Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor

Plankton Light Reactor (phytoplankton reactor) / Breeding unit for phytoplankton (Micro-algae).

The Phytoplankton reactor is a simple system for the production of plankton in a natural food chain. Within the plankton light reactor, microalgae are produced with light, fertilizer and CO2. The microalgae can be fed directly to many filter feeding invertebrates, 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 algae biomass can quadruple within 24 hours. Both freshwater and saltwater species of phytoplankton can be grown.

The lid of the phytoplankton reactor includes three entrances that can be used as:

• Air supply - generate natural movement of water in the reactor
• CO2(carbon dioxide) input – natural “fertilizer” for phytoplankton
• Phytoplankton Liquid Output - Connected to the dosing station can feed your aquarium with plankton every day/night
• Fresh/salt water supply – for topping up the reactor column with new water

The reactor hood has a vent that allows the reactor to "breathe". The lower part of the reactor is equipped with a specially profiled cone to facilitate the collection of ready-to-use (ripe) liquid and the removal of dead algae from the reactor chamber.

Available reactors are in three different versions:

• Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor PR 70/110 – small reactor
  Perfect for home use. Capacity: 5 litres. Dimensions: 150x190x750mm.
• Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor PR 70/150 – medium-sized reactor
  Ideal for shops/small farms. Capacity: 9.5 litres. Size: 190x220x750mm
• Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor PR 70/200 – large size reactor
  Designed for farms and shops that want to sell phytoplankton to their customers. Content: 17 litres. Dimensions: 230x280x750mm
  
  

With Reactor you can acquire about 30% volume per day.

The reactor uses a special kind of light to grow algae, set does not include aeration pump, we recommend a small pump with a capacity of 50-100l/min.

Difference Between Phytoplankton and Rotifer Reactor

The difference between the Pacific Sun Phytoplankton and Rotiferen Reactors is that the Rotiferen reactor has no lighting. Other than that, it's exactly the same.
