Best for

People who want a clearer-glass sump tank without going up to the largest sizes.

Worth knowing

The in-cabinet sump trickles water over media, which strips injected CO2 faster than a canister, and the lid lights are aimed at showing off fish rather than growing plants.

What stands out

  • Ultra-clear glass
  • Aluminium lifting lid
  • Small four-way sump (large on 1500 models)
  • Gold apple, light wood or teak finish
