The tanks have been designed for improved solids removal while keeping tank assembly simple with just three parts. Our redundant speed-controlled pumps provide constant flow to your zebrafish over time as filters accumulate debris, a first in the industry! Our life support controller is the most capable and flexible controller on the marketplace and when connected to our new cloud-based software program (Fluent™), you will be able to trend and record water quality over time, set alerts, change parameters, escalate alarms, and so much more.
