Two mock SALT aquarium set-ups.   This test was conducted to indicate visual comparison of using ECO-Aqualizer.  Each set-up is comprised of a 4 inch acrylic cylinder with a 40 watt light attached at the top.  And a smaller 3 inch acrylic cylinder used to create a simple air stone skimmer.   Cylinders are 42 inches tall.

One batch of water was mixed up with a combination of ground up food particles and previously collected waste material.   This exact water mixture was poured into each set-up and circulated with the exact water flow rates.  Both set-ups also used the exact air pumps and cork diffusers.

At the top of each 3 inch cylinder is a waste collection cup.  Visual observation can easily be made to measure efficiency of protein skimming by the amount of waste collected.

The cylinders in the middle with the light attached at the top are used to measure clarity.  This is measured using a light LUX meter which is placed at the bottom of each 4 inch cylinder.   Again, easy visual observation can be made to measure the depth of light penetration.

In this experiment, the LUX meter recorded 24% greater light readings in the ECO-Aqualizer set-up.  This light demonstration was conducted to compare water clarity and ability to break-down organic waste particles.
