StinkSink is an all-American-made product aimed at reducing the smell from the skimmate collected in protein skimmer cups. The use of carbon for odor control is not new. It’s used exactly in that application both for the home and in industry, and has long been recommended to soak up smells from我们的撇渣器。然而,臭味的好处是,现在有一种有形的,可购买的产品是专门制造的,可以解决撇油器的气味,而且一次不是3D打印!
什么是臭味?
Stinksink本质上是一种蹲下的,充满碳纤维的圆柱体容器,可与蛋白质撇渣器盖直径匹配并过滤脱水器排气中的气味。It’s made from acrylic and polycarbonate and sits on a cell foam O ring which both raises it up and seals off the air leaving the skimmer lid, ensuring it is passed through a thick layer of coarse coconut carbon before being released into the cabinet, and the room.
stinksink经过定制设计,可适应十几个流行的撇渣器品牌,其型号,直径和通风孔图案不同,并且已经将其置于产品中,因为它们甚至可以合适skimmer models with float valves mounted in the lid。对齐引脚可防止意外敲击容器,并且通过其自身可移动的盖子直接替换碳。Stinksink的制造商Reefeco表示,碳应持续6-12个月,尽管最终将由经过的空气数量决定。
Good skimmate stinks, and although we don’t personally feel we have an odor problem, it takes someone else to notice it and politely say. Some people are just more sensitive to fishy smells than others.
臭氧
但是,礁石制造商团队指出的是臭味和臭氧的潜力。碳过滤器可以从空气中清除60-70%的臭氧,因此就像气味控制一样,长期以来一直建议将一袋碳放置在撇渣器盖的顶部当使用臭氧时跟他们。我们可以看到Reefeco文献中没有提及臭氧,因此也许这些材料没有完全耐臭氧,或者被忽略了。如果是这样,那么这将使这种经过深思熟虑的设备的吸引力及其对礁社区的有用性增加一倍。如果不是这样,那应该是,这将为所有注入臭氧的人都非常有价值。
StinkSink的范围从五英寸型号的$ 50不等,具有定制尺寸和设计。三杯碳的碳高达4.25美元。
