The Sapphire series introduces several new features not found anywhere else. Some of the features of the Sapphire sumps are:

  • Interchangeable plates (PAT PENDING)
  • Lid to prevent splashing
  • Adjustable water height
  • Self adjusting foam block platform (PAT PENDING)
  • Dual platforms
  • Protein skimmer section
  • Refugium section
  • Sapphire blue coloring to block light and prevent unwanted algae growth in other sections

Interchangeable Plates

Each Emerald sump comes with two plates that can be placed into Section 1:
  • Filter Sock Plate
  • Foam Block Plate

The filter sock plate is installed when the included 100 micron filter socks are desired.

The foam block plate is perforated with holes and comes with a foam sponge block filter. The foam block plate can be used when filter socks are not desired or in the case when the filter socks need to be changed or cleaned but replacements socks are not readily available but yet mechanical filtration is needed. In this case, simply remove the filter sock plate and install the perforated foam block plate and then place the included foam sponge block filter in place.

Adjustable Water Level

Water level in the sump is adjustable from 7” to 9.5” to accommodate for the water height requirements for different protein skimmers.

Self Adjusting Foam Block

As the water level is adjusted by sliding the wall up and down, the foam block sponge filter and the perforated plate that it sits on will also move up and down automatically. This is important to maintain the correct location of the foam block sponge filter with respect to the sump water height.

Probe Holder

All Sapphire sumps come with a probe holder that can hold up to three probes. The two outside holes are 0.63” in diameter and the center hole is 0.8” in diameter to fit different sized probes.

Hose Holder

All Sapphire sumps also come with 4 holes in the top support brace for holding in place 1/4” OD tubing from reactors, dosing pumps, ATO, etc.

    GREAT SUMP

    Posted by Matt on Dec 16th 2017

    I decided to re-plumb my 300 gal display tank and purchased the trigger 39. I don't know why I didn't buy this sump sooner. it's great. it is handling the flow of an ecotech L1 pump beautifully at about 2600 gph this is a great product the corners are finished very nicely with rounded edges. I can go on and on but I would just say if you want a great sump that's easy to hook up handles massive water flow. don't hesitate buy trigger system sumps.

    Awesome Sump!

    Posted by Chris on Dec 6th 2017

    Let me start off saying this sump is very well made! Plenty of room for all my equipment. Extra large area for my skimmer. I replaced my old 40 breeder sump with this one and the noise level is virtually silent! All in all this sump is the best one I've owned in this hobby and I've had a lot! So if your on the fence about trigger sumps don't hesitate they are well made, very nice quality. Happy Reefing

    Sharp Functional Sump

    Posted by Kurt on Dec 5th 2017

    I am happy with my Sapphire Sump 39 by Trigger Systems. Lots of space for equipment. Almost too sharp to keep in the basement. Easy to plumb even with my 2 inch bulkhead water pipes.
