er.. i know that.
thats why i said in my opinion.
you are posting here seeking advise from people who used chillers before am i right?
thats why i'm proposing to you my advise after i used a 1/13 hp chiller on a 2 feet tank.
Zack
You can get more info here, especially post no 37, you can get the calculator to decide which size you need.
Thank you for input. I definitely take it into consideration. I now thinking to get the 1/10 model. but it's 1.5yrs old, just went for servicing. same price 550.Originally Posted by ZackZhou
should I take the 1/10 or 1/15. more advise please.
still learning the hard way!!
Advisable to get a one step higher so that chiller would not overwork.
Hi Ta, swung by a lfs just now and helped you asked the price of brand new Artica chillers.
1/15hp $600
1/10hp $800
Zack

ok I gettjng the 1/10 Attica chiller but I use a eheim 2213 is the flowrate enough or I need to get a bigger filter
still learning the hard way!!
Not quite enough. But still can be used as Artica's temp prob is located at the inlet of the machine itself. 2213 only has a flow rate of 440l/hour. You need preferably at least 600l and above thou.
Zack
using eheim 2213 my tank already like a wirlpool.Liao buy a bigger filter my tank how?
still learning the hard way!!
make bigger holes for your rain bar outlets will slow down the flow by a lot.

I was thinking buying 2215 as the flowrate is about 660lph connect to 2213 then to the chiller to the tank
still learning the hard way!!
hehe, i may suggest you getting a 800-1000 lph rated canister.
after you put in all the media, the flow will drop 10-20%.
if a canister is rated at 660LPH. its actually measured before any media is placed in.
lets say u use 660lph, 80-90% will leaves you 528-594LPH
just me evil-cent

adding chiller will also reduce the flow further.
1/10
Flow Rate: 240 - 260 gph
1/15
Min-Max Flow: 150-200gph
ok maybe I get eheim 2217 connect to chiller to tank. then sell the eheim 2213
still learning the hard way!!
