Is my chiller under power?

[stainless]

My Teco ra240 take about 2.5 hours to cool my 3ft tank to 26C.

Tank configuration as follows:-

Planted tank.
Tank size - 3ft X 1.5ft X 1.5ft
Tank -> uv -> Eheim 2026 -> chiller -> ext. co2 reactor -> tank
Chiller is placed beside the tank with good ventilation.

Appreciate if anyone can advise is my chiller under power?

Hi I don't think so your chiller is under power cos normally it take 2 to 5hrs to chilled a 3 or 4ft tank. Mine tank specs is almost the same as yours, I currently using 2026 with teco R134 & it takes about few hrs to cool down my tank till 23 or 24 degrees.

Thought that it is abnormal as there is another forumer posting the same issue with it Atman chiller.

Thanks bro. Thinking of sending it for service or upgrading it and you have saved some money for me.
