Overflow Box Design

The central overflow on the ReefPro 1800 is made from black glass and has twin tapered sides which makes it blend into the black back panel of the aquarium, a variation of our "Invisible Weir" design.

The single 25mm return pipe spllits into two nozzles which direct water to both sides of the aquarium. Special 'Ultra-Flow' weir comb allows 30-50% more water through, so that larger flow rates can be used.

 Sump Section

There are as many ideas about sump design as there are hobbyists.

D-D have many decades of experience in designing, building and running large successful aquariums and have combined this knowledge to produce what we believe is the perfect simple sump layout for the space available.

The ultra quiet twin pipe weir system is further refined by the first section of the sump, resulting in a silent water return with no splashing or gurgling. If using the filter sock arrangement (option when ordering), the water then overflows into a twin filter sock section which incorporates a diffused silencer plate to silence any water noise. The Reef Pro aquariums come as standard with a ClariSea ready sump, with this the filter sock section, if used, can be lifted out and replaced with a ClariSea unit with ease even when the aquarium is filled with water. The main overflow pipework provided will connect in to the ClariSea inlet fitting with the use of a 40mm slip fit PVC aquarium socket, so no cutting or changing of pipework is required.

After passing through the prefilter water flows Into two large equipment compartments. These chambers can both hold equipment such as skimmers, media reactors, calcium reactors etc or you can use one chamber as a refugium with caulerpa/cheato.

Here again there is flexibility to alternate these sections for those who prefer to skim before or skim after the refugium. The final section is a generous sized return pump compartment.
