    Hi,
    I need advice whether a 1/10 Arctica DBA-075 chiller will be nice for a 2ft tank 60x36x36 = 20gal with a eheim 2222 canister filter?

    eheim 2222 flow rate is about 500 l/h (132US Gal), do you think it can powered the DBA-075? It shows it needs a min of 240gph. Or should I be looking at DBL-38 or DBL-50?
    who sells them here in SG?

    If i get the 1/10 chiller, will it fit a 3ft in future? Or can I use the 1/10 to power 2 canister filter to 2 tanks? Does anyone do that?

    Who sells Hailea chiller? I can find Resun CL280 at the shop but haven't seen Hailea thou.

    Reasons for asking is due to my wife is in love with CRS and Diamond shrimps = my pocket will burn.....

    I just bought 1/5 for my 322 tank from Far East Aquatic. NA carries Arctica as well.

    There is a nice little gem at bioplast... go ask them.. i almost picked it up myself.

    1/10 can power the 2 feet... i have one running on my 2ft.. takes 15 mins to chill it down from 25 to 24. my temperature is kept at 24.5 on average. Takes about 2-3hrs for it to go up to 25 and the cycle repeats.

    I'm running this chiller on a eheim 2028 no probs.

    As for 3ft... i'd use the 1/10 on a 3x1.5x1.5... probably nothing more...

    I just gotten Hailea 130A not too bad, it will kick in about 45-50 mins and running to lower from 26 to 25c in 15mins. How come yours can maintain for 2-3 hrs before it starts again? maybe my place is hotter.
