The tube and flange design of the device serves to isolate the algae from atmospheric CO2, effectively limiting the carbon source for the algae to that which is breathed in by the organisms in the aquarium. It is a self-regulating device that eliminates the accumulation of organic carbon (yellowing of the water). The ARID is analogous to a lung for the aquarium, supersaturating the aquarium with the oxygen created by the algae as they breathe while removing excess CO2. Pax Bellum recommends running the ARID on a "daylight reversal" cycle (i.e. opposite of the display tank), which balances the the natural day/night pH swing that occurs, and to maintain high levels of dissolved oxygen throughout the night when the display aquarium lights are off and photosynthesis has ceased.
Features :
- System size: 150-450 L aquariums
- Body Material: Cast Acrylic with Tyvek cover (to keep light inside) • Overall Height: 16.5"
- Recommended flow: 550 to 750 L per hour
- Total Footprint: 6.5"
- Hose inlet/outlet: ½" FNPT hose (hose and pump not included)
- LED consumption: Standard 110v / 14 Wattso The supplied power supply can support an input voltage of 220 V using a simple adapter cord to be plugged into the wall socket, mainly for use in Europe.
Recommended dose:
Nitrate and molybdenum 1ml per 100L increases Nitrates by 0.5ppm
Meet as needed to maintain an NO3:PO4 ratio of approx. 100:1
Can be placed in the slop if the top power supply is kept above water. It is highly water resistant, but submersion is not recommended. As with any electrical device, be careful and always unplug it when working in the settling area.
