Reef X System

The Reef X system is our range of 'Expansion Systems' that enable the aquarist to build upon their existing Reef Aquarium. The Reef X plumbs into a main displays sump filter eliminating the need for a seperate filter offering the distinct advantage of maintaining identical water parameters. Reef X's primary purpose is for coral frag cultivation, however their applications are almost limitless. Reef X is supplied with a versatile plumbing system that is adaptable to a range of positioning configurations and it can be used with any sump filtered Aquarium and placed on any suitable cabinet.

Reef X is available in 4 sizes that configure perfectly with our Caddy cabinets for seamless integration with our Reef Series Aquariums whilst also allowing for versatility with positioning next to or away from the main display.

Model types:

  • Reef X 560 & 700 are both full width models (500mm wide) and fit the exact footprints of the Caddy 560 and 700 respectively.
  • Reef X 560/N & 700/N are narrower versions (400mm wide) creating space for cleaning if the display cabinet is positioned directly next to the main display tank.
