Turbo 50 – 36″ Algae Scrubber Ready Sump

 

 

Turbo’s Aquatics sumps are the first sumps specifically designed to accept an algae scrubber, filter roller and DC return pump without complicated plumbing or unsightly tubing!

 

These high-quality sumps are MADE IN THE USA using 1/4″ cell cast acrylic. The side and bottom panels are clear and opaque black acrylic is used for the top and interior baffles which creates a clean, contemporary look that compliments any color scheme.

 

The included bracket and PVC rail system located in the center chamber supports compatible Clear Water Algae Scrubbers above the water level while still allowing enough space for a protein skimmer or additional filtration equipment.

 

The intake or drain chamber contains two (2) 1.5″ slip bulkheads and a flexible-use media section and comes standard with a removable dual Filter Sock Tray.   The standard tray is compatible with standard 4″ filter socks and the Klir Fleece Filter Roller.

 

CLARISEA COMPATIBILITY: Rev B sumps include a removable filter sock tray to allow for compatibility with the ClariSea Fleece Filter (Gen 1 & Gen 2). Use of ClariSea Fleece Filter in intake chamber requires conversion kit (sold separately by Turbo’s Aquatics). Conversion kit for Fleece Filter Gen 3 is not available.

 

A 1″ slip bulkhead located on the return chamber is aligned to fit directly onto the EcoTech Marine Vectra L2 DC Return Pump but will also work with a wide range of additional pumps.

 

All models feature a probe holder with 4 ports, JG fittings for dosing lines located in the return pump chamber, the adjustable water level in the center chamber, black colored lids to prevent salt creep and bulkheads for both the drain and return pump connections.

 

Compatible Algae Scrubber:

• Clear Water Scrubbers CW-200

With scrubber installed, there is a remaining footprint of 20″ x 8″ for a protein skimmer or additional equipment of your choice. When using a protein skimmer alongside an algae scrubber, we recommend downsizing your skimmer because of the reduced nutrient levels as a result of the scrubber.

 

Compatible Filter Socks/Fleece Rollers:

• 4″ Felt Filter Socks with Plastic Ring
• 4″ Klir Fleece Filter Roller
• Clarisea SK-3000 Automatic Filter System (See compatibility note above)
• Clarisea SK-5000 Automatic Filter System (See compatibility note above)
