  1. hey bro whq, hope my inputs help. just drop me a message anytime. yes RD sells them, as of last week they still do have some stocks, easily about 4 i think. again key points to note IMO : 1) 2 degrees is what to expect as typical, 4 degrees is possible. depends on your tank size, and your ambient temperature. your nano size should be ok. 2) one thing to note is I hardly saw the impact of using this almost 24/7 in the PUB bills 3) i'd opt for HOB installation (which is what i did) than bulkhead. it is easier to cool a small volume of water with some decent flowrate than trying to cool the whole tank volume. with some added media in the HOB (like biopellets), also helps to maintain the cool temperature eventually. 4) it is quiet ... not whisper quiet, but yes quiet, otherwise my GF will complain . i hear the waves on the surface trickling more than the fan noise. 5) the green LED at the back acts as a moonlight for the tank (hehe, yup, GREEN !) i don't have any moonlight anyway, so there you go ... 6) easy maintenance - once a week, i'd clean the HOB. just unplug, and bring the whole thing to wash. for now, i have it turned off during aircon days / nights, planning to get a timer for this. i don't have the temp controller. coz if i don't, i've measured the tank to go down as much as 23-24 deg ... waaay too cold. other than the aircon cooling the water, the heatsink gets cooler as well, thus i get more effective heat exchange between it and the chip. overall, for me the ice probe is -
