FAQ > Mechanics > How does it work?
The water flows over all four sides of the aquarium into an overflow channel that runs around the entire perimeter of the tank. There are drains located in this area of the system that allows the water to circulate between the sump and the tank itself. The ZeroEdge Aquarium offers an industry first Integrated Drain Assembly (patent pending). Simply set the ZeroEdge Aquarium on the cabinet stand and the drain connection is complete. It’s that easy. No annoying hassles with bulkheads, clamps and drain hoses. This streamlined plumbing design eliminates leaking bulkheads and drain hoses ensuring years of worry free service. Apart from being easy to set up you will find the draining to be amazingly quiet. It’s gentle channeling of water to the sump also cuts down on evaporation. There is no splashing or fizzy bubbles typically found in standard reef aquariums because there are no drain lines to sumps and messy return lines that agitate the surface water. All you see is a smooth glass-like surface.
