i did consider on that but for the pump is rio10 it've been serving me more than 12mths running on & off so far no problem.
in terms of break down it may sooner or later but i already earn back the pump amount liao, by saving the electrical bills.
Maybe stick it to every yr change once
22w X 18hrs x 365days / 1000 x S$0.24 = S$34.69
or maybe 1 1/2 yr changing once will be great to get a turn over better
but so far i been using rio with no such problem as it meant to be a strong pump, but where as power comsumption sound ok only
Bro Vtec tks for the advice.
But eventurelly once i done up my wavebox, i'll use a split from my return pump to feed the chiller.
So in this way i further save somemore
really have to do alot of planning on every step.

Hi all i'm selling this unit 1wk old
going for bigger unit for my tank

ya will do further DIY on the window, as when heavy rain there'll be water splashing in.
Think i'll use some plastic or acylic to make those 45degree angle plate (like our toilet windows)
-
ya i only plan to have 2unit of those and with one 12000L/h wavemaker that'll do the trick
15000L/h x 2 = 30000L/h wavebox
16000L/h with 1.8m headloss = 10000L/h
12000L/h wavemaker
total i've 52000L/h for flow
for my tank with easily 250kg of LR for a 6ft tank and 4ft sump, the water contain inside is only bout 900L-1000L
whereas the turn over rate for the tank and sump will be 52 times
by right it only requirer bout only 30-40 times turn over rate for a tank, but u nvr know if u start on SPS
-
wow a very comprehensive info for newbies, and for those who don't really know much on reef
-
bro larry by the way the heat problem is solve liao as in pic it being place facing outside of the kitchen.
now no longer hot air
-
ya i've done abit of calculation, so this's the outcome y i go for hailea
-
mob pls close the thread
-
oh sorry to add i've ended this bid cause of few reason
1. fellow Reefer have tell me to test out first before letting go of the queen as it already so stable
2. informed the last bidder bout it already but forgot to update (my fault i apologise)
3. after aclim into my 6ft it seem fine and do good with my leather and SPS
4. it my darling so far so maybe in near furture maybe consider changing the fish by than will sell it

Wow, must be a lot of sweat on the piping work. Bro, is 1000l/hr enough for your chiller size?
As for the hose and piping, you can use those computer black (or white) wiring cable covers to conceal them if you want. I use those to conceal my green ehiem hose which looked out of place in my living room.
ya it enough for the flow, as the slower it's the cooler is the output
as for the wire cover don't really get it can share more or pic to show

Hi bro,
Did you consider using a commerical chiller unit instead ? If you can place the compressor out of your house all the problem with the heat will be gone, and the drop in coil also chill faster thus saving some energy as well. I am also thinking about this right now especially the weather is so hot recently and make my chiller runing more often..
ya i did consider of drop in coil, but the problem are i've to stick with the current set up forever till i decom
so i can't change design of the sump and tank position ( unless do extra trunking for the a/c ) pay more also
for the price of installing and unit it'll cost bout almost 2k for a 1hp
per day my chiller run 1hr and rest 3hrs, so means it run 6hrs per day to maintain at 27degrees by ext thermostate
as per kilo watt cost S$0.24 in total 0.704kw X 6hrs X 365days = 1541.76kw X S$0.24 = S$370.02per yr
so in terms of cost for a HC-1000A = S$754 For the turn over it'll be S$2k - S$754 = S$1246 spent on the initial
and S$1246 / S$370 = 3yrs and 5mths to get back the cost for the initail without the power comsumption of the unit yet
HC-1000A running for 3yrs 5mths cost me S$2448.50 in total with the chiller price
drop in unit cost me S$2370.11 for 3yrs 5mths with electrical comsumption with initial cost
so if i'm not going to use that long for 3yrs i won't see the saving

Tks bro Milch
In the nature they only school in big enviroment, so think they really need big tank for it to school around.
recently just added a radioactive birdnest frag to see the respond
water parameter
MG 1350
CA 500
KH 8
the rest so far nvr test yet
as i trust the system well for no3 and po4
-
try to seacrh for thread starter name triggerfish he've got one for around 60plus
-
sorry not all hailea is like this is just the 500a but however it also not faulty is the design of the cooler box that the thermosate place at the bottom of the box
i'm using 1000a now use use to have 500a brand new also
-
Bro u better act fast trim the top one which is still good before it spread to the whole coloney
-

-
ok i'll chk kh then
yes i did swirl it every drop
-
my ca level is 470-500 is it ok

ya as i said power consumption ok only...
but it powerful to drive a more than 12m and still have a flow rate of 1000L
so it means there's always a reason behide it
