The aquarium water enriched with air (wooden air stone, injector/venturi or needle wheel) is fed into the unit at the lowest point. Since the highest pressure is in this section, gas exchange is improved. The water-air mixture rises in the reaction tube. There, the protein-containing foam column is formed.
Some of the air bubbles are forced downward through the outer tube by the water flow. At the expansion cone, the water flow slows down as a result of the larger tube diameter. Due to this principle, the air bubbles remain in the water for a particularly long time and accumulate considerably more protein and other substances.
After a long contact time, the bubbles return to the foam section. The foam rises to the top and is slowly dewatered. The solid protein foam loaded with waste material reaches the collecting cup.

Thus, waste materials are effectively and safely removed from the aquarium and the gas balance is stabilised.

* The maximum size of the aquarium is a recommendation. Actual design size depends on many factors, such as: stocking, food quantity, temperature, type of animals, additional installed technology such as biofilter, UV irradiation, ozone use and desired water quality. An exact interpretation can result in sizes that differ greatly from the recommendation. Please consult AquaCare in case of unclear cases (normal reef aquarium).
