16 November 2001 - TMC takes on Schuran range

AquaflotorŽ Jetskim High Performance Skimmers

The AquaflotorŽ Jetskim range of skimmers incorporates a triple pass system which means that water and bubbles stay in the chambers longer allowing more time for skimming.

All skimmers have venturi injector systems and as they are made of acrylic, they are strong and durable.

• Jetskim 100 for aquaria up to 500 litres

• Jetskim 120 for aquaria up to 600 litres

• Jetskim 150 for aquaria up to 1000 litres

• Jetskim 200 for aquaria up to 2000 litres

Nitrate Filter

Nitrate can accumulate in the aquarium causing excessive algae growth and affecting water quality.

The Nitrate Filter from Schuran reduces the levels of nitrate in your tank with the help of self-grown denitrifying bacteria which are fed with sulphur or diluted alcohol. Reaction chamber for 1.5 litres of sulphur balls or ceramic media (when alcohol is used).

• Double injector.

• High flow rate ensures highest performance.

• Suitable for most sizes of tank.

• Mounted on a bottom plate, and can be placed inside or alongside a filter sump.

(Nutrient feed pump/injector not included)

Jetstream Calcium Reactors

The Jetstream is a new type of calcium reactor which uses a gas/water separator and offers optimum management of carbon dioxide.

Every bubble is used and any nitrogen remaining is dissolved.

The water inside the calcium reactor is circulated by the aid of a centrifugal pump. The water being saturated with carbon dioxide creates an acidic medium in which the coral sand is dissolved as calcium hydrogen carbonate.

Jetstream Calcium Reactors make it possible to dissolve equal amounts of coral sand and carbon dioxide.

• Jetstream Pico for aquaria up to 600 litres

• Jetstream 1 for aquaria up to 3000 litres

• Jetstream 2 for aquaria up to 10000 litres

(CO2 cylinder and control valve not included)
