Trigger Systems Sapphire Sump – CR44

The CR44 is an extension of the SAPPHIRE series. This model only comes in one size with a slight variation of color compared to the SAPPHIRE series. There are also a few additional features that were added to help make this one special. Some of the features of the CR44 are:

• Interchangeable plates (Patent Pending)
• Configurable input fitting plate (Patent Pending)
• Two additional adjustable input fittings (one 1 and one 1.5) that can be placed in the skimmer section or return section
• Fully enclosed Polycarbonate lid to prevent splashing and reduce noise
• Adjustable water level
• Self adjusting foam block platform (Patent Pending)
• Cable/Hose organizers
• Dual acrylic platforms
• Laser engraved water level indicator
• Four position countersunk probe holder
• Quick connect 1/4 hose input fittings for dosing and ATO inputs
• Protein skimmer section
• Refugium section
• Sapphire blue and Aquamarine blue coloring, solid white bottom to block light and prevent unwanted algae growth in other sections

The CR44 has 4 main sections. Water enters the sump into a dedicated section where the water will then flow over into Section 1.

Section 1 is the configurable interchangeable plate area allowing for filter sock and/or foam block mechanical filtration. This area is covered with a solid polycarbonate lid to prevent water splashing and reduce noise. There is a finger notch in front of the lid to assist with removing it. Water then flows out the bottom of Section 1 into Section 2.

Section 2 is typically where the protein skimmer is located. Water then flows through the Trigger Symbol cutout into Section 3.

Section 3 is the refugium section. The water then flows over the adjustable water level baffle through 2 perforated platforms and under the last baffle into Section 3. The top perforated platform comes with a foam block filter and the bottom one is open to use for several different filtration methods (bag of carbon, bio balls, bio media, rubble rock, etc.).

Section 4 is the return section where the return pump will sit, pumping water back to the display tank.
