Once all the visible edges are diamond polished, the pieces are individually hand routed with a chamfer bit that leaves them smooth to the touch. The cut pieces are then transferred to a Weeke ABP 310 diamond edge polisher. It all starts with a new sheet of Lucite acrylic which is first machined on an SCM Pratix N15 CNC router. Each machine specializes in a unique task that adds value which is apparent in the finished product. It would be rather easy to machine the Ghost™ overflow using one CNC router, but we don’t do easy, we opt for a much more intricate process with multiple state of the art machines to achieve an extraordinary finish. The Reef Savvy™Ghost™, is good ol’ fashion Reefing Americana. We use Lucite continuous cast exclusively for our acrylic, Spears for our fittings, and the bulkheads and gaskets we use are made right here in Florida. Not only is our overflow made in the USA, but so are the materials we use to make them. This will allow for a true Plug and Play setup, as well as easy modifications or future changes to your plumbing configuration.Īs with everything Reef Savvy™, the new 21″ Ghost™ is 100% built in-house and supported by Reef Savvy™. Our Direct Connect fittings are Slip x FPT slip on the inside, and threaded on the outside. In place of the bulkheads, we weld and triple seal the Direct Connect fittings for an impenetrable bond. By eliminating the bulkheads flange and gasket, we’re able to achieve an unimaginably low profile.
Traditional bulkheads have an oversized flange designed to compress the gasket. That’s a 1″ thinner if not more than any other overflow.ĭirect Connect: The new Ghost™ only uses bulkheads for mounting the overflow, not for plumbing it. Ultra slim external box: The new 21″ Ghost™ is an unprecedented 2.5″ front to back. 375″ thinner if not more than any other overflow. Ultra slim internal box: 1.25″ front to back, that’s. Modified Bulkheads: The mounting bulkheads are countersunk and chamfered to reduce profile and improve fluid dynamics. Polycarbonate cover: Warp resistant 3/8″ heavy-duty polycarbonate cover. Laser cut slots: 53 precision laser cut 1.125″ slots allow water to flow smoothly while providing an added failsafe over small slots than can easily clog. Water level: Can be set with the template prior to drilling the tank, and can be approximately 1.5″ from the surface or lower when running. Removable weir: Pocket & tab design keeps weir in place and allows for easy weir removal.
Hand assembled individually in-house by Reef Savvy™ craftsmen. From the materials we use, to the machining and assembly process, every aspect of the Ghost™ has been thoughtfully taken into consideration.Įngineering: Tongue and groove design all the pieces interlock, and the bonds have three times the contact area creating a stronger overflow.įit & Finish: CNC routed, diamond polished edges and laser cut. Although, there are bargain brand imports and mass-produced mold injection overflows that bear a superficial resemblance to the Ghost™, a closer look will reveal just how different they really are. It is the culmination of a lifetime of reef keeping experiences, backed up by 20 years of aquarium design and fabrication. It’s the perfect marriage between aesthetics and functionality. The Reef Savvy™ Ghost overflow™ is simple, sleek, and most importantly dead silent.
