Reef S2/NTank

The CADE Pro Reef Tankis a rimless open top design boasting super high clarityOpti-Clear glasswith flat polished edges constructed using the highest qualityGerman Whacker silicone.The CADE logo is laser etched within the front glass panel and serves as your guarantee of authenticity.

Silicone is precision applied producing perfect gaps and a razor sharp minimalist finish. The newReef S2/N tankmeasure 500mm high and 560mm widewith space split between 470mm of inhabitable tank width and the remaining 100mm allocated to the ‘Backdrop Water Management System’.

The Reef S2 utilizes space at the rear of the tank for amulti-purpose water management system.This feature splits the rear and front of thetank viaa glass panel positioned 9cm off the rear of the tank. The dividingpanel consists of 2x 5mm laminated glass panels with the black background colour embedded between the 2 sheets of glass ensuring there is no possibility of discoloration and minimising the risk of scratches.

The CADE Reef S2/N ‘Weir’found on the left side of the ‘multifunction water management system’isunique in that itoffers both surface and low level water intakesenabling superior uptake of heavier suspended solids that fail to reach regular surface intakes on regular weirs. Having an extra weir intake also serves as anemergency back upshould one intake become blocked by a carpet anemone for examplemaking it an important safety feature of the system.

Inside the weir water is delivered to the sump via 2 pipes,a main down flow pipe and anadditional emergency overflowpipe which assists flow to the sump filtershould the main pipe become blocked. The water intake system has been carefully designed to ensure it operatesilentlywithout further modification. The CADE Pro Reef S2 also has the ability tochoose between 2 water levels, a high and low level. To set the water height simply adjust the gate valve in the sump to allow flow through only the low level main down flow pipe (standard water level), or through both the low and high level down flow pipe to set it to the higher level. Alternatively the fine adjustmentGate Valvewill also allow the user to adjust a water height at any height in between. This is a great option to have and is particularly handy for those that may want to add a wave maker to their system and require a lower water level in their Aquarium.

The Reef S2 weiris neatly concealedoff with a flip top cover that has provisions for power cable management which keeps it all very neat and provides easy access for maintenance and cleaning. Tip: the weir on the PR-S2 is a great place to conceal the Aquarium heater.

The remainder of the ‘multifunction water management system’ is allocated to thelarge ATO reservoiran important feature thatprevents the need for frequent refilling of evaporated Aquarium water. The ATO reservoir extends from the leftside of the tank next to the weir across to the right edge of the tank. Plumbing from the ATO reservoir is plumbed directly down to the sump filter to a float valve mounted in the return pump chamber of the sump. A plasticflip cover in the right side corner provides access to the ATO for easy refilling and a water volume indicator on the side of the tank lets you know when your water level is low.The return flow plumbing is neatly hiddenwithin the ATO Reservoirsection of the tank.

A great addition to theCADE Reef S2/N isalaminated white sticker applied to the underside of the base panelmaking it perfect for aquarists that prefer a bare bottom reef or a thin layer of sand that is often pushed around exposing the base glass.

Reef S2/N Cabinet

CADE Reef S2 cabinetsare900mm tall and require no assembly whatsoever.We deliver them to you completely assembled (sump installed) within a solid plywood box. Simply open the box, position the cabinet, rest the tank on top and screw your plumbing together. It’s that simple!

CADE Cabinets are constructed using materials that are 100% waterproof. We are all aware that wood, metal and salt water do not equate to a durable hard wearing cabinet and because water spills are inevitable in our hobby we’ve constructed our cabinets using completely waterproof materials aluminum, glass and industrial plastic. These materials will never swell, rust or deteriorate. Even the magnetic door closes are hidden inside the framework to prevent them corroding. The cabinet colour is anodized to the aluminum frame which provides a perfect hardwearing finish and is also unaffected by corrosive salt water. Rest assured that the CADE Reef S2 cabinet is designed to lasta lifetime.

The Reef S2 cabinet has bothfront and side doors with hinges and magnetic latches cleverly hidden within the frame work.The right side cabinet door accesses theController Managementarea withpower on/off switchesdisplayed for easy access. This area is specifically designed for mounting electrical controllers keeping them neat and safely away from salt water.

Theleft side door provides direct access to the sump for unrestricted accessability to the sump filter.This feature makes servicing the sump incredibly easy and is a huge asset to the S2 models and a unique feature to the CADE Reef S2 Aquarium.

To protect the tank the cabinet also has a foam padding pre-installedand we’ve also added industrial gradeadjustable caster feetfor simplity whenlevelling out your Aquarium on uneven floors.

Filtration & Plumbing

CADE Reef S2 Sump filtrationis a uniquely designed system that maximises space and providesendless versatilityno matter what your filtration preferences are. Every model is equipped withpre-filtration sock/s a large Protein Skimmer / Reactor chamber, a Bio / Chemical Media Chamber and a Return Pump Chamber which also houses the ATO refill float valve that connects to the water storage reservoir in the rear of the tank.A very smart inclusion to the S2/N sumps are individually removable 8x8x20h (cm)media basketswhich can be used for any form of Biological or Chemical filter media. Filter baskets offset the need for additional media reactors such as a Carbon Reactor which ultimately saves space and unnecessary additional expenses.

CADE Reef S2plumbing is apre-fabricated screw fitdesign that installs in minutes and requires no silicone. The plumbing starts in the weir with 2x down flow pipes (main drain & emergency). The main is fitted with a newly designed fine tuning gate valve for silencing the weir. The gate valve also enables adjustment of the Aquariums displays water height. Return flow to the Aquarium is via a 1″ PVC pipe that is neatly concealed within the ATO reservoir chamber and feeds back into the tank via a directional adjustment outlet. The entire system is extremely neat and runs absolutely silently.

The CADE Reef S2/N contains atapped water feed that runs off the main pump. This allows the aquarist to use the main pumps outflow pressure to feed reactors or a chillerin the system. The reactor feedoutlet directions are completelyadjustable via the screw fit connections.
