Reply With QuoteYES there is alot of coil in the chiller plus the pump is inside also if you all noticed.
its abit trial an error also ..... we dun know how many tries he went thru before achieving
the 22 degree
wonder how he did it. Did he remove his entire freezing compartment?

The pump use to prevent the water inside the tub become ice.
yes but the pump is been cool also by the mini fridge.
i believe in such setups every little bit helps
Bros,
Been super busy over the weekend.
Anyway i just purchased a much thinner hose. (O.D. - I.D.)
Just installed it.
Hope it works this time round.
Note: The below picture shows my previous hose (the thicker one) and the new hose (Thinner one)
Time Log:
2215: 28.1C
0710: Temp is around 26.7C.
Bros.
This morning when i checked. The temp is 25.7C. Whoa. never seen this kind of temp with the fridge before.
If you can maintain at 25-26 is really good enough. But the real test is done in a hot afternoon with lights on. Is you are getting 25C or so congrats.
I think 22C is really too cold for plants other the moss. Don't think you can keep normal fishes in this kind of temp.

Bros. Just came back from work. Went up to my living space and it was horribly hot. Cause never open balcony door. No ventilation. Checked my temp, it was 26.8C. Previously this timing was around 27.8-28.5C.
So i guess the system is more or less stable.
Next step is to bypass the thermostat. Bro unclerobin will help me out. Right bro? ;P
Hopefully it will push down the temp by another 1 - 2C.
Afternoonwise i cannot monitor. But will monitor it during the weekend.
I am planning to keep crs. imagine how much i can save if this project really works out. Cause chiller is way expensive.
Cheers.
Fabian
had to agree to bro Viper , 25-26c are good enough for planted tank but not very sure is it good for crs. for 22c the tank will sweat and will not be able to see clearly what's inside.
no problem bro Fabian just let me know your timing and i try to adjust to go over to by-pass your thermostat but you need to get ready a timer, btw i got an old timer can pass it to you if you don't mind used stuff.
Bro, what other things must i take note of?
By bypassing the thermostat, how much lower can the temperature go?
can't give you any answer for this till you bypass the thermostat,it depend on how big is your freezer and the wattage of the fridgeOriginally Posted by fabby
my diy project can be as low as 24c on my 3 footer tank in the morning

Ooh. just reached home from supper. visual check. T=26C. I on the light at around 9 and off it at around 1020pm. T reached 26.7 - 26.9C.
Bro unclerobin. What tools do you need for bypassing the thermostat? Soldering iron?
I can "borrow" from my workplace.
Heeheehee
Bros. This morning visual check at around 0730 (yes i was late for work)
T = 26C
