The Dymax IQ9 is a new peninsula-style drop-off tank we saw being shown off atInterzooin Germany, 2022. Holding 48 liters (12 gallons) it is being marketed as suitable for fresh and saltwater and comes with a light, pump, and integrated filter. It’s 470mm long x 470mm high x 220mm wide (18.5” x 18.5” x 8.6”) with a pronounced drop-off section and is made from 6mm thick acrylic.
IQ9是一个混合的AIO和污水处理系统,因为它在一端具有熟悉的黑色丙烯酸盒和堰梳,以及在外壳下面的三阶段过滤下方的整齐的拉出底漆。它也可以容纳智商空气驱动的蛋白质脱脂机。照明以Dymax’sown Spacex 48-watt LED fixture. It’s a fan-cooled timer, spectrum and intensity controllable light with buttons and a basic digital display on the light itself, but representing one watt of LED power per liter of tank water it has potential and is more powerful than many lights supplied with AIO saltwater tanks of this volume. A 500lph return pump is supplied, offering just over 10 times total tank volume turnover per hour, and a cabinet is available separately.
Mini drop-offs bring some fun into our hobby and although the actual takeup may be small versus conventional cube orpeninsulas, we can bet every reefkeeper knows exactly how they’d scape and stock it if presented with one. The slide-out drawer in the empty void space isn’t new, but integrating a slide-out sump is, and designing a skimmer into that space too is both novel and well thought out.
