Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor PR Series User Manual

Pacific Sun Phytoplankton Reactor PR Series

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 aquarists’ 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 service pacific-sun.EU if you have any questions about your new Plankton reactor.

 Phytoplankton Reactor – Connections and Setup

Installation – please read carefully before use
Phytoplankton is very important for marine aquarium and coral growth. To get stable growth of phytoplankton it needs proper conditions. Pacific Sun Phytoplankton reactors can provide the best available conditions for its growth of it.

Starting the Reactor
Clean reactor inside using RO water with chloramine.

Important! Do NOT use ANY alcohol, acetone, etc… to clean it as it can damage the reactor.

• Connect all tubings according to the following picture:
• Connect dosing Pump OUTPUT for fresh saltwater INPUT
• Connect Air Pump (50-100l/min) OUTPUT to INPUT tube
•  Connect dosing pump INPUT for phytoplankton water OUTPUT

Important! The Air OUTPUT valve 4 must stay always OPEN during the reactor’s normal operation. The LED tube power supply should be connected to some external timer and work hours should not exceed 10-11h per 24h.

•  Fill the reactor with fresh mixed saltwater (do NOT use water from the tank!), and NOT exceed the marked top water level.

• Start the AIR PUMP – make sure that the air bubbles are coming out from the tube (remember to leave the Air OUTPUT valve OPEN
• Turn ON the LED tube light led tube light

Maximum daily water exchange (add fresh saltwater and take out phytoplankton water) about 20-30% of the reactor volume.
In case of any reactor operations/maintenance like cleaning, adding water manually, etc… ALWAYS disconnect the LED tube led tube power supply first.
The LED LED tube, power supply plug, and LED LED tube socket are not waterproof and AVOID any water splash. The warranty will not cover damages caused by water.
