WATER FLOW PATH
SECTION DETAILSCRYS30S
SECTION DETAILS
The CRYS30S has 3 main sections. Water drains from the tank into section 1 through the 100 micron provided filter socks. Section 1 is typically where the protein skimmer sits. Water then flows through a slit in the first baffle into section 2.
Section 2 is typically used as a refugium. If a refugium is not desired, then the protein skimmer or other equipment can be housed in section 2. The water then flows over the second baffle through 2 perforated platforms and under the third baffle into section 3. The top perforated platform holds the included foam block filter and the bottom platform is open to use for several different filtration methods (bag of carbon, bio balls, rubble rock, etc.).
Section 3 is the return section where the return pump will sit, pumping water back to the display tank.
Key Features
1. Drawstring tabs for 7″ drawstring filter socks
2. Locking filter sock holder
3. Full top support brace to prevent bowing
4. Dual media platforms
Dual Media Platforms
There are two platforms in the area before the return section. The top platform comes with a foam filter block and the bottom one is open to use for several different filtration methods (bag of carbon, bio balls, bio sponge, heater, rubble rock, etc.).
Drawstring Tabs
A tab is located on the top support brace in front of the 1” bulkhead fitting. The purpose of this tabs is to provide a location for tying off 7” diameter filter socks that have drawstrings. The 7″ socks allow for longer times before the filter sock gets clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Locking Filter Sock Holder
Filter socks snap and lock into the filter sock holders to secure the sock from falling out when it becomes clogged. The 4” filter sock is 100 micron rating.
Awesome
This trigger sump is simple and does the job perfectly, it’s made so well. I fit the skimmer in the sock chamber, middle chamber for refugium and last chamber for pumps. It’s nice and clean looking.
Fantastic Build Quality and Great Design!
Purchased this sump for use on a 60g rimless cube with a footprint inside the stand of 22×22. Needless to say, that’s not much room, but this bad boy adds 20g of sump & fuge capacity within a very small footprint! I love the design and flowpath as I can have the skimmer and return sections in the back with the nice wide refugium section in front for easy viewing of all my chaeto, pods and other microfauna. All three chambers are pretty good size and I was able to fit a Bubble Magus Curve 7 skimmer in the intake section with room to spare for my heater and probe holder! Again, great design, sturdy build quality and wonderful service from AquaCave!
