Fish Holding Tank
Fish Holding Tank - Water Bath
Stores your fish and let them
acclimate, undisturbed, to your laboratory conditions
A peaceful, optimal environment
- A very quiet system!
- Wide temperature range (2-30°C).
- A swift current (4 cm/sec) reduces aggressive behavior in fish (adjustable).
- Tank is divided into two sections with removable screen insert
- Clear lid, exposing fish to ambient photoperiod
- Air stone for additional aeration (if required)
- Makes a great water bath for static-type experiments!
Green technology!
- Uses little water: up to 99.9% of water flow is recycled
- Efficient pump and chilling system
- Insulated tank
Requires little maintenance
- No siphoning needed; a swift water flow flushes debris to a novel sediment trap.
- Easy-access, five-stage water filtration: solid removal pad with activated carbon, carbonate buffer, biofiltration, efficient CO2 degassing by propeller pump
- Biofilter comes pre-coated with active nitrifying bacteria (unique). This significantly cuts back ammonia peak when the unit is initially filled with animals.
- Water pipes can be dismantled for cleaning and disinfecting; ceramic biofilter autoclavable.
- Tank on a high-strength industrial grade fiberglass and plastic stand, with built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection.
- Heat exchanger is in seawater-resistant titanium.
Clear cover divided into two sections
