Large aquaria - equilibration tank:
If the reserve volume of the filter tank is not sufficient with large aquaria to take up water during a
pump failure, an equilibrium tank has to be added. Possibly, you can get an appropriate tank from
your local aquarium manufacturer. This tank has to be fixed at the filter tank with a pipe
connection. The circulation pump sucks water from the equilibration tank and pumps it into the
aquarium.
5. Automatic top-up system
The Reef 2000 is supplied with an automatic top-up system. The storage tank (5) is filled with pre-
treated tap water (reverse osmose). The tank can be re-filled during operation without opening the
lid. At the right side, there is a hole for the included bulkhead fitting and hose connector. The water
can be filled by a hose and help of a pump or from a bucket.
The level sensor that is connected to the peristaltic pump is fixed in the filter tank with the rubber
succers. The height where it is fixed depends on the aquarium (see item 4 water level). The sensor
has to be fixed as low as possible, but minimum in a height that the pumps do not suck in air or
run dry, and maximum in a height that the filter tank can take water flowing back from the
aquarium when the pumps are shut off.
To prevent any accidents, the rubber succers of the level sensors can be glued to the filter tank
with a drop of silicone – once the optimum position has been determined.
6. Installation of the filter
When the plumbing is finished and all joins are dry, the system is ready to use. The following
points should be checked:
- Are all unions tight? Maybe, they have to be tightened. Check for leaks.
- Is the water distribution between trickle filter and
Turboflotor
ok, so the skimmer operates
perfectly.
- The pumps at the
Calciumreactor
and the
Nitratereductor
must be filled completely with
water before they are taken into operation.
