    Found there is a titanium radiator sell at US$3*.00/pcs but need minimum quantity of 10pcs. The size is 200x70x50mm with in/out. Was thinking to add 2 x 80mm low noise fan with low watt pump (3~4w) to maintain water temperature at 26°C. Don't think it can bring down the temperature without help but if it could maintain 26°C, it will be good enough.

    Any bro out there had tried before I throw my money into sea.

    Re: Titanium radiator + fan to replace chiller

    How many pieces are you getting? Are there any other titanium radiator model available?

    The water loop would be titanium and fin is aluminium. Didn't have detail and have to email them for more information.

    The radiator would external where the water will transfer by a small pump pass thru the radiator with support of fan to cool the water before it reach back to aquarium.

    hmmm aluminium may break down easily if the ph of your tank water is low. it may harm the fauna and flora in your tank.

    Understand aluminium or copper is toxic to fish that is why sourcing for titanium. The aluminium is on the fin only where the water loop will be titanium.

    Wanted to share how you use ss pipes to be a cooling device with fan? Don't mind to change if it's work to bring down my aquarium temperature to 26 deg C.

    Re: Titanium radiator + fan to replace chiller

    Check your thread and pretty detail i would say however the idea is without chiller. Is good to have chiller but wanted to try to find a way to keep electricity cost low else no choice.

    using chiller the right way can cut down on bill cost too. full rack setup is like 1 dollar a day.

    Re: Titanium radiator + fan to replace chiller

    if the idea is to use fans to blow at the fins to cool the aquarium water, then this idea will not work.
    the ambient air temperature is not low enough to provide the cooling needed.

    In this case, likely to explore other method like fan blow directly to aquarium with support of auto water top up (Lazy to add water daily) or buy chiller.
