public aquarium filter

[catjohnson]

i was just reading some info on public aquarium filters and was wondering how they recycle their water and if i could do something like it. i bet it would save a lot in water changes.

They must desalinate thier water or put it through vigorous RO tests and stuff like that.

Large scale RO/DI systems can recover a great deal of the water but even with large booster pumps you loose about 35% or so.

Did it say they recycle it back to the aquariums? I know some public aquariums send it to holding tanks for use in the toilets...
