Phytoplankton reactor (with light), Aquamedic

The plankton light reactor II has a volume of approximately 5 l. A simple system to produce plankton in the natural food chain. Inside plankton light reactor II, microalgae are grown using light, fertilizers and the carbon dioxide content of the air. These can directly feed many filter-feeding invertebrates, or be used to raise zooplankton. The integrated 10W LED light provides enough light to promote a good breeding rate. If the nutrient content is sufficient, the mass of the algae can quadruple in 24 hours. The plankton light reactor II is equipped with two connections for the simultaneous supply of air and CO2. If there is a high demand for plankton, the CO2 content can be increased by controlling the pH. On the lid there is a holder for a pH probe. With, however, normal needs, no additional CO2 is required.

To facilitate partial removal of plankton, there is a hose with dosing clamp and holder in the housing lid.

Saltwater or freshwater algae, phytoplankton and zooplankton can be grown. For ventilation, we recommend our Mistral 100 air pump or larger ones.
