Aqua Medic plankton light reactor II

The plankton light reactor II has a volume of approx. 5 l. A simple system for plankton production in the natural food chain. Within the Plankton Light Reactor II, microalgae are grown using light, fertilizer and the carbon dioxide content of the air. These can be fed directly to many filter feeding invertebrates or used to breed zooplankton. The integrated 10 W LED lamp provides sufficient light for a good cultivation. If the nutritional value is sufficient, the mass of the algae can quadruple in 24 hours. The plankton light reactor II is equipped with two connections for simultaneous supply of air and CO2. If plankton is in high demand, the CO2 content can be increased by pH control. The lid contains a holder for a pH probe. However, with normal requirements no additional CO2 is required.

For easy partial removal of plankton there is a hose with dosing clamp and holder on the cover of the housing. Salt or freshwater algae, phytoplankton and zooplankton can be grown. For ventilation we recommend our air pump Mistral 100 or larger types.

Technical data:

• Ø app. 150mm
• Total height: approx. 560mm incl. light
• Hose connection: 2 x 4/6 mm
• LED light app. 10 W
• incl. hose with dosing clamp
• A suitable air pump is, for example, the Mistral 100 from Aqua Medic.
