  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Fig. 1)
  • Page 5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Read the instructions carefully and fully prior to putting the aquarium into operation and store it in a safe place. • When using electrical equipment in or in close proximity to the aquarium, observe the instructions of the respec- tive manufacturer.

  • Page 6: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS FOR AQUARIUM ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: • At least 2 persons with sufficient physical strength are required for assembly • Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, scissors for silicone cord • Ready an underlay for intermediate placement of the aquarium (e.g. carpet, towel) • Do not use blades to remove the protective film or open boxes, because these can scratch the aquarium, cabinet or doors...
  • Page 7 ASSEMBLY • Ensure sufficient and regular ventilation of the room. • In order to guarantee sufficient space for cables and ventilation of the cabinet, the rear side of the OPUS ® should exhibit a distance of approx. 8 cm (3 in) from the wall.
  • Page 8 ASSEMBLY STEP 2: UNPACKING • The box can be lifted off and removed in one piece. • Now prepare the underlay for intermediate placement of the aquarium (e.g. carpet, sheet, hand towel). • Carefully lift the aquarium out of the cabinet with the help of a second person. When doing so, make sure the aquarium remains straight and level when lifted out, to avoid damage to the cabinet. Set the aquarium down on the prepared underlay and remove the protective film from the aquarium.
  • Page 9 ASSEMBLY STEP 3: POSITIONING THE CABINET, AQUARIUM AND SUMP • Align the cabinet horizontally at the final installation site by unscrewing the feet. • Carefully place the aquarium on the cabinet with the help of at least one further person. Align the aquarium cent- rally so that the gap between the cabinet and aquarium is evenly sized on all sides.
  • Page 10 ASSEMBLY STEP 4: PREPARING THE SUMP • The transparent acrylic panel with the two PVC threaded connections is fastened at the rear right on the sump with the two transparent plastic screws (Fig. 2). • Install the filter sock in the sump at the rear right (Fig. 3). (Fig.
  • Page 11 ASSEMBLY STEP 5: INSTALLING THE PIPEWORK • Perform a general check before installing the pipes to ensure all O-rings are in the correct place. • Start with the straight pipes (Fig. 4). Guide these in from below through the holes in the cabinet, and then screw tight in the overflow box (hand-tight, do not over-wind, tool is not required).
  • Page 12 ASSEMBLY STEP 6: INSTALLING THE REFILL TANK • The refill tank belongs in the left chamber of the sump (return chamber). We recommend that the Auto Top Off system be installed only after the aquarium has been filled with seawater (see page 22, step 4). • The cover panels can now be laid on the left and right chamber of the sump.
  • Page 13 ASSEMBLY STEP 7: INSTALLING THE PUMP OUTLET • An outlet port is located in the overflow box for the pump outlet. This can be simply fitted on the pump outlet in the aquarium.
  • Page 14 ASSEMBLY STEP 8: FITTING THE DOORS • First attach the hinges to the doors using the pre-drilled holes and the screws provided (part number 29) (Fig. 8). • Now attach the doors with hinges to the cabinet using the pre-drilled holes and the screws provided (part num- ber 29).
  • Page 15 ASSEMBLY STEP 9: INSTALLING THE CABINET LIGHTING • The LED lighting can be fastened in the cabinet at the top right or top left (see sketch). Before fastening, check that it switches on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed.
  • Page 16 ASSEMBLY STEP 10: FITTING THE SILICONE CORD • The silicone cord provided is evenly pressed into the gap between the aquarium and cabinet. • Start on the rear side of the aquarium, roughly in the centre beneath the overflow box. • Fit the silicone cord with a little excess material at the corners of the aquarium, so that the corners are comple- tely filled.

    4. The middle chamber is the skimmer chamber with a constant water level. It is also possible to install further filters here, such as a media reactor (Nyos TORQ ) for ®...
  • Page 18 FUNCTIONALITY AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED 6. In the chamber, far left, the water is fed back into the display tank via the return pump. Because the water level in the return chamber varies, compensation for the water lost through evaporation takes place via the Auto Top Off system.
  • Page 19 TORQ Skimmer chamber of the sump ® ® INFORMATION ON THE RETURN PUMP: • The maximum pump capacity of the Nyos OPUS ® ® return pump must not exceed 2,000 l/h (530 gph). If this is exceeded, the display tank could overflow!

  • Page 20: Starting The Tank

    STARTING THE TANK VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUTTING INTO OPERATION STEP 1: REEF CONSTRUCTION AND SAND: • We recommend to arrange the aqua scape whilst dry, before filling the aquarium with seawater. This is sig- nificantly easier than arranging the reef construction underwater.
  • Page 21 STARTING THE TANK • Once the display tank is almost full, the water starts to flow into the sump via the overflow box. Monitor the water level in the sump. Once the water level in the return chamber is approx. 15cm (5,9 in), switch on the return pump.
  • Page 22 STARTING THE TANK STEP 4: INSTALLING AND SETTING THE AUTO TOP OFF SYSTEM • Only use the Auto Top Off system after filling the aqua- rium, i.e. once the water is at the correct level and the valve is correctly set. • The water level in the return chamber can be set with the angle of the Auto Top Off system.

  • Page 23: Maintenance And Care

    Rinse out the filter sock under running water or wash it in the washing machine on a cold setting. We generally recommend keeping a number of filter socks in stock (Nyos filter sock, article no. OPSP_0647, part no 21). ®...
  • Page 24 MAINTENANCE AND CARE AUTO TOP OFF SYSTEM: • The refill tank contains water for a number of days (de- pending on the ambient temperature, water temperature, etc.). Make sure there is always sufficient refill water (osmosis water) available, otherwise the return pump can run dry and the water exchange between the sump and display tank will be interrupted.
  • Page 25 MAINTENANCE AND CARE • Make sure no water is present inside the cabinet, around the sump. DISPL AY TANK: • When cleaning the panes of the display tank and sump with a scraper, make sure the blades do not damage the silicone seams.
