sumps 

The eaReef consists of two aquariums – the main display tank 

on top of the cabinet, and the sump tank below, inside the 

cabinet. The object of the sump tank is to hide away bulky, noisy 

or unsightly aquarium equipment like pumps, heaters, protein 

skimmers, automatic top-up devices, filters and reactors. 

A sump can also add vital extra volume to the main display tank 

above it. The larger the water volume, the more fish you can 

keep, and the more stable it becomes in terms of slowing down 

temperature fluctuations. Bigger water volume is always better 

when it comes to accurately replicating a slice of natural coral reef.

in tank filtration 

The driving force behind eaMarine aquariums is the in tank 

filtration system, powered by Evolution Aqua’s K1 Micro ® , 

that resides neatly at the rear of the aquarium. This filter system 

comprises a set of adjacent chambers, separated by acrylic grill 

plates, housing components that together help to deliver a safe, 

biological equilibrium within the aquarium. 

The K1 Micro Method of filtration provides a suitable home 

for nitrifying bacteria (ammonia and nitrite converting,) 

de-nitrifying bacteria (nitrate removing,) and rotifers, 

which themselves are filtering water and cleaning up waste. 

• Moving bed filtration in the back of the aquarium 

• Tried and tested biological filtration technology 

• 950m 2 per m 3 Protected Surface Area 

• Protected surface area is home to micro-organisms 

that break down organics

Aquarium LED lighting of choice 

Evolution Aqua supply high quality LED lighting produced by Kessil 

in California. This innovative company manufacture the LED light 

chips themselves, allowing them to carefully fine tune the specific 

light spectrums needed to ensure marine and freshwater 

livestock thrive, whilst delivering eye popping colours. 

The brand new Kessil AP700, the A160WE and A360WE 

are all available from Evolution Aqua stockists along with 

a full range of Kessil accessories. 

Dense Matrix LED 

Kessil LED lights 

stand out from the 

competition thanks 

to their patented 

Dense Matrix LED. 

This unique, patented design means 

Kessil LED chips can be densely packed 

together on a platform, rather than having to use 

individually wrapped LEDs. This allows Kessil LED 

lights to project intense light beams whilst running 

at cool operating temperatures.

NEW FOR 2016 

New Generation LED Light 

Panel For Aquariums 

AP700 

The long awaited Kessil AP700 has 

arrived and combines class leading 

power with built in WiFi and infinite colour 

control by way of the app with on screen colour 

wheel. Specially designed optics allow light spread 

of up to 48” x 24”, meaning only one panel will be 

needed to light many aquariums, not the usual two or 

three. iPad, iPhone and Android compatibility allows for easy 

yet specific programming of cloud cover, storms, dimming and 

of course the dense matrix array to guarantee popping coral colours.
