Lighting the Way to Innovation: Georgia Aquarium on MDM’s Colossus Pumps
At MDM Pumps, it’s our mission to build equipment that stands up to the most demanding aquatic environments—and to support the world-class professionals responsible for the animals within them. That’s why feedback from partners like the Georgia Aquarium isn’t just appreciated—it’s a validation of everything we aim to do.
“”The feedback we’ve been receiving from the Georgia Aquarium has been extremely encouraging. After installing our Sequence® Colossus DC 750 pumps in the Flashlight Fish Exhibit, their aquarists and facilities teams have been so impressed with the performance and reliability that they’re already planning to expand their use of the platform. That kind of response from a world-class institution like Georgia Aquarium speaks volumes about the value these pumps deliver in demanding life-support environments.””
— Ben Ashe, CEO, MDM Pumps
Supporting Complex Systems with Simplicity and Power
The Georgia Aquarium is one of the most advanced marine institutions in the world, and its systems are no exception. When their team integrated two Colossus units into a 1000+ gallon flashlight system, they needed flow reliability, low downtime, and intuitive servicing. The Colossus delivered.
Flashlight systems—used for nocturnal animal care, equipment inspection, coral fluorescence viewing, and emergency response—require quiet, stable circulation and rapid recovery in the event of maintenance or lighting disruptions. MDM’s Sequence® Colossus pumps offer just that: durable, high-flow performance tailored for specialty and mission-critical systems like these.
Why the Colossus Fits
Here’s what makes the MDM Colossus ideal for sophisticated aquarium environments:
- High-efficiency hydraulics: Engineered to reduce energy use while maximizing head and flow.
- Corrosion-resistant build: Perfect for saltwater, reef, and marine exhibits.
- Low-vibration operation: Essential for animal welfare in sensitive tanks.
- Serviceable by design: Easy maintenance keeps animal care teams in control and downtime to a minimum.
The result? A pump trusted by aquarists, loved by facilities teams, and built to exceed the expectations of some of the most discerning LSS operators in the world.
More Than Equipment—A Partnership
The feedback we received from the Georgia Aquarium team reinforces what we strive for at MDM: lasting partnerships with those who safeguard aquatic life. From the bustling exhibits to the behind-the-scenes systems, we’re proud to play a role in delivering reliability and peace of mind.
