LIGHTS NOT INCLUDED
The Aqua-Pro Reef aquarium range has been professionally designed for today’s reef-keepers. These systems are suitable for beginners right through to those at the cutting edge of the hobby and combines practicality with a modern premium finish. The design allows for marine hobbyists to choose and add their own equipment, building a bespoke sump-based saltwater system which is tailored to their own methods, taste, experience and budget.
With five different models to choose from and 11 colour finishes you can find the perfect solution for your home reef.
Aqua-Pro Reef aquariums are made from ultra clear low iron glass and include a host of features as standard including central overflow weir, multi-chambered sump, top up reservoir and full pipework set.
Aquarium
Constructed from crystal clear, low iron high clarity glass, the aquarium features a braceless design, producing a clean and modern display with easy access for maintenance.
The Aqua-Pro Reef 1200 is 56cm high giving a large viewing area and a manageable depth to the aquarium without looking tall and top heavy.
An internal weir box can become an unattractive focal point in any aquarium, dictating aquascaping and interrupting flow patterns inside the tank. The D-D central 'invisible weir box' has been carefully designed to minimise intrusion into the aquarium and allow a clear view into the aquarium from three sides.
Incorporated into the weir the twin pipe overflow system allows almost silent running whilst the use of the D-D Ultra Flow weir comb allows the maximum amount of waterflow without raising the water height in the aquarium.
- Made from ultra clear low iron glass, with no strapping and fully polished edges to provide the perfect view of your home reef.
- Central weir box to allow for a full unobstructed view into the aquarium from three sides.
- Unique 'Invisible weir box' design in black glass which almost disappears into the back of the aquarium.
- Removeable high flow weir combs for maximum water flow, easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Main overflow pipe fitted with a gate valve as standard for precise flow setting on the main overflow pipe.
- Black vinyl background pre-fitted to the rear of the aquarium to make your aquarium inhabitants stand out.
- Directional return pipe that comes with flare nozzle outlet and random flow generator options included as standard.
- Twin overflow pipe system to allow for safe silent running.
- Black silicone joints.
- Ideal for use with the D-D Slimline lighting brackets and Jump Guard mesh aquarium covers.
Cabinet
The Aqua-Pro Reef cabinet is manufactured and built for D-D in the U.K to ensure a consistent high quality. With a modern sleek design, the cabinets enhance the look of the aquarium as well as being a complimentary piece of furniture for your room.
Each cabinet is delivered pre-assembled in a choice of seven standard finishes and four premium gloss or matt laminate finishes. All come complete with soft close hinges that are fully adjustable and have a quick release mechanism. This allows the doors to be aligned in three directions and easily removed for full access into the cabinet for maintenance. To retain the clean style and contemporary looks the cabinets are fitted with push open mechanisms so no handles are needed.
The back of the cabinet has large openings to allow room for any pipes, cables, etc to be passed through and the open interior provides as much space as possible for equipment.

ClariSea Ready Sump
The Aqua-Pro Reef 1200 comes with a ClariSea Ready multi chamber sump with freshwater top up reservoir. When ordering the aquarium there is an optional removeable filter sock holder that can be included, this can easy be taken out and upgraded to a ClariSea unit at any stage even after the aquarium has been set up.
To suit as many different filtration options as possible the Aqua-Pro Reef 1200 sump has three seporate chambers. The two first equipment compartments are large enough to both hold equipment such as skimmers, media reactors, calcium reactors etc or you can use one chamber as a refugium with caulerpa/cheato. A final section is a generous sized return pump compartment which sits beside the integrated water top off reservoir for the easy addition of an ATO unit.
- 6mm glass construction.
- Filter sock available as option when ordering.
- ClariSea SK3000 and SK5000 Ready.
- Included freshwater top up reservoir.
- Two large chambers for equipment / protein skimmer.
- Return pump chamber.
- Pre-fitted foam base mat.
- Polished and bevelled glass edges.
The latest version of the Aqua-Pro Reef 1200 comes with ClariSea Ready pipework so that the SK3000 or SK5000 model can be fitted in to the first sump chamber without the need for any modifications.
The ClariSea fleece filter is an ultra compact, patented, high efficiency water filtration system, which continuously removes suspended particles such as micro algae, detritus, food, organic waste and gravel dust from the water column to improve water quality and clarity. The ClariSea design has been continuously developed and improved over 4 years, and is suitable for use in both marine and freshwater aquariums, fish-breeding and coral propagation systems.
Unique Central Weir Design and Ultra Flow Weir Comb
The Aqua-Pro Reef 1200 features a central weir constructed in black glass, its slim profile and sloping sides help it to blend in with the black background of the aquarium and allows the aquarium to be viewed from three sides without obstruction. Unlike a standard box weir this unique design does not have hard square edges that can be a hinderance when trying to create a seamless aquascape throughout the length of the aquarium.
As standard the Ultra Flow Weir Comb is included allowing maximum water flow over the weir without excessively raising the water level in the aquarium. The Ultra flow Overflow Weir Comb always maintains a high flow, allowing the use of larger return pumps with a higher flow rate.
The D-D Ultra flow Overflow Weir Comb is designed with a unique arrangement of vertical and horizontal drain slots that allows around 30% to 50% more water to flow through compared to a standard vertical type weir comb, which in normal circumstances, can result in a much higher running level causing excess drain down in the event of a power cut or in the worst case scenario the aquarium overflowing.
For maintenance the weir comb can easily be removed and cleaned.
The return pipe conveniently passes through the front of the weir keeping it neat and securely in position. A 3D printed flow generator and wide outlet nozzle attachment option come with the tank allowing the flow coming from the sump to be directed and tailored to suit your reef.
