APEG Tank Facilities• World Class Tank and Aquarium facilities
• Biosecure facility with additional security containment for exotics
• Continuous flow (general) and batch treated (secure)ozone treated waste streams
• Flow-through freshwater and seawater systems
• Computer controlled temperature 5 – 35°C ( 0.1°C)
• Bespoke partial or full recirculation systems if required
• Flexible computer controlled dimmable lighting to replicate any location in the world (with dawn/dusk effects)
• 24-hour 7-day, 365 days callout (alarmed tanks and plant)
• Fully GLP compliant, member of the UK GLP compliance programme
