Aqua Medic Plankton Reactor & Plankton Light Reactor

Plankton Light Reactor available from Swell UK with at discounted prices and Rapid Delivery

Plankton Light Reactor: Cultivation unit for Phytoplankton (Microalgae). 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, fertiliser and CO2.

The microalgae can be fed directly to many filter-feeding invertebrates, and especially Zooplankton. The growth rate of the microalgae 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 saltwater species of phytoplankton can be cultivated.

Contents: Plankton light reactor, app 2.5l volume, wall bracket, connections for air pump, light unit (18w), special reflector and fixing clamps.

Plankton Reactor: Cultivation unit for Zooplankton. Many species of Zooplankton from salt and freshwater can be cultivated in the plankton reactor. The Zooplankton is fed with microalgae from the plankton light reactor.

The zooplankton has great growth potential: under optimal algal nutrition, the number of rotifers (Branchionus) may double over 4 days.

Brachionus is the ideal food for raising many marine fish fry and invertebrates in the salt water aquarium.

Contents: Plankton reactor app 2.5l volume, wall bracket and connections for air pump.

Plankton Service: Supply of inoculums of marine phytoplankton or rotifers (Branchionus) for culture in the Aqua Medic Plankton Light Reactor and Plankton Reactor. The living cultures are sent directly to the hobbyist from Aqua Medic by special delivery which is included in the price.
