First attempt on CRS tank

I'm not sure, you can try places like C328, Y618 though I guess your best bet would be Seaview. Call these places to make an inquiry before going down.

Okay thanks ~

This is not a chiller ~ it is a thermostat plug for my fan. There will be a probe thing for you to place in your aquarium water. so let's say you wanna set the temperature range at 25 so when the water hit 25 and above it will kick start the electricity and power my fan on. when it cools to 25 and below it will power off, something like a timer but with temperature control This will help on my evaporation rate as it will control the time on how often the fan will power on instead of just letting my fan run through out the morning

Thanks Bro for replying. I just started a first tank of 3ft, for less than 4mths, still a lot to learn. Got a mixture of deep blue bolt, bkk & prl, which I'm currently setting up a 2ft tank for, too precious to let them cross breed.
Upon seeing your post, I thought a chiller has been made this small & convenience, that's why I was so curious to find out more.
Hope that works well for you. However eventually you'll still have to get a proper chiller for your higher grade shrimps, totally agree with stormhawk. Not just for shrimps, I think plants will grow better too. I don't use CO2 for my tank, but I feel my plants are making good progress, just not as quickly with CO2.

All the best bro

Thanks bro ! for now i will be trying out with low grade shrimp first ~ After i get my chiller i would venture further in to keeping high grade kind do you use a chiller for your 3ft ? . Here is some shots i took yesterday on my fissiden looks better than the first day when i got it ~ No Co2 being used.



The temperature when i came back from work yesterday ~

Hi guys ~ just wanted to check with you all if it is okay if i use a resun CL280 connect to a eheim 2215 for my 1.5 ft tank~Will the chilling rate be affected & will the flow be too strong ?

[AndyPeh]

Hi Bro, the faster the flow rate could the longer it would take to chill the water I think but since a CL-280 recommended flow rate is: 500-1000 L/Hr it should be just right for a 2215.
On the flow you can actually custom a rain bar to decrease the flow rate going into your tank by drilling a few more holes into it. Good luck on the tank!

[stormhawk]

Long term you need to consider the filter getting slower over time due to more waste accumulating within it. Initially it might be okay but over time it will not be sufficient for your chiller.

Thanks bro ! With this info I'm ready to get the canister and chiller hehe )

Yea if I see the decrease in flow rate I think it is time to change the wool inside~
