NUVO EXT 50 Gallon Aquarium Complete Reef System

The NUVO EXT 50 Gallon features approximately 50 gallons of aquarium volume in a 30" long footprint. Its wide front-to-back dimensions provide room to build depth into your aquascape, arrange rock structures, and give corals room to grow.

The aquarium is constructed with 10mm high-clarity low-iron glass, diamond-edged flat-polished edges, and black silicone. A pre-installed rubber leveling mat supports the tank on its stand.

The external all-glass overflow box sits behind the aquarium, leaving the display free of an internal overflow box. A laser-cut black acrylic weir and slot-cut rear glass panel direct water into the drain system. A Herbie-style arrangement includes a primary drain and an emergency drain, providing an additional drainage path if the primary becomes obstructed.

2 1" drain holes and 1 3/4" return hole connects the aquarium to the included plumbing. The primary drain gate valve lets you fine-tune flow for quiet operation.

The included plumbing kit is premeasured and pre-glued to fit this aquarium and sump combination. It connects the aquarium's drains and return to the sump using PVC bulkheads, unions, and a primary drain gate valve designed for saltwater use.

Assembly requires tightening the bulkheads and unions, eliminating the PVC measuring and cutting that comes with building a reef system from scratch.

The RFS23 sump provides space to house filtration beneath the aquarium. Reinforced double-walled acrylic frame construction, drain-silencing plates with a filter sponge, and polycarbonate lid covers help create a quiet dedicated filtration area.

An adjustable water-height baffle lets you set the protein skimmer chamber to suit your equipment. Included acrylic media cups and Fiber Ball media provide mechanical filtration, with support for 4" filter socks as another option.

• Laser-Etched Water Level Indicators on the Front and Side
• Refugium Chaetomax LED Light Bracket; Light Sold Separately
• 1/4" and 1/2" ATO Return Hose Barbs

The included MightyJet XL submersible DC return pump delivers up to 2,656 GPH and offers seven speed settings through its controller. Adjust the pump output to suit your system, and use the one-touch feed mode during feeding.

Quiet DC operation and run-dry protection add everyday convenience.

Available in black or white, the APS stand uses anodized aluminum for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant foundation that won't warp or swell. Pre-cut closed-cell PVC foam boards, integrated hardware, and top and bottom magnetic door latches complete the cabinet.

The stand arrives semi-assembled and includes a hex torque wrench for setup. Its spacious interior accommodates the included sump, while side access doors make it easier to reach plumbing and filtration equipment during maintenance. A leveling frame with adjustable feet helps you level the system in its final location.
