If you guys are going to try, let me noe.
I wanna try too..
I'm keepin shrimps on one tank, so should be around 23- 25 degrees for that.
The other i want to maintain around 26-28 degree, because my ambient air temp is around 30 degrees.
And I'm thinking my idea is not suited for marine aquariums which temps are much lower.
My old marine tank I use to keep at around 16-18 degrees, which helped my corals to furish. But to exp to upkeep hehehe,
and my old equip all sold off, and now I want to keep a planted aquarium.

based on my opinion, using TEM or radiator, the output temp should not be less than the ambient temp.Originally Posted by heeroyu16
BTW, please do not think that it is a 'crazy' idea. whether workable or not, it gives us a chance to discuss and evaluate the feasibility. i've learnt from the discussion and inputs from you guys.
Yup, agree! With all this feedback, then I can see if our ideas can be feasible
it the temperture you want is 23c than it is abit hard..25c should not be a problem..
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
16-18 degrees for marine tank?! That's too low temperature. You really need thick glass to keep the temperature that low. I was told 25 degrees is enough.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
16-18c, would'nt the tank be having condensation on the glass??

When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?
only in the morning
The shop i used to go to was along Bendemeer, he sold me the entired tank + cabinet for around 7k(paid by father
It came with all the equipment cep the fishes, and the boss there recomanded me this setting.
surely I was kana chopped(cai tao) but then that was the past
Oh ya the glass was thick and solid, sold the entire set for around 4.5k. and electric was shooting up hehehe (mother was always nagging 4 ppl elec bill was around 400+.. hehe)
I used uv light for the night light as the tank came equipt with a timer all i had to do was to maintain the ph, check the salt and amonia, nitrate and stuff..
of cos buy fishes and marine fishes was not cheap, I worked part time just to buy a lion fish and man it was so cool...(miss the old marine tank)

hmmm.... uv light for the night light? Is that a UVC?
silane
ultra violet light, it has a glow in the dark like effect. The corals really glows like some errie looking plant. If you get those orange sponge like corals (it look like a tree with branches jutting out without the leaves) it really looks cool.
Now i have another idea... Using it in a planted aquarium... ^_O
"Any cooling based on air ventilation is limited to the temperature of the air."
I'm not sure of the intent behind the statement (as in, air ventilation)
but evaporative cooling is limited by the rate of evaporation. (which is in turn limited by the humidity of the air)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooling
in my opinion, if you want to play with peltier coolers, go get a professional setups like the ice probe or various TE chillers out there (by azoo, teco etc). however, they too are limited and useful only for 2ft tanks.
at the end of the day, if you diy, the end result is an ugly eyesore in most cases even if it works. and the initial costs will be a low component of the electrical costs in the long run, so you might as well fork out for a nice looking chiller.
Righto, so far I seen redsun chiller on recent threads, is it any good?
You guys psycho-ed me to drop this project.. anyways thanks for the feedbacks
Appreciate the help.
