Make money or not, it's not nice to use other people's thread to sell stuff. Besides selling should be done in the marketplace, not here.

I believe I am not selling, I just sharing some coil design that could suit our fellow AQ bro for their tank..
TS I am sorry if cause any inconvenience to your thread..

Doubt irvine was selling. I think its more of sharing the knowledge of custom made ss pipe

agreed , a good contributor to the hobby

finally setup the chiller~ no more ice bottle regime!

[IrvineChen]

Great set up.. the resevoir from the chiller is set to 26.8 degree... is the temperature the same for both of the 2 tank above?

haha wait la, just turn on the chiller nia. im setting 25 degree C, it should be able to make the top tank chill at 26 degree C.

[Shawngkl]

What type of temperature different between the top tanks & the chilled tank (bottom)? 1 degree different?

I will be very interested to know the difference.. camping here for your update... heehee

[eviltrain]

after running for 3 hours, the difference is 1 - 1.5 degree C. Chiller set at 25 degree C. top tank measurement is 26 - 26.5 degree C

kick in 15 mins, rest for 45 mins.

[limz_777]

sounds good , expected it to kick in more , considering its chilling roughly 274 litres

no la its only chilling around 40 litres ( bottom tank half filled )

i see , wont it have a domino effect ? the probe is in the bottom tank ?

How big is your chiller? I need to upgrade mine, it's running for about 50mins and rest for 1.5-2hrs after using the SS pipe to cool another tank... Mine is 2 degrees variant.

I have observed the tank chilled by the SS pipes remains pretty constants between the time where the chiller kicks in till the next cycle, while the tank that's connected to the chiller directly fluctuate between 1-2 degree. Example, tank chilled by SS pipe remains at 23 degree constant while the tank connected directly fluctuate between 22 - 24 degree (2 degree is the range for my chiller to kick in), is it the same for you?

is that soil on the shrimp tank bed?? haha or a black colour reflection?

no external probe. i haven't got time to go Sim Lim Tower to buy yet.

mine is a HS28a. yes, the top tank temperature is pretty constant at 26 - 26.5 degree C with temperature set at 25 degree C. for this kind of setup, its better to place at the shadiest part of the house as to keep the ambiance temperature low.

yes, i added a thin layer of ADA aquasoil so that the shrimps will have better grip.

From my understanding, the difference of 2 degree is due to lack of surface area of your Stainless steel pipe...
In theory, more surface more cooling.. heat dissapated from your top tank, as a result, the heat exchange from the coil is not sufficient. So the coil absorb the chill water energy to your secondary tank and caused the fluctuations.
Do let me know if I am right. Thanks

totally agree, more of the SS pipe in the tank will help cool the temperature more.

new additions to the tank!





enjoy!

Steady lah, bro!
U make my hand itchy sia......
