<p>Device and method for keeping and growing aquatic organisms by optimizing the microbiological treatment of water. The device comprises a first chamber for holding oxygen-depleted water and a second chamber for holding oxygen-rich water, the first and second chambers being separated from one another by a porous substrate which comprises micro-organisms. In the active state, water circulates in the device across the porous substrate for the purpose of microbiological treatment. Using means for conditioning the oxygen-depleted water and oxygen-rich water next to one another results in the composition of the water being effectively kept at optimum values for the microbiological treatment of the water. In addition, sediment comprising waste matter is removed by separation means which are incorporated in an oxygen-depleted circuit and in an oxygen-rich circuit; this prevents the water from becoming turbid and prevents the accumulation of waste matter in the form of sediment. The present invention is so effective at controlling the composition of water that the water is able to maintain an oligotrophic environment for growing reef organisms, such as, inter alia, corals, sponges, molluscs, crustaceans and fish.</p> |
