Filter Socks
The sump comes standard with 4″ filter socks. The socks also have silencers that sit inside the socks. There is also a black filter pad that can be placed on top of the filter socks to help reduce noise further and also provide additional mechanical filtration.
Fleece Roller
The Platinum sumps can have a fleece roller added (sold separately). The fleece roller uses the new motor controller with optical sensors and a small screen to configure a bunch of features. The Fleece Kit comes with all the parts needed to convert the Platinum sump to use the fleece roller and also comes with 2 fleece rolls to get started.
Filter Tray
Also sold separately, a large drop in tray can be added for multiple filtration options, including bio/filter balls, bags for phosphate or carbon or stack multiple different sized mechanical filtration pads. There is also a black foam pad that is included to place at the bottom of the tray to get started.
Move-able or Removable Middle Wall (Patent Pending)
Are you tired of trying to find a skimmer that fits your sump or trying to find a sump that has a skimmer section that accommodates your skimmer? On the PLATINUM series, in all the sumps except the cube, the middle wall can be moved around to make the skimmer section and refugium section custom sizes. This allows you to make the skimmer section the optimal size to fit your skimmer which in turn maximizes the refugium section. If you don’t care to have a wall and prefer one large area, the wall can be removed. It is required to use the sliding cross brace, even if the wall is removed. This keeps the sump from bowing out over time.
Input Plate Gasket
In some applications, over time, salt creep can build up around the edges of the input plate. We have added a gasket to seal the area between the sump and the input plate to prevent salt creep build up.
