Butcherman's 4ft tank

[butcherman]

Tank is looking really nice by the way!

Thanks

I would leave them they look cool in there

Im not disputing the fact that it looks good... im only dreading when those grapes/bubble start comming loose and clog up all the pumps and skimmer.

[butcherman]

SO.... in preparation for the proposed load sheading, i need to install this:

now all i need is a proper 12v battery and tricle charger

 

[sweetnsour]

Nice one buddy!

 

[butcherman]

I'm hoping that i can run ing off the battery for a good few hours

 

[dallasg]

cool, pls pm me what u paid for it etc

 

[Jaco Schoeman]

Dude, give me more info on that please... What is it exactly and costs etc?

 

[butcherman]

What is it exactly and costs etc?

This is a +- a 3000l/h return pump that runs off 220v AC or 12v DC.

It automaticaly switches over to a 12v battery if the power goes out.

you can also control the pump via a tunze controller,

VERY LOW-NOISE OPERATION
Silence electronic and e-jet electronic have been designed especially for low-noise operation.

• Flow rate at 15 V: 800 to 1,800 l/h (211 to 475.5 USgal./h).
• Flow rate at 24 V: 1,100 to 3,000 l/h (290.5 to 475.5 USgal./h).
• Hmax. at 15 V: 1.9 m (74.8 in.).
• Hmax. at 24 V: 3.9 m (153.5 in.).
• Energy consumption at 15 V: max. 20 W.
• Energy consumption at 24 V: max. 43 W.
• Voltage / frequency: 100 – 240 V / 50 – 60 Hz.
• Cable length: 5 m (196.8 in.).
• Dimensions without outlet and suction cups: 118 x 94 x 75 mm (4.6 x 3.7 x 2.9 in.).

I bought it from George at Aqua Africa (a sponsor)

Just need to get a battery and charger now... and hopefully my loadshedding woes will be less

 

[Jaco Schoeman]

Price? I have been looking for this type of thing for a long time... All I need in my NPS tank is to keep the return going... Flow, lights and temp is not so important, but oxygen is crucial...

Thanks mate!!

 

[butcherman]

I have rescaped the left hand side of the tank to make more caves and allow better flow between the rocks.
