German tank

[FF MkII]

I was looking at the dennerle aqua cube from here http://www.aquaristikshop.com/cgi-bin/neu/webshop.pl . It is cheaper than any other in the uk even with delivery. My question is..... would they send me one with english plugs? if not will an adaptor be ok long term?

 

[scatz]

could you not remove the plug and fit a UK one?:dk:
i'd expect it to only come with the european plug

 

[FF MkII]

Yeah could do. will i have a voltage problem with that?

 

[scatz]

dunno mate, it was more an open question, not sure if its possible, but cant see why not.
i'm sure one of the less technically retarded folk will know

The tank is 230volt 50Hz which just so happens is the exact same as UK supply If you do happen to get it with a euro plug (doubt it) then you can buy one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Pin-European-Mains-Adapter-EU-to-UK-Plug-Black_W0QQitemZ150377402224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConsumerElectronics_PowerAdaptors_SM?hash=item2303310f70

Aye, i got mine from a uk company and got the Euro plugs:wb:
Didnt realise until I got everything out properly to set it up, so had to nip to a shop to get two adaptors.

I got mine for a quid each

 

[FF MkII]

What type did you get lisa?

One Looks like this

The other one for the lights is like a transformer with two pins but fits fine in the plugs i got.


just got a couple of shaving adapter plugs. look like a regular plug with two holes on the back
