New to Copenhagen

[den_]

So, I have another question, given the dimensions of my tank, do you think I would need this new light AND my current lights or do you think the 24 x 24 is enough alone for the whole tank? What do you think?

I think the maxspect nano i enough it is very powerfull and but out high PAR.

I would also use tunze whit a y splitter on, if it can fit in the internal sump

I'm really looking for ideas, what it has stock is a pump which connects to the two outlets which are high in the back wall of the tank. I'm not sure if there's a better way of doing it, so I'm very open to ideas. Of course, where to put the pumps is also interesting.
I actually have two weird hang in things which hold the filter matter, but getting replacements is now impossible as the manufacturer doesn't stock outside of the US so I'm going to have to decide what and how to put to filter in the back area refugium. I'd appreciate suggestions on this too. I like things that are easy and not too messy to change, and don't require changing every 5 minutes!

Thy have im Things and thy are danish

Why not use the stock pump and then buy an adaptor from us til dk pluk?
Otherwise it would be somewhat easier to help if you could take some pictures and measure how much space there is

[dyne]

Ah they don't even show as a stockist on the website, this is great thank you!!

[RichB]

I have emailed them and hopefully they can supply me a replacement original pump with Danish plugs.
I'll replace my stock lamps with one of these if everyone agrees that would work for my tank and permit me to keep anything I wanted:

and then I'll be ready to head out to buy sand, live rock and water to get things set up this Saturday. You guys are awesome, thank you for the help. I will post pics!

No kodyl in dont think it would fit in the sump of the tank as i see it

It does fit.... his aquarium sump is 69.85 millimeters wide according to innovative marine's specifications and the tunze pump is 48mm wide(around 60mm wide with the suction cups on.. i have a spare of these pumps and yes i'm sure i measured correctly)

Why not simply change the plug....take 5 min. and cost u 14 kr.

[RichB]

You're probably right, I'm a bit worried about the idea of changing the plug. I'm no electician. But you might have a point. Maybe that's what I'll try

[RichB]

Slightly off the topic, but i wanted to post a picture of my tank now, it needs a good clean as we had to move fast and I wanted suggestions on cleaning. Can anyone tell me how to post a photo? It looks like most of the info pages are in Danish unless I'm looking in the wrong place

[den_]

Her you go.

If you like to upload more pictures then repeat step 2 and 3, remember the last picture you upload is the picture there is the firste in the post
And when you ready click on ''udfør''

[RichB]

Thank you very much

[RichB]

So, thanks to Den I can post a pic of my current tank state. As you can see I have some cleaning to do, with the stuff in the photo pretty encrusted around the tank, I didn't have much time to remove it we had to pack and move in a rush! What (barring the obvious razorblade) would you recommend to help clean this up?

[leifkrarup]

That is so simple cut the plug an remove insulation from cord ends approx. 3-4 millimeters. Open the new plug fasten the two cord ends with the small screws at the end of the two pins in the new plug.....close the plug and plug it into the socket and you are up and running....it is not possible to do it the wrong way.

[TOSTRA]

It's very simple to change the plug.
Just do as leifkrarup says

Gently remove gravel to avoid scratching the glas, wash the tank with hot water added 1 or 2 drops of mild detergent i.e. Dishwashing detergent. Then dry the tank with a soft cloth. Soak paper towel or similar in winegar and attach it to the sides of the tank and let it soak for some hours, this will dissolve the calciumremains from algae.
Repeat this treatment if necessary.
When al calsium is removed wash the tank thoroughly in plenty of luke or hot clean water.

[RichB]

Thank you all once again, you've been a massive help.

[RichB]

Courtesy of vinegar, water a tiny bit of dish soap and plenty of scrubbing, we're done! I'm replacing the nozzles with the spinning ones mentioned earlier so I didn't clean those up. Off to Decocean on Saturday!

[leifkrarup]

Congrats

[dyne]

[RichB]

Just as a footnote, I'm off to Decocean tomorrow but I ordered some manufacturer specific pieces from Nordicreefshop, and wanted to comment that the service and delivery time has been fantastic.

[RichB]

and after a visit to Decocean, I'm all set up. Some pretty cured live rock and live sand in the box and doing their thing.

Edit: Anyone have any idea why the hell it keeps turning by pictures upside down?

[den_]

Congrats on the new gagdets looks good.
Are you running the light on 100%?
Is the photo turned when you view it on the computer?

[PoulD]

Sometimes it is just an illusion like the picture below. In your case though, I would guess your iPhone is upside down. Volume buttons should be down.

Have you ever beeen in a train on a railway station looking out the window at the train beside yours, wondering if it is your train or the other one which is moving? There might be a slight chance your picture is correct and everything else is upside down

[RichB]

I'm running the light on program which cycles the power through the day and into night on nightlights.
My photo is ok everywhere else bar here, which is weird :/
