Admittedly we’ve never been big fans of microalgae turf scrubbers, preferring instead to use dynamicChaetomorphagrowth in our own signature spinning style. However there’s been a small sustained community of reefers who have employed various models to manage the nutrient levels in their reef aquariums.
We love DIY and how much the movement has carried the hobby through the decades but many of the commercially available algae turf scrubbers have been a littletooDIY。多年来,许多藻类洗涤塔只包含PVC配件,随意粘合在一起,廉价的LED在它们的侧面拍打。
考虑到这种先入之见,我们很惊讶地看到Turbo Aquaticshas been putting a lot more effort into their algae scrubbers. The housing itself appears to be custom made of molded plastic so you can clearly see the growth rate and amount of algae growth.
原发性藻类生长的筛网得到了厚实的二级砂浆筛网的称赞,以使藻类生长不仅仅是精细的微藻。对藻类活着的垫子喂入水的方插槽管被微调以均匀地分配两侧的水,并且不会以切割的PVC管道捏合。
All these features appear like they would improve the performance of the Turbo Aquatics algae scrubber on their own, but the driving force behind the algae growth is the LED light and Turbo has designed a light fixture with optimized light spectrum and LED layout. Whereas off the shelf LEDs with a horticultural spectrum usually use 460nm royal blue and 630nm red LEDs, the Turbo Aquatics LED light uses 420nm violet and 660nm deep red LEDs for more photosynthetic activation and less photosaturation of the algae.
更好的是,LED具有功率控制旋钮,因此可以将新的藻类垫子放在成熟度中,以较小的启动强度,并且随着垫子变得更厚且浓密,可以将光输出升高。调整光强度还可以帮助微调营养的实际出口速率,因此您的藻类洗涤器光不会使用户使用全部或全部操作。
上面列出的所有功能都是涡轮水上运动的高潮,将其对藻类洗涤器的方法提炼至少五年。第五次修订将于今年4月至今年5月开始使用,从L2车型开始为399美元,在Turbo Aquatics产品系列中,还有更多较大的型号。
