ITS-C Cephalopod System

Designed by Iwaki Aquatic and Marine Biological Laboratory specifically for optimizing cephalopod husbandry and flexibility within an aquaria rack system.

  • Structural fiberglass (FRP) rack with leveling feet options
  • System designed to exclude metals when possible for optimal longevity in a salt water environment
  • Designed specifically for cephalopods, but ideal for any other small/medium salt water research organism that 2, 4.5, 9, and 16L tanks would be suitable for
  • Available in stand-alone, flow-through and multi-rack configurations
  • Dual, speed-controlled Iwaki Aquatic magnetic drive pumps for minimal noise, vibration, and constant flow technology. The pumps speed up to maintain flow as the filters accumulate debris
  • Open shelving provides easy access to tanks, water, feed and drain manifolds
  • Titanium chiller and heater options
