The tank

One of the most useful features of the CADE Reef S2/P tanks is their extra-wide profiles.This additional width enables the aquarist to create depth to their hardscape from all viewing angles and allow plenty of space for coral growth/extension.
CADE Peninsula Series 1500 S2/P slimline glass Weir incorporates both surface and low-level water intakes.This enables optimal uptake of heavier suspended solids that cannot reach regular surface intakes on regular weirs.Having two weir intakes also serves as an emergency back up should one intake become blocked (by a carpet anemone, for example) making it a key safety feature of this system.Behind the low intake vents is a sealed glass channel that diverts water to the surface.This glass channels function is to both direct the debris to the surface for direct intake to the surface level plumbing and also to prevent water flooding the weir when the pump is switched off.
A great new feature of the entire S2 line is a pre-laminated white base glass, making it perfect for a bare bottom reef or a thin layer of sand where water currents can expose the base glass.
