Zooplankton cultivation unit.
Many species of salt and freshwater zooplankton can be cultivated in the plankton reactor. The zooplankton is fed with micro-algae from the plankton light reactor. The zooplankton has great growth potential: under optimal algal nutrition the number of rotifers (Brachionus) may double over four days. Brachionus is the ideal food for raising many marine fish larvae and invertebrates in the saltwater aquarium. Contents: plankton reactor approx. volume 2.5 liter (c. 0.65 gal), wall bracket, and connections for air pump.

Phytoplankton (Micro-algae) cultivation unit.
The plankton light reactor is a simple system for producing plankton in a natural food chain. Within the plankton light reactor, micro-algae are produced with light, fertilizer and CO2. The micro-algae can be fed directly to many filter-feeding invertebrates, and especially to zooplankton. The growth rate of the micro-algae in the plankton light reactor is enormous. If the supply of light, CO2 and nutrients is continuous, the biomass of the algae may increase four-fold within 24 hours. Both fresh- and saltwater species of phytoplankton can be cultivated. Contents: plankton light reactor approx. volume 0.65 gal) wall bracket, connections for air pump, lighting unit with fluorescent lamp (18 W), special reflector and fixing clamps.

Very interesting. Is the light the only difference between the two?
I think you need a canreef review of these. I'd be happy to try one out :wink:

Hi

The light and the injection of Co2.

Interestingly these have only just found it to our shores, I was selling these 10 years ago in the UK!

there will be a few Aqua Medic comps give aways and other promos ;)

Am i understanding it right. I would actually need both units. One to grow phyto to feed the zooplankton

If you want Zooplankton then yes, as phyto is its food source. Phyto of course can be used on its own.
