Process Data:
The ®(BAWPS) ®BioTrap RedTop High Flow Evaporative BioSkimmer Filter Drip / Stream Dosing System.
Referring to the biofilter added dosing system: incredibly, the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser and cyclonic high flow bioskimmer comes with a drip/stream doser additive tube, doser additive tube seal, and doser additive tube cap/stand which allows for the “mini-stream” or “trickle-in” affect of additives like liquid calcium or periodic treatments of liquid copper.
Positioned high on the top of the box top enclosure housing and just behind the manual soak feeder attachment, or electronic soak feeder attachment, the doser additive assembly can be accessed.
By twist/pulling up on the doser additive tube cap/stand, the three piece assembly will rise out and free from the box top enclosure housing. Remove the doser additive tube cap/stand with its internal doser additive tube cap seal and turn the pair over before setting them down on any flat surface. Now position the nippled-tip the doser additive tube into the back of the cap/stand so that the doser additive tube cap/stand becomes a suitable stand for the doser additive tube.
Select or mix up the preferred pre-dissolved additive or liquid treatment and pour it into the doser additive tube until it is filled to the desired level. The entire assembly can now be moved into position near the running Series-I BioTrap RedTop filter. When ready to re-install the doser additive assembly, place one finger over the top of the doser additive tube to prevent spillage as the assembly is then turned upside down.
Remove the doser additive tube cap/stand revealing the doser additive tube nipple-tip and set it aside. Place a finger tip over the nipple-tip and rotate the doser additive tube assembly once again so that it is returned to its original upright position.
Replace the doser additive tube cap/stand atop the doser additive tube and again turn the unit upside down. Depress the doser additive tube cap/stand until it is seated and any air within the unit is expelled from the up ended nipple-tip. Right the unit (replace finger tip upon nipple-tip) and ease the combination so that the nipple-tip is directly over the port hole which resides atop the box top enclosure housing.
In one motion, quickly remove the finger tip from the nipple-tip and lower the doser assembly until it is fully seated on the box top enclosure housing. The unit uses gravity feed in a suction environment to create a continuous dripping of the liquid provided from its nipple-tip, this adds chemical filtration to the system.
By lifting off the doser additive tube cap/stand when the doser additive tube is fully installed, the vacuum feature is eliminated and the slow dripping trickle affect is then replaced with a very thin and speedy stream which may be used for a faster injection of liquid additives into the system.
By providing total control over any new additive and/or treatment saturation that goes on in the main habitat area, the aquaculturist can insure that no specific plant or animal is exposed to too heavy, or too high a level dose of any freshly introduced compound or treatment. This process guarantees that all introduced additives and/or treatments will not have a negative affect on any of the overall aquatic inhabitants.
Referring to added fill: The Series-I BioTrap RedTop box top enclosure housing has a built-in manual box top top-off, water fill, additive, and feeding port which supports the addition of water into the habitat chamber even if the top of the aquatic environment is obstructed in some way. Merely spin away the clip-on manual or electronic soak feeder attachment which is located in front of the doser additive assembly atop the box top enclosure housing and pour the water to be added directly into the provided box top top-off, water fill, additive, and feeding port there.
When adding water or “topping-off” the system, the introduced liquid travels down from the box top top-off, water fill, additive, and feeding port and through the attached soak feeder tube, both components are located directly under the manual or electronic soak feeder attachment and the box top top-off, water fill, additive, and feeding port.
From the bottom of the box top soak feeder additive tube the flow drops down into the box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser bottoms’ internal cyclonic pre-soak food and top-off water pre-release chamber which is located directly below it and in the box bottom enclosure housing. This chamber being fed directly from the box bottom cyclonic supply-in pipe head release port, where the water is spun and mixed prior to its release from the submerged box bottom top-off, water fill, additive, and food chamber port.
It is here at the bottom of the Series-I BioTrap RedTop filter box were the flow of added water passes from the food/water release port and into the submerged elevation stand top-off, water fill, additive, and food transfer port which is located in the top of the box elevation stand w/ c.o.d. diffuser cups.
The water path then bypasses the c.o.d. diffuser feature altogether as it moves down and out and into the newly oxygen infused water that is being supplied to the water column of the habitat area. (If a bottom box elevation stand w/ submersible light is present, the food will continue on through it also via another box bottom cyclonic food chamber w/ lower food/water transfer port which bypasses the bottom box elevation stand submersible light chamber completely as it passes directly on, and out, and into, the newly oxygen infused water that is being supplied to the water column of the habitat chamber.)
Added Feeder: Although larger servings of food can be provided to the system manually through the box top top-off, water fill, additive, and food release port, and as mentioned before, there is the manual soak feeder attachment and the electronic soak feeder attachment, of which either can sit atop the box top top-off, water fill, additive, and food release port and just in front of the box top doser additive assembly, and next to the cyclonic bioskimmer foam collection cup lid with it’s attached cyclonic bioskimmer foam collection cup float level indicator.
The manual soak feeder attachment, being an assembly which consists of three basic parts: the manual soak feeder attachment (or body), manual soak feeder transfer paddle , and the dual soak feeder dispenser body cap.
There is also the optional top-off, water fill, additive, and feed tank wall clip which allows the manual soak feeder attachment or electronic soak feeder to be mounted separately from the filter and all on their own.
The body assembly of the manual soak feeder attachment is designed to clip-on and rest upon the box top top-off, water fill, additive, and food release port. By removing the dual soak feeder dispenser body cap from the manual soak feeder attachment, it is then possible to pour food directly into the manual soak feeder attachment body and manual soak feeder transfer paddle combo unit until the body is nearly full.
Replace the dual soak feeder dispenser body cap so that it clicks in place on the manual soak feeder transfer paddle and then turn the dual soak feeder dispenser body cap side to side, this allows for the inner-spin of the manual soak feeder transfer paddle inside.
With each turn of the dual soak feeder dispenser body cap, or (with the electronic soak feeder and its power selector stationed at feed cycle one or two being similar), the manual soak feeder attachment body dispenses a partial serving of food from the manual soak feeder release ports which are centrally positioned in manual soak feeder attachment body bottom. Once released from the bottom of the manual soak feeder release ports, the food enters and then falls down through the box top enclosure housing cover cyclonic soak feeder tube, (once released, the food follows the same path as the added fill water did previously).
It is here at the bottom of the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box bottom enclosure housing were the flow of added water passes from its box bottom top-off, water fill, additive, and food release port and into the the submerged top-off, water fill, additive, and food port which is located in the top of the box elevation stand w/ c.o.d. diffuser cups.
The food then arrives in the cyclonic mixing chamber which is being fed directly from the cyclonic supply-in pipe head release port, where the food and water is spun and mixed prior to its release from the submerged elevation stand w/ c.o.d. diffuser’s top top-off, water fill, additive, and food transfer port.
The food path then bypasses the c.o.d. diffuser feature altogether as it moves down and out into the newly oxygen infused water that is being supplied to the water column of the habitat area. (If a the box elevation stand w/ submersible light is present, the food will continue on through it via another the submerged elevation stand w/ light top top-off, water fill, additive, and food transfer port which bypasses the bottom box elevation stand submersible light chamber completely and passes directly on, and out, and into, the newly oxygen infused water that is being supplied to the water column of the habitat chamber).
