We will need all of them. Plus some more ;Nailbiting Can't use our 400W and 1000W MH in the shallow tanks in the temporary Aquarium.;Drool
Can you relay me one of those boxes? They could've "gotten lost along the way"
Gotta love Swedish carriers I had a package DHL claimed "unable to deliver" with a geotag that was 40km awayWe will need all of them. Plus some more ;Nailbiting Can't use our 400W and 1000W MH in the shallow tanks in the temporary Aquarium.
Talking of lost. Two out of three DHL deliveries to us this week are lost, or "they couldn't deliver it". But the third one(and the most fun one) made it!
Five minutes before I had planned to finish work, ten boxes were delivered. We just had to test

From China I think Håkanstorp zoo sells Orphek in Sweden.Where did you get the lights from? Havent seen them in swedish shops..
Stinks that I have been crazy busy at work while your temporary build is picking up steam!This is why I really like to work with the grey plastic containers, big boxes.

First we did the pipes the easy way, over the edge of the sump, but we didn't get enough height difference between the over flow and the sump. So we couldn't have the flow we wanted from the return pump.

Now the height difference are better. Will just have some lunch here, then I'll turn on the return pump again!
Do you think it'll work for ~6000L/h now @Lasse ?
No worries! This will take some time anywaysStinks that I have been crazy busy at work while your temporary build is picking up steam!
Do you have the returns of your top tank tied into the bottom tanks before the sump container?
Such a great feeling when things turn out the way you want! Now we can run the 8000L/h return pump on 100% without flooding the acrylic tanks! ;Smuggrin
Which is good news, because there are larger return pumps on their way! ;Happy
Thanks!Happy to hear you're cranking at 100%! I cannot remember if you posted it or not; are the bigger pumps external, AC driven?
Thanks!
We will try to change over to DC pumps more and more. But we need to go for the not so pricey ones now. And we will use internal return pumps in the temporary Aquarium. Easier that way.
At the moment we use a Jecod DC8000. I'm not a big fan of their earlier return pumps, they felt weak.. But this one seems like more robust.
The pumps we've ordered for these systems are from Aquarium Systems, their DC15000. I think they will arrive next week. It'll be the first time for us trying their DC pumps.

We've used their small and medium size powerheads a lot. A Swedish wholesale has them, so they've been okey in price for us.Thanks for sharing the link to Aquarium Systems. At 14.000lph that pump moves a lot of water for a DC pump! There aren't many options in that flow size available here. Do you know if they are a manufacturer or distributor or both? I wonder where those pumps are made and what the retail price is on them. Oh, I hope you got them donated to you guys!

But then I emailed the company and got even better price if we buy directly from them.
The company is French and I think their products are pretty common in Europe.
Maybe you could send an email to them and check if they sell in the US too.
