BIOREACTOR USING MACROALGAE

摘要

The invention features a bioreactor for the growth of macroalgae and methods for using the bioreactor to maintain optimal nutrient levels for the organisms in an aquarium or aquaculture system. The devices and methods of the invention provide for the bioremediation of excess nutrients in order to maintain nutrient balance in an aquarium or aquaculture system that facilitates growth and/or health of one or more of the organisms that reside therein.

主权项

1. A bioreactor for the bio-absorption of targeted nutrients in an aquarium or aquaculture system comprising a light assembly that is mounted in an armature assembly comprising a light-transmissible tube and support structures for the growth of macroalgae, wherein the armature assembly is mounted within an outer chamber assembly, wherein the light transmissible tube and the outer chamber define a growth chamber for the macroalgae.
