这是BRS160 52周珊瑚礁的第8周,本周我们将讨论温度控制,重点是稳定性。我们将涵盖不同类型的加热器,解释正确的位置和演示几个不同的加热器的精度和变化。我们还将介绍温度控制器,校准的重要性,冷水机,风扇,并完成我们对BRS 160的安装。珊瑚礁水族馆和它的居民可以生存的范围相当大,通常在76到83度之间。运行高温的最大好处是提高代谢率,这可以促进珊瑚的生长,这是我们大多数人都想要的。几乎我们所有人都需要一个加热器来保持水箱内的稳定温度。即使在温暖的州,你也可能经常使用空调来冷却你的家,即使你不这样做,你也可能在冬天有一些特别凉爽的夜晚。在任何一种情况下,你的家在某些时候都足够凉爽,你可能需要一个加热器。水族行业共有四种基本类型的加热器;双金属恒温器,电子恒温器(包括外部和内部温度探头),以及无需温度控制的加热器,需要单独的外部控制器。 Cooling the tank is a little bit trickier. Maybe it’s hot in your home, you have a lot of equipment or lighting on the tank or you have very little evaporation all of which can cause the tank to overheat. The best way to keep the tank cool is to remove the offending equipment or replace it with more efficient equipment so you just don't have to be concerned with this. The next best way is to increase evaporation by making sure the surface of the water is breaking with a powerhead of some type and aiming a fan at the surface. This can be done on both the tank itself and sump. If that still doesn't do it you are going to have to consider a chiller. I honestly try and avoid chillers at all cost because they are expensive, take up a ton of room and require a lot of power which you might not have available near the tank. A chiller is more or less an air conditioner so it also adds heat to the room and can’t be cycled on and off constantly because it would be bad for the compressor. You will inherently have a larger temperature swing each time the chiller turns on and off which I also find undesirable. *Legal Stuff* The purpose and content of this video is to provide general information regarding the products and their applications as presented in the video.
