Wet/Dry
Bio Reactor
Emulates
technology developed for sewage treatment
plants to provide maximum biological filtration.
It’s “Pro-balls” offer
the ideal combination of high surface area
and air circulation that promote the growth
of ammonia-and nitrate-removing bacteria.
Wet-Dry
and trickle filters
Usually a tank situated below the
display tank, where water drips or sprays
over a mass of biomedia (coral rubble in
early systems, then plastic Bio-Balls, spheres,
and other shapes in an array of inert materials
and colors) that are elevated above the water
level of the sump. The media are kept damp
by water drizzling through them 24 hours
a day. Beneficial aerobic bacteria grow like
crazy in this environment.
The
bottom line is that wet-dry filters “speed-up” the
usual biological reactions, immediately
improving and stabilizing water quality.
For fish-only systems, wet-dry filters
continue to offer exceptionally good gas
exchange and oxygenation, along with rapid
biological filtration that can cope with
heavy bioloads.
