    I have heard chiller like resun, teco etc etc

    but there is another type which is fan chiller right? like dolphin etc etc
    do they work the same?
    reason why i ask is i saw a tank on display in Sea View where it is not running on resun chiller type but a chinese name fan chiller, it has another box(think it is where the adapter or fan is) connected to the chiller, white and blue in color and it managed to cool the tank with condensation. it has a termo to adjust the temp too. it cost $200 thou but it doesnt produce that much heat compare to the other resun chiller on display.

    any input on this fan chiller?

    if im not wrong. that is a TEM chiller. not suitalbe for 2ft tank. 1ft cube or 1.5ft is better. for 2ft. using a tem chiller is the same effect as using fan.

    If I'm not mistaken, it should be a TEM chiller. Kindda acts like a fan though. Can lower about 2 to 3 degress lower than ambient temperature.

    I also think it is more like a fan but that tank has condensation in during lunch time..... pretty strange....

    does anyone gets condensation with dolphin or the other fan chiller (white colour top and blue bottom (has a knob to adjust the temp) with another box that looks like a power supply)

    How big was the tank with condensate? Is the shop air-conditioned?
    God will make a way, where there seems to be no way

    according to the side below:

    http://www.kryothermusa.com/TEM%20Background.htm

    If the heat generated on the TEM hot side is effectively dissipated into heat sinks and further into the surrounding environment, then the temperature on the TEM cold side will be much lower than that of the ambient by dozens of degrees.
