A new Armatus White aluminum furniture piece: stability, elegance and resistance to humidity

The new generation of furniture Aqua Medic Armatus brings a major improvement to this range of aquariums. The traditional cabinet gives way to a robust and high-quality aluminum load-bearing structure, Specifically designed to reliably support the weight of a reef aquarium setup. Thanks to its unique profiles and ingenious assembly system, this construction ensures excellent rigidity and optimal stability, even when the aquarium is fully equipped.

Beyond its sturdiness, this new piece of furniture has been designed to withstand the particularly demanding environment of a marine aquarium. Side panels and doors benefit from a water-resistant PET coating, The top and base of the unit are made of robust plastic, suitable for the rigors of seawater. The coated aluminum provides a neat finish and contributes to the overall durability.

In its version White, with its bright white decor, The Armatus 375 XD boasts a modern and bright style that easily finds its place in a living room or family room. The doors are equipped with SoftClose cushioning system They close smoothly, without slamming. A pleasant detail for everyday use, especially when the unit is regularly opened to access technical equipment.

The cabinet also offers a generous interior space to accommodate the sump and accessories essential for the operation of a reef aquarium. Its The partially open back panel promotes ventilation. and helps to remove heat and humidity produced by the equipment. Several openings are provided in the partitions and at the rear to easily organize electrical cables and pipes, without cluttering the available space.

Finally, despite its particularly solid construction, the piece of furniture remains easy to assemble. It is Delivered as a kit with several pre-assembled elements, This makes assembly easier and faster. A safety tray is also included to help protect the inside of the unit in case of small splashes or accidental spills.

A 55-liter glass sump for efficient reef filtration

One of the great advantages of theArmatus 375 XD White Its key feature is its remote filtration system, directly integrated into the cabinet. Unlike aquariums equipped with internal filters, this configuration allows you to keep all the space of the main tank for fish, corals and decorations, while grouping the technical equipment in an easily accessible compartment.

There 55-litre glass decanting tank, Measuring approximately 60 x 42 x 34 cm, it has been designed to facilitate the installation of the various filtration elements. It features a pre-filtration chamber as well as compartments allowing for the combination of mechanical and biological filtration, depending on the aquarium's needs.

There The chamber intended for the skimmer measures approximately 43 x 27 cm., This provides ample space to accommodate a model suited to the tank's volume. Additional equipment, such as a filter media reactor or biological media, can also be installed. A 43 x 11 cm chamber is reserved for the return pump, ensuring the filtered water is returned to the main aquarium.

THE The water level in the settling tank is adjustable between approximately 16 and 23 cm., This facilitates adaptation to the operating requirements of many skimmers. This adjustability is particularly useful for optimizing equipment performance without having to use multiple supports or make makeshift adjustments.

The whole system allows for the construction of an evolving reef filtration system, capable of supporting both the start-up of a new aquarium and the needs of a more mature and densely populated reef.

Easy Drain System: a silent and secure water drainage system

The sound of water flowing through the sump can quickly become unpleasant, especially when an aquarium is installed in a living room. Aqua Medic has therefore equipped theArmatus 375 XD of his "Easy Drain" downpipe system, designed to allow for a regular and particularly discreet flow.

Thanks to the adjustable water level in the overflow column, it becomes possible to precisely control the flow rate, minimizing turbulence, suction noise, and gurgling. Once properly adjusted, the system makes daily aquarium maintenance significantly more pleasant.

Safety has not been forgotten, as the aquarium also has a independent emergency overflow. This provides an additional escape route if the main descent becomes blocked, provided it is installed and maintained correctly.

The hydraulic circuit includes a main downpipe, 40 mm diameter, a 25 mm return to the aquarium and an emergency drain also sized to 25 mm. This design allows for efficient water circulation between the main tank and the sump.

Automatic refilling and a 10-liter fresh water reservoir: more stable salinity

In a saltwater aquarium, evaporation gradually lowers the water level, while salts remain present in the tank. Without regular top-up, salinity can therefore increase and disrupt the balance of the environment, especially for the most sensitive corals.

To simplify this daily management, theAqua Medic Armatus 375 XD White incorporates a automatic filling system associated with a fresh water reservoir of approximately 10 liters. This device helps to compensate for losses due to evaporation and contributes to maintaining a more consistent salinity, provided that the reservoir is sufficiently filled.

There The water reservoir is removable and portable., This makes filling and cleaning considerably easier. No more handling a bulky container amidst the other equipment in the cabinet: the reservoir can be removed and then replaced once filled with reverse osmosis water.

This feature offers significant convenience for reef aquarists, especially when evaporation becomes high during the summer months. It also reduces the need for manual intervention and helps maintain more consistent conditions for the tank's inhabitants.

A marine aquarium designed to accommodate evolving reef equipment

The Armatus 375 XD White provides an excellent foundation for creating a custom reef setup. Its unsupported main tank allows for a wide range of lighting options, while its spacious cabinet and compartmentalized sump allow for the integration of essential equipment without compromising the overall aesthetics.

The filtration system can accommodate, in particular, a Protein skimmer, biological filter media and various water treatment devices. Depending on the aquarium's needs, it is also possible to include a media reactor, parameter control accessories or automated dosing equipment, within the limits of available space.

For circulation between the settling tank and the main tank, Aqua Medic recommends the DC Runner 3.3 return pump, offered separately. Choosing a suitable pump ensures efficient water renewal in the filtration compartments while maintaining comfortable operation.

Thanks to its total volume of 380 liters, This aquarium provides an excellent foundation for developing a diverse marine ecosystem. Its 65 cm depth allows for the creation of different zones with varying levels of light and water flow, enabling the placement of corals according to their specific needs. The setup can thus evolve over time, from a relatively minimalist reefscape to a more complex aquarium with abundant coral colonies.
