The Easy-Reef PRO EDITION is the fourth generations of our Easy-Reef systems. Just like all Easy-Reefs, it is fully built in the USA, and uses American materials and no metric measurements or parts. Learn more about Easy-Reef Aquarium Systems here.
This PRO version of the Easy-Reef combines all the ultimate features, namely:
- an extruded aluminum frame that provides the optimal structure for the wood stand (optional - $700 more);
- doors on all 3 sides of stand and electric panel included;
- a reinforced tank with perimeter bottom brace and reinforced vertical seams (and the option to include a reinforced Starboard bottom and a top eurobrace);
- a space-saving external overflow (Modular Marine or Synergy Reef Shadow);
- a state-of-the-art Bashsea Smart sump which can be used both with sock filtration and the refugium-centered Triton method;
- bean animal style plumbing with Spears valves and unions (available in both 1" and 1.5" piping).
Tank
• Dimensions: 48"x24"x20" (LxWxH)
• Rimless tank with Starphire glass on the three viewing panels and blacked-out back panel
• 1/2" glass thickness on all panels
• Diamond-edge polish on all panels
• Built-in reinforcement features: bottom perimeter brace and reinforced vertical seams
• Black silicone
• Black PVC foam bottom pad makes the tank stand-ready
• External overflow with either 1" or 1.5" drains
Plumbing
• Quality American-made hard plumbing with Spears valves, unions, and Sch. 80 fittings
• (3) 1" or 1.5" drains: main, secondary and emergency
• (1) 1" return that splits into two and narrowed down to (2) 3/4" Loc-line return jets 4" away from the corners of back panel
Stand
• 36” tall extruded aluminum stand skinned in maple wood (no MDF used ever)
• Several modern styles to choose from (Cardiff, Solana, Sydney) -- or upgrade to a traditional Malibu or Shaker stand at an extra charge
• Use push-latch mechanisms (default option) or modern stainless steel hardware to open and close doors (you may also send us custom hardware you prefer to use)
• Choose from black satin or white semi-gloss, or a variety of stains, such as Espresso, Brown Mahogany, Bordeaux, Driftwood, and Antique Cherry (color-matched staining available as long as you send in a sample)
Sump / ATO Container
Included is your choice of either the 30"x18"x16" or 36"x15"x16" Bashsea Smart sump. This sump can be used with sock filtration, or with a simple modification, you can convert the first chamber to a refugium which will give you an 11 to 12 gallon refugium volume (consistent with Triton recommendations for a 100 gallon tank). Optional matching ATO container available at additional cost.
