Very few tanks absolutelyneeda form a vegetative nutrient export like an algae scrubber or reactor but most tank certainly benefit from having one of some kind. Whether you’re trying to buff the pH, reduce nutrients, or outcompete nuisance algaes, a dedicated place of algae scrubbing can not only be effective, but also quite fun.
这并没有在Alfredoo Bergsma上丢失，后者建立了非常有创造力的旋转chaetomorphareactor. We’ve seen many different designs for ‘dynamic’ movingChaetomorphareactors, most notably the巨大的旋转球we spotted at the SEA Aquarium a number of years ago. Some dynamic macroalgae scrubbers use just the movement of incoming water to get the algae moving, but Mr. Bergsma took this idea one step further.
This tall, 22.5 gallon aquarium is located next to Alfredoo’s main tank and the tall dimensions of this vessel is ideally suited to create a living wheel ofChaetomorpha. In order to guarantee even and predictable motion of the Chaeto, this scrubber design includes a spinning platform or cradle which rests on two hinges, each located on opposite walls of the tank.
The entire Chaeto-cradle is moved by a dedicated powerhead, what appears to be a Tunze Nano Stream, strategically pointed to spin the entire assembly. This kind of dynamic Macroalgae holder helps to expose the living algae to variable lighting and water flow with every rotation it makes, and to a lesser degree the centrifugal force helps to eject detritus that might get stuck inside.
我们确实正在挖掘伯格斯玛先生对动态大量反应堆的创造性解释，并用旋转的摇篮可以预测一切，并且使用普通的水族馆将使收获和维持这种常规作物的营养物质出口变得非常容易。
