    Nice looking hi-tech nano, how's the operation time period for this chiller on your tank?

    No good.

    Chiller set at 25 with ambient 27. Chiller kicks in every 30mins and takes another 30mins to cool to 25.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    will there be flow issue when the canister is sitting side by side the tank? my 2224 always give me problem even though it is sitting slightly lower than my tank.

    Issue like reduced flow? Of course what more with a chiller connected. But it's enough for this tank with around 10 liters of water.

    what I mean is sometimes if you move it around, the flow will stop and need to start sucking water again...

    My filter is using 12mm hose. I use 9 mm hose for my inlet/outlet. I will have issue too with no flow if I use 12mm for inlet/outlet. Try it see if it works.

    I had tested with Gex chiller which is tall on my 36cm tank(slightly bigger than the HC 30cm tank but not by much) which work. 12mm hose completely no flow until I use 9mm hose. Just insert the 9mm into the 12mm no need to get reducer.

    In the end decided to put away the Gex chiller and use the TEM chiller instead. It's bigger than my HC tank.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    I notice the temperature set in the chiller is 26.5. I thought with fan also you can acheive that temperature.

    Correct me if I am wrong

    A lot depends on the ambient temperature. For both fan and TEM chiller. Only the latter there is no need to top up water.

    Thanks for the details on the chiller operation. And your right, fan can bring down to that temperature depending on the surroundings. But I still got flamed for claiming this on my post when I wanted to sell my set up with a fan.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    my tank using fan can never achieve 26 degrees... always hover around 29 to 31 degrees
    and when I removed my fan it still hover around 29 to 31 degrees......
    don't understand why..
    and I have a digital and a alcohol thermometer in the same tank.

    Day 30 : Growth is slow but it's ok since I have only 6 hours of photo period. They will carpet eventually and I didn't want too fast growth as it mean more work.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    Bought another 2.85 gallon tank. I like working with small tank...less soil, less water, less work and less everything especially $$$.

    Ran out of idea, or because I couldn't find any stones I like for scaping hence only just soil.

    Had 5 layers of light diffuser to hold the slope...hope it's enough.

    Probably Monte Carlo to carpet because I will not be having chiller for this setup. And my Brownie Ghost.

    Hello, gnesnah.

    Out of curiosity, will you be using the same model of filter and injecting CO₂ for this tank setup?
