Pacific Sun PR 70/100 Phytoplanktion Reactor

Micro-algae cultivation unit. The Phytoplankton reactor is a simple system for producing plankton in a natural food chain. The products of the reaction are light, fertilizer, CO2 and the micro-algae itself . The micro-algae can be fed directly to many filter-feeding invertebrates, and especially to zooplankton. The growth rate of the micro-algae in the plankton light reactor is enormous. If the supply of light, CO2 and nutrients is continuous, the biomass of the algae will be 4 times the original size within 24 hours. Both fresh- and saltwater species of micr-algae can be cultivated.

Phytoplankton reactor lid includes three inputs which can be used as :

• Air supply – generate natural movement of water inside reactor
• CO2(carbon dioxide) input – natural “fertilizer” for phytoplankton
• Phytoplankton liquid output – connected to dosing station can feed your aquarium with plankton every day/night
• Fresh/saltwater input – for refilling reactor column with new water

The reactor cap has a vent allowing the reactor to “breathe”. The lower part of the reactor is equipped with a specially profiled cone to facilitate the collection of ready (mature) liquid as well as the removal of dead algae from the reactor chamber.
