Chiller setup qurries

**muthubaba** · 26th Mar 2012, 16:14

Hello hello!

Intrestingly Good forum. Learnt Many Things.
Would therefore like to ask my own questions and hope you people can help me out a little here.

I would like to know some stuff before i get a chiller for my tank. First of all... some of my specs so that you people can help me

Tank: 2 feet
Filter: Eheim 2213 with media
Substrate: ADA Aquasoil
Cooling: Dymax W8 Cooling Fan
Plants: Hornworts, Frogbits, US Fissyy, Java and Weeping(some on DW some on SS)
Light: Aquazonic T5 2tube white light

Would like to chill Tempreature Between 23-25 deg c. For Shrimp purposes.
Would like to get reccomendations of selecting a chiller Brand and model(would like to know the price too if you guys can remember). Filter if I remember correctly is 440L/Hr flowrate.

I would like to know what kind of noise it produces and how loud it is as well as the setup will be in my room.

Would i need a heater as well? because in the night air con is turned on and the tempreature would get lower.

Also would like to know if my eheim 2213 pipe size will be able to fit the chiller. Sorry for my noob question. do not know anything about chillers.

Also i do not have plans to upgrade to any tank bigger than 2 feet in the near or not so far future.

Thank you People! Hope to get some lovely response!
XOXOXO

Have been reading up and learned about the Hailea HS-28A is not a bad chiller. Is it suitable to match with my filter?

**Navanod** · 27th Mar 2012, 14:51

I'm not sure about the flowrate match, but the chiller comes with 16/22 and 12/16 hose connectors, which the Eheim classic canisters should be able to use.

I see. Will you happen to know where this model is available in Singapore LFS? I went down to Y618 yesterday but they dont have much chillers besides the few they have which are the very powerful horsepower ones.

Not sure if the other LFS has restocked, but 2 months back when I was looking for hs-28a, only petmart at serangoon has it. You can give them a call to check. Th e chiller should work fine for your setup.

oh okay can thanks!

**muthubaba** · 29th Mar 2012, 08:52

Oh I see. Alright.. Guess I'll have to check around more then.

For hose differences, you can get a hose reducer at any LFS. Pretty cheap about afew bucks or so.

frankly your flowrate cannot make it i would say you should cut off 20% with the media pack in. The flowrate indicate on all canister is when it is running empty. It also depend on how you pack your media.

Next Recommend chiller

2ft REcommended

Hailea A100 A150 HS28A the 2 infront are old models
Resun CL280
The rest i don't know cause i never use teco or artica
