Chiller against canister filter

[nickyaro86]

Hello all bros, I am intending to start a 2 feet planted tank. Would like to check if there is any chiller that can match with my ehiem Classic 250? Thanks a lot.

hi..through my personal experience using chiller, the optimum flow rate for the canister pump will lessen due to the extra load of the chiller. I believe classic 250 is running at 440l/hr. it will slow down by 15% to 25% depend on the length of your hose and chiller. you can look up the specs of the chillers online where they inform you the minimal flow rate for each model.

Im pairing my Teco TK150 Chiller with an ehiem classic 350 for my 2 ft tank. So far so good

TK150 minimum flowrate is 400l/hr.classic is about 620l/hr.yah..ur rite.it should work nicely.
