Default Wish to share my alpha setup

This is not my idea but a idea adopt from taiwan no thanks to bro alan aka Eviltrain (he poisonous but thanks to him i have learn alot and finally got my tank setup right) So here i wish share his poison to me and from me to you all.
All comment welcome hope other bros can point out what need to improve. This is a 1 chiller supplying chilling for 2 tanks by the means of using a stainless steel pipe functioning like a coil.



This setup i'm using ehiem 2028 to push water thru chiller using HS28A (i find chiller like under power so might revamp and switch to resun 280 to try)



Chiller temp



Above tank with lifestock temp



Below tank cycling temp.

Currently as you can see the chiller is sitting beside my lower tank. So there is some heat generate during kick in. (As suggested by many helpful bros over the other side will try out all the method to reduce the timing)

Currently

Kick in and last for almost 1 hr to bring down temp
Rest for 45 min before next round.
