Tenecor's Marine Ready aquariums are our "ready-to-run" systems, complete with aquarium, in-tank pre-filter(s), pump(s), wet-dry filter and plumbing components.

• These setups employ today's most efficient biologically based "trickle" or wet-dry filters.

• The filters are selected to fit in Tenecor's aquarium stands and provide ample biological filtration.

• They are the most flexible filtration system and are ideal for either freshwater or saltwater fish aquariums, and with the addition of our protein skimmer packages, for marine reef tanks. Although Tenecor does not sell them, other components such as UV sterilizers, heater, chiller etc. can be added to the basic filtration system as needed.

• Marine Ready fish tanks include plumbing components to connect the pump(s), filter and tank pre-filters. These components include vinyl tubing, bulkheads and  fittings, flap check valve(s), and ball valve(s). The valves are provided to control flow from the tank in the event of pump failure and to allow complete shut-off of the system if required.

• Pre-filter configurations of each Marine Ready aquarium are engineered to match pump flow rates as closely as possible, taking into account the height of the fish tank and the aquarium stand. If you are using Tenecor's Marine Ready  system where the tank will be more the 30" to 36" above the pumps you will want to consider the impact of this additional head pressure on over-all system performance.  We recommend you contact a Tenecor sales representative at 602-437-4373 for assistance.

Marine ready filtration systems are offered in acrylic aquarium sizes ranging from 40 to 1300 gallons in all of the shapes Tenecor offers.  The basic Marine Ready aquarium configuration of in-tank pre-filter connected to a wet-dry filter and pump is illustrated in the following diagram:

There are seven filtration systems with different wet-dry filter, pump(s) and pre-filter configurations.  The six most commonly used Marine Ready filtration systems are illustrated on the Marine Ready System Diagrams Page.
