Water movement comes from SmartDrift and EcoDrift controllable current pumps and DC Runner return pumps. Monitoring covers pH and mV computers and monitors with probes and calibration fluids, plus the T Controller for temperature; mV is redox or ORP, a reading of the water's oxidising capacity. Filtration includes the Turboflotor and EVO protein skimmers, the Ocean Clear fleece roller, Multi Reactor and Plankton Light Reactor, and ozone generators with air dryers.
