Iwaki Aquatic ITS-C Cephalopod System

Item#: ITS-C Cephalopod System

The Iwaki Aquatic ITS-C Cephalopod System is an advanced aquatic housing solution engineered for optimal cephalopod care and versatile marine research applications. Built with a corrosion-resistant fiberglass rack and modular tank options in 2, 4.5, 9, and 16 liters, this system provides precise water quality control through a 5x hourly turnover rate, dual speed-controlled magnetic drive pumps, and a comprehensive multi-stage filtration system that includes a biofilter, UV sterilization, protein skimmer, carbon filter, and denitrification filter. Its cloud-based Life Support Controller allows users to remotely monitor pH, temperature, and conductivity while receiving instant alerts for any out-of-range conditions. Designed for quiet performance, flexibility, and easy access to tanks and filtration components, the ITS-C is ideal for cephalopods and other small to medium saltwater species used in advanced aquatic research.
