Description
The Fiji Cube Fiji-30 Advanced Reef Sump (2nd Gen) is a comprehensive and elegantly designed filtration system, perfect for supporting large-scale reef and marine aquariums. It combines structural durability with versatile filtration options to maintain the pristine water quality essential for a thriving reef ecosystem.
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior Build Quality: Constructed from high-quality full cast acrylic, the sump is built to last. It features a crucial full top support brace to significantly reinforce the structure, preventing common issues like bowing or warping from high humidity and water pressure over time. The corners are also rounded for enhanced structural robustness.
- Dual Mechanical Filtration Options: The innovative 2nd Generation design includes an interchangeable mechanical filtration compartment. This allows the aquarist to choose their preferred method of debris removal: either standard filter socks or a convenient filter floss holder.
-
Optimized Compartment Layout:
- Spacious Equipment Chamber: The sump is designed with an ample equipment area, providing plenty of room for large gear like high-performance protein skimmers and various media reactors, allowing them to operate at peak efficiency.
- Refugium Ready: Includes a dedicated refugium compartment, essential for natural filtration. This area can be used to grow macroalgae to aid in absorbing unwanted nutrients (such as ammonia and phosphorus) and to cultivate beneficial copepods for the aquarium's inhabitants. It can also be used for smaller equipment or coral/fish quarantine.
-
Operational Flexibility and Noise Reduction:
- Adjustable Water Level: The operating water height within the skimmer/equipment section can be finely tuned from 5 inches to 12 inches. This adjustability ensures perfect alignment with the manufacturer-recommended water levels for nearly all protein skimmers.
- Quiet Operation: The design incorporates a dedicated chamber for the display tank drain water, which effectively helps to disperse flow and dampen noise before it enters the mechanical filtration stage.
-
Convenience and Evaporation Control:
- Sump Cover Included: The sump comes standard with a durable polycarbonate sump cover/lid. This helps to minimize overall water evaporation from the system and significantly reduces the formation of salt creep on surrounding equipment and surfaces.
- Built-in Holders: Integrated holders are provided for easy and organized placement of probes (temperature, pH) and heaters, maximizing convenience.
