The Reef Tank

A reef tank is an aquarium designed to mimic the natural environment of coral reefs. It typically contains live corals, colorful fish, and various marine invertebrates, all kept in a carefully controlled aquatic environment. The setup involves managing water quality, temperature, lighting, and flow to support the delicate ecosystems. Reef tanks require attention to detail and maintenance to ensure the health of the inhabitants, often using specialized equipment like protein skimmers and LED lighting. They offer a stunning display of marine biodiversity while serving as a miniature, self-sustaining ocean habitat.
