    I just brought a 2nd hand chiller from a friend.
    As he lost the manuel, i was wondering if i should connet the input of the chiller to the output of the ehimem pump or the input of the ehimem pump to the output of the chiller.

    Make it sound simplier from tank suction , eihem pump or chiller first?

    What temp you guys set your chiller at? I going for 26 deg c but not sure it my discus will hate me or not[]

    Tank -> Filter -> Chiller -> Tank

    You should at least have a pre-filter or simple sponge filter to prevent stuff getting into the chiller.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Dear Squall,

    The reason for the positioning the chiller after the canister is due to the fact that the canister filter does produce a certain amount of heat from the motor its running on. Therefore if the chiller is place prior to the filter, the chilled temperature would not be the presetted temp as it would have climb after it has filtered out from the canister.

    Cheers

    Thanks
    I have connect the chiller after the filter and check for any leaks and fix them.

    Have any try 25 deg c? Will the fish fall sick easily? I intend to bring down the temp slowly.
