Chapter 778 Coral

The West African style of wildness contrasts sharply with the Japanese style of silence, while other landscaping styles are somewhere in between.

Zhang Zi An introduced the landscaping style of these fish tanks to Xiaoxue, and even the other customers who browsed at random were all fascinated.

“Is there any Chinese-style landscaping?” Xiaoxue looked over and asked, still trying.

“Unfortunately, I haven’t heard it for a while, at least I haven’t heard of it.” Zhang Zi An replied, “Japanese-style landscaping is more than forty years late than the western landscape. After catching up, catch up with the last bus. I know that in Fuso, the construction and arrangement cost of the fish tank can be counted in the housing loan, which eases the pressure on the economy. China has begun to popularize the fish tank landscape later, forming a unique style that takes time to precipitate, perhaps in the future. There will be Chinese-style landscaping in the sky.”

Xiaoxue heard some regrets, but this kind of art is hard to come by, and China is too big, and the major cities are not satisfied with each other. It is too difficult to form a unified style.

In addition to the economic factors, the aquarium landscaping is rich and have a mood to play, and the middle class in China has a small and old, often busy every day, no time to calm down, can play Most of the aquarium landscaping are pensionable old people, successful people who realize financial freedom, or enterprises and institutions.

After visiting the central display area, Zhang Zi An needs to be busy with his business.

He went to the surrounding shops to find a satisfactory aquarium supplies.

Xiaoxue followed him, she didn’t understand these things, silently watched him pick up a bottom sand and pinch it, pick up a live rock to observe the color, put it under the nose and smell it, basically don’t ask the merchant, even if asked Just ask the price.

When the merchant looks at him like this, he knows that he is an expert, and often reports the reserve price directly, saving the trouble of bargaining between the two sides.

Zhang Zi An walked up to a shop and picked up two long rod-shaped artificial stones and knocked on each other.

“What is this? Hollow brick?”

Xiaoxue noticed that the surface of these two artificial stones was covered with fine holes, which looked very light, reminding her of hollow bricks as building materials.

“No, this is a bacterium house, a filter material used to culture nitrifying bacteria.” Zhang Zi An handed one of them to her. “Most seawater tanks have this task because of live rock, no extra Adding a bacteria house, but the FOT fish tank, which is a bare tank, and the fish in the tank, is still needed. However, the bacteria house will be acidic for a long time and needs to be used with coral sand.”

After that, he greeted the shop owner: “Give me one.”

Zhang Zi An not only bought a bacterium house in this shop, but in the shop selling the bacterium house on the second floor, he stopped and bought one, put it in a different plastic bag, and marked the name of the shop with a marker.

Waiting for Xiaoxue to ask, he explained: “Bacterial house consumption is very big. If you buy it, you have to buy a hundred pounds. But this thing is not good. I will buy some samples and go back. I will smash it and look at the internal structure under the microscope. Some bacteria houses are more potholes, but there are fine holes in the surface, and the inside is solid. Which one is of good quality, I will come back to buy which one, of course, I will have a wholesale price.”

Xiaoxue did not feel a sigh.

The two turned a corner and came to the front of a shop selling corals.

When it comes to corals, corals are often confused with coral reefs and decorative corals. But in fact, corals are living creatures, while the latter two are dead corals.

The seawater tanks are roughly divided into three types, namely pure fish tanks, coral tanks, and fish and coral mixing tanks. The difficulty of feeding is gradually increasing, but the aesthetics is also gradually increasing. Most of the seawater tank players hope to have perfection. Fish and coral polyculture tank.

Therefore, Zhang Zi An needs to purchase some different kinds of corals to place in the display tank, which is more exciting than the bare pure fish tank.

This shop specializes in selling corals. The entire shop is filled with coral tanks of various sizes. Zhang Zi An took a cursory look. The types of corals are quite rich. At least the common types of corals are quite complete.

“Hey? Are these two corals?”

Xiaoxue looks at the left side and looks at the right side. The corals in the fish tanks on the left and right sides of the store are completely different. The coral on the left side is like a huge flower on the coral reef, while the coral on the right side is like a cactus.

“Well, it’s all corals, soft corals on the left and hard bone corals on the right. It’s very clear.” Zhang Zi An walked to the side of the tank and observed it through the water.

After observation, he found that the corals on the left and right sides seem to be equally divided, but in fact there are more types of soft corals on the left side, and the hard bones on the right side are filled with species.

The charm of corals lies in the colorful shapes and colors, especially the hard corals, which are like a dense coral jungle.

Xiaoxue almost put his face on the wall of the fish tank, and surprised the beauty of the coral through the glass.

The coral reef tank is completely different from the previous landscaping cylinder, because the landscaping cylinder basically uses the flora and fauna resources in fresh water, but the beauty is beautiful, but it is not as deep and mysterious as the coral tank.

There is also a female customer in the store who is picking corals. She seems to have finished reading all the corals in the store, but she still feels dissatisfied. Ask the store owner: “Boss, is there any other coral? Is that all?”

“No, only these.” The boss is looking down at the phone and replied without lifting his head.

The female customer is about 30 years old. She is a famous brand all over the body and looks more rich.

“The corals here are all farmed? Are there wild ones? It doesn’t matter if the price is expensive.” She frowned and said, “Is there any in the South China Sea?”

The boss looked up lazily and gave her a look. “No, the country is not allowed to sell, only Indonesia and Australia. Last year, there were several wild corals sold here, and many of them were taken away by law enforcement agencies. Put it back, when you come back, you close the store, and the roll is covered.”

Wild corals are better than captive corals and have a more uniform color. However, due to the danger of extinct hard corals, the country has banned the exploitation and trade of wild hard corals, especially the corals in the South China Sea. Many senior aquarium players feel deeply sorry.

The main source of coral imports today is artificially reared corals in Australia and Indonesia.

Zhang Zi An has also heard of it, but there is no way. Since the state is so stipulated, it can only be observed.
