Gas supersaturation in aquaria can be relieved by treatment of inflowing water with suitable apparatus. Two devices have been developed for this purpose. The first uses controlled agitation of falling water to bring about equilibrium and operates at flow rates near 40 liters/min; the second agitates the seawater with compressed air and is useful in the flow rate range 0 to 3 liters/min. These designs are modifiable to other flow rates.
