Flashcards
0/20
Nitrate Reactor
Reduces nitrates to nitrogen gas, helping to control algae growth and prevent toxicity.
Settling Basin
Allows gravity to settle out heavy particulates before further filtration, extending the life of mechanical filters.
pH Control System
Balances pH levels to prevent stress or harm to fish and to optimize bacterial filtration efficiency.
Oxygenation System
Supplies dissolved oxygen for fish respiration, essential for high stocking densities.
Temperature Control System
Maintains optimal water temperature for species-specific growth and metabolism rates.
Water Pump
Circulates water throughout the system, ensuring uniform water quality and temperature.
Algal Turf Scrubber
Utilizes algae's natural filtration to remove nutrients and purify water, while also producing supplemental oxygen.
Biofilter
Transforms ammonia into nitrite and then to nitrate, crucial for removing toxic waste from water.
Stocking Density
Carefully calculated fish stocking limits to ensure sufficient resource availability and to prevent overcrowding.
Emergency Backup Systems
Provides power and system support in case of failure to prevent fish loss and system crashes.
Ozone Generator
Generates ozone to oxidize organic matter and harmful chemicals, further sanitizing and clarifying the water.
CO2 Degasser
Removes excessive carbon dioxide from the water, preventing respiratory distress in fish.
Protein Skimmer
Removes organic compounds and fine particulates from the water, improving water quality and reducing nitrogenous waste.
Ammonia Remover
Actively absorbs or converts ammonia from the water, which in high levels is lethal to fish.
Mechanical Filter
Removes solid wastes like uneaten food and feces, improving water clarity and reducing disease risk.
Redox Potential
Measures oxidation-reduction potential, indicating the water's ability to break down waste products.
UV Sterilizer
Uses ultraviolet light to kill harmful microbes and pathogens, securing the health of the aquatic organisms.
Dissolved Solids Removal
Reduces the concentration of dissolved minerals and other solids to prevent toxicity and imbalances in water chemistry.
Sump Tank
Acts as a reservoir to balance water levels and house various equipment away from the main culture tank.
Feed Management
Optimizes feeding to reduce waste and increase feed conversion ratio, lowering costs and environmental impacts.
