Trigger Systems Ruby CUBE Sump - 20 inch

Trigger Systems specializes in aquarium sump manufacturing. They manufacture all sumps here in the USA (Dallas, TX). Trigger Systems build each sump as if it were their own. They take pride in the robustness, efficiency of the design and visual appeal of our sumps. All sumps come with a full top support brace which are made of a solid piece of material. Without this the sump will over time begin to bow out from the humidity and water pressure. They also round instead of squaring the corners which exponentially increases the strength of the corner.

Trigger Systems have taken feedback from their customers through the years to enhance their products. Small things in the design aspect will pay off considerably when putting the sumps to use. A simple example is that they always maximize the distance between the protein skimmer location and the return pump in an effort to minimize the chance for micro bubbles returning to the display. All Trigger Systems sumps come with a refugium section that can be used to house other equipment if a refugium is not desired on the particular setup.

The RUBY series sumps are loaded with features and come with the trademark dark RUBY translucent red material. RUBY sumps have the same designs as the CRYSTAL but have the following differences:

    Same or slightly larger dimensions
    RUBY red coloring to block light and prevent unwanted algae growth in other sections
    Probe holder

Some additional features of the RUBY sumps are:

•     Locking Filter Sock Holder
•     Adjustable Water Height (ELITE and CUBE models)
•     Protein Skimmer section
•     Refugium section

Adjustable Water Level
Water level in the sump is adjustable on the following RUBY sumps: Ruby 20C Cube from 7” to 9.5”, Ruby 30E and Ruby 36E Elite from 7” to 10”. This feature is to accommodate for the water height requirements for different protein skimmers.

Locking Filter Sock Holder
Filter socks snap and lock into the filter sock holders to secure the filter sock from falling out when it becomes clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced. The 4” filter socks are 100 micron rating.

Draw String Tabs
Tabs are located on the top support brace in front of the 1” bulkhead fittings which are included. The purpose of these tabs is to provide a location for tying off 7” diameter filter socks that have draw strings.

Probe Holders
All RUBY sumps come with a probe holder that can hold up to three probes. The holes are 0.63” in diameter.
