SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Aquarium operators can easily inspect the action inside through the large, transparent viewing port fitted as standard.
EFFECTIVE ENGINEERING
On entering the chamber water deflects off a plate designed and positioned distribute the flow evenly across the sand’s surface without unduly disturbing it. One piece removable septum nozzles positioned across the flat bed plenum beneath the sand help create a smooth, distributed flow.
PREMIUM AESTHETICS
