Reef tanks are aquariums that replicate the vibrant ecosystems found in coral reefs. They typically contain live corals, various fish species, and invertebrates, creating a stunning underwater environment. Maintaining a reef tank requires careful attention to water quality, lighting, and temperature, as these organisms thrive in specific conditions. Live rock, which provides natural filtration and habitat, is often used. Reef tanks can be challenging to manage due to the delicate balance of life, but they offer a captivating glimpse into marine biodiversity and beauty, making them popular among aquarium enthusiasts.
