Hi all, after 2 years hiatus for work and new home, i present you my new project!
Dimension is 4 x 1.5 x 1.2 ft for the top,centre partition tank and 2 x 1.5 x 1.2 ft for the bottom tank.
Top tank will be chilled by 2 X marine grade stainless steel pipe.
Bottom tank will be the holding tank for chilled water.
Moveable Undergravel Filter 20 x 20 x 30cm with 1 litre of Ehiem Subtract media and topped up with 2.5 litres of ADA aquasoil each.
Filling up!
added BT 9, Ototto PSB Bactria and old sea mud. waiting for it to clear!
water is crystal clear now. haven't check the water parameter yet.

1 week of cycling and the pH is between 5.6-5.8. looking good!
tap water pH is at 7.2.
SS pipe connected and added 20 snow whites in to test water for each tank yesterday. pH 5.3, Gh 1, NO3 0 and temp maintained at 26°C
so far no casualty.
Snow Whites, 1 just molted.
Day 23 since setup, day 9 since the commando snow whites are in the tank. all commandos surviving well. pH 5.3, gH 1, NO3 0, temp 26°C

Pro setup man !! U plan to breed KK, PRL, Bluebolt is it?
Nice setup!
How does the "holding tank chilled water to steel pipe radiator" system work? Is there a chiller installed? For a brief moment, i almost thought the metal pipes were to be somehow connected directly to the refrigerator system (since its situated next to the kitchen fridge).
using frozen ice bottled water in the bottom tank ?
Sound like bottom tank is for chilled water storage... but no insulation.. the ice will melt off very fast..
The cooling coil in the tank is abit too little.. I believe TS only can reduce the temperature till 25 degree with the bottom chilled water at 1 degree C
Nice set up. Your setup make reset the tank so easy to do.
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Maybe Eviltrain is going to purchase a styrofoam box and place it inside the smaller tank to keep the chilled water. Either he use a lower hp chiller or use a diy mini fridge to chill the water. Can't see the pump clearly but that is another heat source to think about.
Don't keep us waiting for your unveiling!
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
due to CO order. i can only keep anything which is blue and white or both. lolOriginally Posted by Dscheng
there will be a HS28 chiller to be installed. haha alot of oversea hobbist chill their tanks using fridge.Nice setup!
thank you!)

will be installing a chiller by this week.
yah around there. 25-26 degree C is more than enough for Caridina Sp.
ya. i just wants to make this setup as low maintance as possible
thats a good idea too. i have some experience with SS pipe before. so this setup will be able to let me keep my bills as low as possible.

Welcome back Bro. I also restarted my shrimp keeping recently but mine is nowhere near to yours.
I remembered browsing your thread few years back. Learnt a number of things that you have shared before.
Subscribed to this new thread and can't wait to see more update.
from 14L to 8L tank.
haha thanks for dropping by my thread again. its always good to share the knowledge with fellows hobbyist.Welcome back Bro. I also restarted my shrimp keeping recently but mine is nowhere near to yours.

Welcome back and congratulation on getting your new place.
Nice set up.Where did you get your S pipe?
thank you, the SS pipe i got from a fellow hobbyist 2 years ago. haha
thanks. its my CO's idea

Zerofighter, you looking for DIY SS tubing? I can help you out if you need similar coil..
is your SS pipe marine grade? it would be disaster if its those chrome pipe.Zerofighter, you looking for DIY SS tubing? I can help you out if you need similar coil..

SS316L Marine Grade Tubing.. lol.. my current work is doing this business.. haha
ah... nice. i just wants to double confirm.

Heehee.. but Stainless steel material not that good for heat transfer.. copper is the best.. hahaha...
ok will pm you .
