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.
