Frequently Asked Questions

Does the La Casa 35 require a sump?

No. The La Casa is an all-in-one aquarium with integrated rear filtration. No external plumbing or sump is necessary. The rear filter chamber accommodates filter media (floss, carbon, Bacteria Hotel Blocks) and the return pump. For advanced aquarists who wish to add a sump, it is possible but not required.

What lighting is recommended for the La Casa 35?

The Manta by Reef Casa 75W is the recommended lighting with its 24" x 24" coverage that perfectly covers the 22" x 20" footprint of the La Casa. It offers enough power for all types of corals, including SPS. The Halo (18" x 18" coverage) is insufficient for the La Casa — it would leave the corners without adequate lighting.

Is the La Casa 35 compatible with the Reef Casa Large Cabinet?

Yes. The Reef Casa Large Cabinet measures 22" x 20" x 36" and is specifically designed for Reef Casa aquariums with a 22" x 20" footprint: the Tide 12, the Laguna 24, and the La Casa 35. The Reef Casa Power Hub also integrates into this cabinet to organize your power cables.
