The advantages of Taifun spiral 5
Proper plant nutrition:
For aquatic plants it is very important to have a good level of CO2 in the water. Carbon dioxide acts as a basic nutrient for plants and thus promotes their full growth. Plants use CO2 for photosynthesis and thus produce the oxygenated water they need. They prevent the growth of algae, remove substances, provide shelter for animals and reduce pathogenic germs.
Water enriched with CO²
The CO2 passes through the transport line from the middle of the reactor and to the lower module. He achieves this as bubbles in the CO2 reactors and rides up a circular parking ramp. During the trip, the CO2 made bubbles in the aquarium water. Thus, the system provides aquatic plants with CO2 as the main nutrient.
Why the bubbles do not decompose completely?
While floating, the bubbles release CO2 into the aquarium water, but simultaneously absorb other gases, as these gases are more concentrated in the aquarium than the CO2 bubbles. As a result, the CO2 content in the bubble drops, while the gaseous oxygen content increases. At the end of its process in the CO2 reactor, the bubble has become considerably smaller, but contains as much CO2 as the surrounding water and is fully present in the aquarium water.
If the desired CO2 level cannot be reached even though the number of bubbles has been increased, the reactor can be equipped with additional modules. With the extension, you will be able to make the CO² bubbles travel longer and accelerate the CO² supply. The extension will only be restricted by the height of the aquarium.
