Dymax IQ9 12-Gallon Drop-Off Aquarium

Dymax IQ9 12-Gallon Drop-Off Aquarium – Modern Design Meets Function

The Dymax IQ9 12-Gallon Drop-Off Aquarium brings creativity and performance together in a compact package. Built by Dymax, this sleek acrylic system delivers strength and clarity far beyond standard glass. It fits beautifully into the Aquariums category, offering a rimless look that shows off your aquascape without distraction.

Why the Dymax IQ9 Drop-Off Aquarium Stands Out

The Dymax IQ9 drop-off aquarium creates two distinct scaping zones, giving hobbyists more room for creativity. Unlike other 12 gallon aquariums, this system includes a sliding sump filtration design that works while the return pump keeps running. That means easier upkeep without pausing your setup.

• Durable 1/4-inch ultra-clear acrylic

• Elegant chamfered edges for safety and style

• Impact resistant and stronger than glass tanks

• Freshwater or marine ready with optional skimmer attachment

Built-In Lighting and Flow Control

The included dimmable LED lighting gives you flexibility over brightness and color balance. A microprocessor base lets you fine-tune white and blue light with ease. Meanwhile, the return pump provides adjustable flow control, ensuring water moves exactly how your system needs it.

Easy Maintenance and Upgrade Options

Owners appreciate that the sliding sump tray makes cleaning straightforward. Since the sump continues operating during maintenance, there’s no need to shut everything down. For those who want to expand, the IQ9 also pairs seamlessly with gear in Maintenance & Accessories, including helpful aquarium supplements that support freshwater or reef systems.
