JBJ Arctica 1/5 HP (Model DBA-150) Chiller

[Xbox Live]

hi all,

Is the above model suitable for a 4x2x2 planted tank ? Comes with 2 years warranty and 2 free maintenance available with local agent...sound interesting.

Can anyone share his experience or advice. thanks.

It's enough, cos the 150 model can handle up to 180 Gallon.
Looks like a really good chiller too!

thanks Aeon, i think it is a good bargain as well. And with the warranty and 2 times servicing, at least i have some assurance of its durability.

Price is also very attractive (quoted by an LFS) as compared to Hailea and Teco brands and the size is similar to a desktop CPU. And its power consumption is low.

well, after so much consideration , bought this a week ago. Set up was easy and breeze. I set the digital temp control system to 26degC. The tank temp initially at 28degC and it took 1/2 hour to bring down to 25.8degC. It then stop and switch on again only when the temp rises to 26.2degC after almost 1 1/2 hours later. After this initial starter, it took around 15~20minutes or less to maintain 25.8 ~26.2degC.

The frequency of the chiller to be re-activated to maintain the temp to 26degC very much depends on lightings or room temp, tank size and the water flow rate.

Heat ! You can't escape from this. Find a well ventilated area for this. nevertheless i find it ok even when i place mine in the living hall.

Noise - acceptable ....hint ....My room air con is noiser. :P

Power consumption savings.... haven't receive my bill yet ....

the spec is here :

- Aquarium Capacity = 681liter
- Ambient Temp range = 10degC~35degC
- Flow Rate = 30liter/minute (min 30liter/max 83liter)
- Weight = 22kg
- Compressor = 1/5HP


hope this help for those who is still considering......
and for those who ever own this JBJ can share......


regards
