The system consists of 2 adjoining 150 litre aquaria, one functioning as the water-conditioning tank and the other as the principal rearing tank. Water quality remained high with biological and mechanical filtration, physical adsorption and ultraviolet-light disinfection taking place exclusively in the conditioning tank. The pH ranged from 7·58 to 8·00 and ammonia and nitrite levels never exceeded 0·004 mg/l and 0·198 mg/l, respectively. Nitrate levels were maintained at 40 mg/l or less with no… Expand
