around 9 dKH

Inhabitants:
The animals in this system are numerous and varied but SPS corals like Acropora species (about 50), Montipora and the like predominate. There are a few assorted LPS corals including Gonipora, Echinophyllia, and various Corallimorphs, Clavularia, and Zoanthids though these are rather limited due to the culinary inclinations of a regal angel (Pygoplites diacanthus) and multibanded angel (Paracentropyge multifasciata).
[/eng]
生物
这个系统的生物大多了，不同品种的SPS约有50多个，角珊瑚和瓦片为主, 还有各种LPS,如宝石花, 瓦片脑,菇菇, 星花草皮,纽扣,
[eng]
The fish population is a somewhat eclectic mix. In addition to the aforementioned angels, there is a large clown tang (Acanthurus lineatus), a coradion butterfly (Coradion chrysozonus) and a marginalis butterfly (Chelmon marginalis), a pair of Harlequin filefish (Oxymonacanthus longirostris), around 20 garden eels (Taenioconger hassi), different pipefish (Corythoichthys haematopterus, Doryrhamphus janssi, Dunckerocampus pessuliferus), clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion perideraion), and a variety of anthias, cardinalfishes and assorted blennies and gobies.

缸里的鱼是大混养，除了之前提到的天使，波纹吊，火箭，尖吻鲀, 花园鳗, 尖嘴鱼(蛇仔鱼),小丑，宝石, 巴厘天使，古B,青蛙
[eng]
Perhaps my favorite inhabitant is my gloriously healthy Heteractis magnifica anemone a gift from my friend Joe Peck whose own specimen split affording me the opportunity to try my hand at keeping this fantastic animal.

我最喜欢的生物是公主海葵，是我朋友Joe Peck剪开分给我的，谢谢他给我这么一个机会能让我饲养这么迷人的生物
