Chiller & Canister recommendation .

[titusxc]

Hey man, if im not wrong, eheim 2215 does have lower flowrate. HS28-a is good actually, it was supposedly a newer model to replace hailea 150a.
I would say let it run for a couple of weeks and see how things goes. Perhaps its just for my case that it kicks in and out frequently.
I did my modifying by refering to Bro Gryphon's thread.

Just head down to Sim Lim Tower B1 and look for the shop called Acez Instruments. The external thermoprobe is about $20 or so, cant really remember exactly. The picture illustration on Bro Gryphon's thread will guide you through the modifying. Just that the dismantling is a little different where hs28a is a screw to remove the entire front panel. You might want to purchase the same connector so you can just connect it straight to your chiller without having to cut any of the cables / wires from another shop in SLT at level 3 or 4 at a corner.

haha.. now is canister not strong enough >< thanks bro for the tips and guides. then i will go ahead with the HS28-a and see how things turn out and for the external probe, how do you wired out of the panel? wont it leave a gap?

Just dont tighten then front panel too much, the cable i let it come out from below the panel.

Have a question here. Is it possible to have a 1/10 chiller cooling 2 tanks of 2 feet?

Oh... okay maybe i will do a small slot for the cable on the panel when the time i modify the chiller ^^ anyway thanks alot for the replies... finger cross for my 1st journey with the canister and chiller.

I use eheim 2213 and is causing a whirlpool in my 2ft tank. I will be getting a chiller and a prefilter to slow it down

HOw about getting lily pipe to slow the flow??

[Neondagger]

it's currently using a rainbar and I submerged it into the water. but still causing whirlpool. I not sure how lilypipe would slowdown the flow

[Jianyuan]

Titusxc, when you unscrew the front panel, theres a catch for the panel to be fitted in on the top. Thats why my cable i let it come down from below and i can still screw in the panel but not too tightly as i do not want to spoil the cable.

Neondagger, why not play around with the angle of your rainbar and redirecting it to your tank wall. After time, your filter will be dirty and clogged up and thus reducing your flowrate further.

[titusxc]

Oh i see.. haven explore yet =) but will take note of it. thanks bro!

Yep my 2224 flowrate slowed down so much for my 2ft that i had to full throttle it to at least achieve a decent flowrate(using rainbar).Especially if you are using a prefilter which might get clogged over time

bro, saw a lfs have an on/off adaptor at the outflow pipe of the caniter/ chiller to control the flow rate. maybe you can try this method?
