Many of our smaller aquarium filtration systems are self contained below the aquarium and utilize our robust Clear Choice Wet-dry filter However, for aquariums over 350 gallons, the aquarium life support systems should be located remotely within your facility or residence. The size of the Life Support System is based on the volume and complexity of your particular aquarium application.
LSS Design Fundamentals All re-circulated aquarium life support systems require biological, mechanical and chemical filtration. Protein skimming is considered essential for all saltwater applications. The design may include our self-contained Clear Choice Wet-dry filter for aquariums under 350 gallons, or a remote filtration system for larger aquariums. A typical remote aquarium life support system will utilize an open system and often include a closed system to provide additional water circulation. Most remote LSS will also require a chiller and heater to control water temperature within the aquarium.
LSS Designs
A) Open System Design - Turn over through the open system should be approximately four times per hour. Therefore, the pump should be rated for this turn over at the given head loss for the aquarium application.
- The system requires an atmospheric reservoir of approximately 10% the volume of the main aquarium (the more volume available, the better). Within the open reservoir pre-filtration, typically micron polyester bag filters are used.
- On marine systems, an open system includes a protein skimmer rated for the volume and load of the aquarium in question. The skimmer should have the capacity to handle at least 100% of the volume of the aquarium once per hour.
- The open system typically utilizes a fluidized bed filter and/or a bio/de-gassing tower with a sufficient quantity of bio-balls for gaseous exchange and biological oxidation/reduction.
B) Closed System Design
- Turn over through the closed system is approximately 4 times per hour
- The closed system provides additional circulation.
- Additional mechanical filtration is achieved using a canister filter or other high capacity mechanical filter.
- Additional chemical filtration is provided by a carbon canister filter.
- A side stream is directed to the aquarium chilling system to maintain a constant temperature.
- Water from the closed system may be used to supply an Ultra-Violet Sterilizer for additional filtration.
