Phytoplankton Reactor
1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the Pacific Sun Phytoplankton reactor.
With the purchase of this unit, you have selected a top quality product. It has been
specifically designed for aquaristic purposes and has been tested by experts. For the best
results, please read through this instruction manual before installing the reactor on your
system.
The Phytoplankton reactor is a simple system for producing plankton in a natural food
chain. Within the plankton light reactor, micro-algae are produced with light, fertilizer,
and CO2. 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
may increase four-fold within 24 hours. Both fresh- and saltwater species of phytoplankton
can be cultivated.
During or after installation, please do not hesitate to contact our technical support team
at
[email protected] if you have any questions about your new Plankton reactor.
