    Hi,

    Anybody has any info on the Teco TR15 and its price at the shops?

    Which is better TR15 or Teco 680?

    I am thinking of getting a TR15 to replace my Teco 680 (5yrs old), currently runing on a 540 litres tank, running at 25 deg C on a 5 feet tank.


    Any help would be appreciated.




    PS: thinking of clearing my Teco 680 at $250/- if I am to buy the TR15.
    any takers?

    I use the TR10, and own a Articia as well. depending on your needs, the teco takes air from the bottom and expels it from the back, this might not be a big deal, depending on your configuration. For example my article is in a cabinet and the front to back air flow is required,. But I my 2ft tank setup the TR10 air flow from bottom to back allows it to fit inside the 2ft stand.



    Teco is a lot cheaper than Artica, but then no one will come around to clean it for you on a six monthly basis either like articia, plus. Articia chillers allow you to set the temp within 0.1 degree fahinhight. Teco is 0.5 which is a big increment



    The TR range can have a UV internal light option, but have not tried it. They also come with taps that enable you to adjust the water flow or turn off the water when cleaning pipes.

    Since I am not really into critters except cherry shrimp, Teco is probably my next chiller, however if I had a 4ft tank fill of expensive Hino CRS and was going on holiday for 2 months would get an Artica so I could sleep at night,

    I have both. Both are doing their job well. Arctica is more quieter, I would recommend Arctica if you are putting it in the living room and you want quiet environment,

    If I remember correctly Teco is a Italy brand and JBJ Arctica is a US brand. Both serve me very well. If you want to place in your bedroom then I would recommend Arctica - quieter but more expensive.

    Jbj / Artica chillers are so called American brand. Where they are made in I'm not sure. BFG was partially correct. The chillers main concept are bought over by jbj company from a Korean brand. I forgot the name of it thou. If you are interested, you can go bioplast to take a look. They still sells the Korean brand if I'm not wrong. I do not know the price thou.

    On the other hand, teco was actually made in Italy at first till recently it start to be made in china. This I can confirm. It's a Italy brand made in china. Same as ehiem too. Some ehiem nowadays are made in china as well.

    Hope this helps
