Wet/Dry Filters and Sumps

These filters are rated for saltwater aquariums, but are great for fresh water as well.  Their efficiency greatly increases when used for fresh water, enabling them to support aquariums much larger than the saltwater aquariums they are rated for.  These filters are capable of carrying large chemical-waste loads, and thus maintain consistent water quality.  This is especially important for fish, corals, and invertebrates sensitive to poor or fluctuating water conditions.  Check out the 110 gallon cichlid tank with a wet/dry filter on the 'Installations' page.

 

The SL-20 measures 26" x 12" x 17".  It has an 11 gallon bio-media capacity, enabling this filter to support saltwater aquariums up to 220 gallons!  The SL-20 is small enough to fit under a 75 gallon aquarium.   Includes a hinged cover, drip-plate, two 1" bulkhead fittings, plumbing kit (ball valve, PVC fittings, and PVC pipe) and has a sump large enough for water pump, protein skimmer, etc.  Does not include water pump or bio-media. Cost: $360.00

This is SkyLab's new 'Rip Tide' wet/dry filter!!  So new that it's still only on paper, but the prototype is on its way!  This wet/dry was designed to fit under wooden stands of smaller tanks (should fit under most tanks that have a 12" width; i.e. 10, 15, 20, 29, 30, & 55 gallon tanks).  It will have a 1" drain and a 3/4" return.  The 'Rip Tide' will also have a glass canopy.  Water pump area will be 4" x 9."  Does not include water pump or bio-media.  Cost:  $155.00

Refugiums

AquaFuge™ MP

This sump-based refugium is hand-crafted in the USA with the highest quality acrylic. The AquaFuge™ MP includes a pre-filter bag to trap detritus before entering the refugium and can be adjusted to accomodate your drain line. An additional pre-filter bag can be added for overflows with two drain lines. The addition of a refugium can stabilize your marine ecosystem by providing nutrient export with the growth of macroalgae as well as create an isolation area for new or injured fish. Each size is designed to accomodate a CPR light fixture which fits neatly over the refugium to provide light to the refugium inhabitants.

The AquaFuge™ PRO is designed for use with various mediums including mud, live sand, and live rock.

  AquaFuge2

CPR's AquaFuge2 hang-on refugiums come in three different sizes to meet the needs of marine aquarists.

Recently redesigned with a black acrylic backing to prevent light from transfering to the main aquarium, each model comes with a powerhead and features a unique baffle system. This prevents the substrate and organisms from being disturbed yet also allows enough water to flow through the eliminate any stagnant areas. Also includes the New Bubble Eliminator to stop bubbles from entering the tank from the outlet.

The AquaFuge2 provides ideal growth conditions for food items, such as copepods and ampipods, to feed invertebrates and fish in the main tank.

It provides a controlled growing area for macroalgae, which can be used to reduce "nuisance" algae in the main tank and provided a "nursery" area for a variety of organisms.
