Product Information
Plankton Light Reactor, Aqua Medic.
The Plankton Light Reactor is a simple system for the production of plankton in a natural food chain. In the Plankton Light Reactor, microalgae are produced with light, fertilizer, and CO2. The microalgae can be fed directly to many filter-feeding invertebrates, and especially to zooplankton.
The growth rate of the microalgea in the Plankton Light Reactor is enormous. If the supply of light, CO2, and nutrients is continuous, the bio-mass of the algae may increase four-fold within 24 hours. Fresh and salt water species of phytoplakton can be cultivated.
Contains the Plankton Light Reactor, approximately 0.65 gallons, wall bracket, connections for air pump, lighting unit with florescent lamp (18 W), special reflector and fixing clamps.
Dimensions - total length is 32 inches and the diameter is 3.2 inches. The hose connections are 1/4 inch. Requires live Brachionous bacteria.
