2.1 Trickle filter modules

The water flowing down from the aquarium is divided equally to the 3 trickle

filter modules and the protein skimmer. The upper part of the modules contains

the trickle plate. The plate is covered with a lid to avoid splashing. On the trickle

plate, the water is filled up for some mm and trickles then down through the

slits, evenly distributed over the whole plate. This set up contains no moving

parts and is maintenance free and safe for failures. The water trickled down

through a 20 cm high column of Bactoballs. A bacteria layer, the so called

biofilm is formed on the surface of the Bactoballs The bacteria remove waste

substances from the water, especially Ammonia and Nitrite. These nitogen

compounds are oxidised to Nitrate. The trickel filter modules are mounted

above a layer of filter sponge. Here, the noise is minimised and particles, as

dead bacteria falling from the Bactoballs are removed from the water.

2.2. Protein skimmer

The protein skimmer is supplied with water from a bypass of the water inlet. The

bypass can be regulated with the adjustion valve. It should always be adjusted

in a way, that dry foam is produced and pushed into the foam cup.

The complete foam cup can be removed for cleaning. It is also possible to turn

the bayonet and to remove the whole lid of the skimmer. This is necessary to

clean the interior of the reaction pipe.
