Filters and pumps

AquaVim Eco-Smart Sump combo - Perfect for aquarium with both fish and corals. This is a filter system that does a lot more than wet-dry trickle filtering. It features a complex of compartments to direct water flow in a non-agitated pattern to encourage growth of micro organism in its built-in refugium before its included pump returns strong, quality-filtered water full of beneficial bacteria and propagated live food to the main tank. The unique bio-ball wet/dry filtering compartment not only enables you to target either ammonia/nitrite during nitrogen cycle, or nitrate by the end of the cycle, or both, by simply relocating bio balls, but also, it gives you the freedom to place the media of your choice according to your specific needs. Protein skimmer is equipped to help break waste particles before they form toxic compounds. Every AquaVim Eco-smart Sump has an extra, spare room regardless its size, for your additional pump in case you add other equipment such like a chiller. If you do not use a chiller, you can use the spare room to hold some small live rocks to promote diversity of micro organism. Sump body is made of glass for durability. Besides protein skimmer, each combo includes main pump, skimmer pump, bio balls, drip plates, filtering pad, and plumbing kit. This innovative complete filtration system is born to meet the needs of saltwater-aquarium enthusiasts. Use it with refugium mud and caulerpa plants (not included), this system will provide crystal clear water full of beneficial micro organism. For more details, click [ here ].
