Maintenance-free enhancement of aquatic biological filters using amphipods

The invention is a method and intended apparatus for filtering water in aquaria, fish-rearing tanks, hatchery or other aquatic systems using amphipods, e.g. the Hyalella azteca, in the filtering matrix of the managed water system. In particular, the use of amphipods in the filtration system results...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention is a method and intended apparatus for filtering water in aquaria, fish-rearing tanks, hatchery or other aquatic systems using amphipods, e.g. the Hyalella azteca, in the filtering matrix of the managed water system. In particular, the use of amphipods in the filtration system results in maintenance-free operation due to the action and self-sustaining nature of amphipods in these aquatic systems.
