New Chiller Needed.

25-11-2006, 04:09 AM

hi i need to get a new chiller for my 2ft CRS tank that im setting up soon.
this tank will be in my room. ambient 28deg. lighting would be 72W. airconditioning only at night (bringing tank temp to ard 22deg).
however when im not ard and in the day, i would love to bring the temp dwn to ard 25-26. my budget is 500dollars.

what are the choices i have?
isit enough to get a better brand like teco??

if not then can ppl recommend some china brands together with the models please. i have yet to check out if artica nano/mini is sold in singapore yet! tht is actually my ultimate aim.

but its like 800bux..... for the nano.

ok.. china brands!

With you budget,how abt resun 450?if intension of upgrading into bigger size tank,resun 650 should be gd enough.

huh.. but i tot resun 280 is already too much for a 2ft?
require flowrate is too strong.. it will devastate my CRSs =(
or are 450 n 650 weaker..?

25-11-2006, 09:38 PM

HUH!!!! hahaha resun 650 is 1200l/h MINIMUM!!! you gotta be brave to use it on a 2ft dun u tink? 2ft is 60L.. den wun the flowrate be 20X the volume!
i tink thats alrite if its a pleco tank or sumting but for crs? i scared dey kana sucked into the inlet sia.

k den resun280 vs hailea 150A! sumhow i tink hailea wins... i read the website tht they made the new version much more quieter! and the reviews were good leh.. while resun alot of complains bt noise.. if in my rm i sure wun sleep.

You still have a choice in Resun CL200 rated at 1/13HP. Physically it's much smaller than CL280 and require lower flowrate also.

ppl have been advising to get the strongest chiler i can afford.. but i tink anything above 1/10 is a killer for a 2ft.
