Standard glass aquariums partitioned with cheap silicone panels often suffer from structural shifting, dynamic baffle leaks, and uninspired layouts that cram essential gear together. The OS-36A completely reinvents the under-cabinet environment, establishing a beautiful 36-inch long command center engineered from solid machine-cut sheet acrylic that unifies your mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration networks into a single cohesive ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted by reef hobbyists for reef hobbyists, the OS-36A optimizes space to comfortably sit under large cabinet framing while offering plenty of physical real estate for oversized support gear. Raw drain water entering the system drops straight into a specialized \u003cb\u003ebubble-diffusing intake chamber driven by dual 1-inch bulkhead inputs\u003c\/b\u003e. This compartment features a custom form-fitting acrylic cover plate that dampens crashing acoustic water noise, stops micro-bubbles from migrating into the display pump intake, and traps salt spray to protect under-cabinet electrical modules from salt creep. For mechanical filtration, the integrated filter sock setup holds a standard media sock for heavy debris capture. For those looking to ditch manual sock cleaning loops entirely, the structural layout is precision-machined to house a direct drop-in Klir Automatic 4-Inch Fleece Filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center of the sump houses an exceptionally wide protein skimmer and media reactor bay governed by an \u003cb\u003eadjustable weir overflow gate\u003c\/b\u003e. By loosening the integrated nylon thumbscrews, you can shift the operational water column height from 5.1 up to 9 inches deep on the fly. This adjustable depth allows you to lock in the exact operational immersion height required by your skimmer's venturi throat, ensuring optimal foam generation without needing to purchase an awkward aftermarket riser shelf. Flanked by an isolated return pump compartment and an expansive built-in 6.6-gallon freshwater top-off reservoir, this robust workhorse serves as a sleek and functional foundation for high-end reef systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat’s Included:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Reef Octopus OCTO OS-36A Acrylic Sump Base
