Product overview
The CADE Reef S3 is a front-facing marine aquarium with Opti-Clear glass, a rear weir, and a waterproof aluminium cabinet. The display is 700–800 mm front to back, so rockwork and coral have depth without crowding the front pane.
All plumbing runs through a slim black glass weir at the back of the tank. The 900 mm cabinet arrives built and holds a multi-stage glass sump plus a dry power area.
Key features
-
Opti-Clear glass: Low-iron panels with German silicone seams. Polycarbonate mesh jump guard included.
-
Rear weir: Triple intake (surface, mid, and lower) to take waste from the full water column, with backup if one intake blocks.
-
Sump: Roller-mat ready mechanical chamber instead of filter socks, then a Triton-ready refugium tray.
-
Power: Side display doors, cable channels, and switched outlet boards with lit rocker switches.
-
Plumbing: Colour-coded Sanking pipe that screws together. No PVC glue.
-
Cabinet: Anodised aluminium frame, glass panels, and rust-proof hinges. No timber to swell or rot.
