The CADE Reef S3/P is a Euro-braced, extra-wide rimless tank made from ultra-clear Opti-Clear glass with precision German Wacker silicone and a laser-etched logo for authenticity. The Eurobrace is complemented with polycarbonate lids and provision for light mounts in the bracing. The wide-body footprint enhances aquascaping depth and coral growth visibility from all angles. The slimline glass weir features triple-level intakes (surface, mid, low) for superior debris capture and emergency backup. Dual drainpipes (main + emergency) ensure silent operation, with tank-side plumbing pre-installed via a base plate system for effortless screw-fit setup. A white laminated base suits bare-bottom or shallow sand beds.

Purpose-built and 900mm tall, CADE S3/P cabinets arrive pre-assembled with sump installed — place the tank and connect plumbing. Built from 100% waterproof, corrosion-resistant materials with concealed magnetic door latches and a powder-coated finish. Dedicated controller panel doors with internal cable boxes, dual power boards with switches, and large dry ventilated zones for chillers and dosing.

The S3/P sump uses a raceway-style flow layout, is roller-mat ready, and includes a Triton Algae Tray (also usable as a frag rack). Media baskets in the biological chamber reduce the need for separate reactors. An integrated ATO reservoir is included (ATO device not supplied).

CADE’s S3/P plumbing uses pre-installed, screw-fit Sanking Flowcolour pipes connected via a tank base plate for fast setup, with dual returns neatly hidden in the weir and feed taps for chillers or reactors.
