Bro, i just replied to ur pm. safer to use titanium.

I'm considering making another chiller for my coral tank. If i decided to make another one, i'll let u know.

Wow bro! I would have got it from you if i know earlier. Is it a split-system or system 2/3?

i spend, $200 x 3 for the titanium coils. $45 x 3 for controllers. $420 for 2nd hand compressor with installation. $250 x 3 for installing the pipings so total = $600 + $135 + $420 + $750 = $1905 So $1905 is for 3 systems of 0.75 hp chiller.

in the main tank. If put in the sump, the temperature will only be true in the sump and not the main tank. When put the probe in the main tank, the chiller will continue to cool until the set temp is achieved in the main tank.

The cables are connected to the controller as shown in the photo.

The piping are run all the way until the sump where the pipes are connected to the titanium coils shown previously.

Got a 2nd hand non-invertor compressor becos an invertor compressor cannot be control by the the controller directly. The piping were installed by aircon guys.

This is the titanium coil i got from an aircon parts supplier. Its place beside the blue stool as a comparison to show the size of it. This coil is suitalbe for 1 HP compressor and i got 3 of them.

Thanks everyone for ur input and advise. Finaly got the chiller working over the weekend after changing the compressor to an non-invertor type. i'll post the picture with some explaination in the next few days.

So as to say, its easier and better using a non-inverter compressor unit than to try to figure out the circuits... rite? As my compressor is FOC from my brother doing his home renovation, i dun mind buying a non-invertor unit.

Hi Guys, Updates on this project... i bought some 1hp titanium coils on saturday and arrange for the aircon guys to come link up the system yesterday. After linking up the system and doing a trial run... new problems.. Aircon guy told me that inverter units cannot just use external controller to control. Is this true? Any brother out there doing aircon stuff can give some advice?

seems that nowadays ich parasites also work in shifts... i usually just carry on feeding the fishes.. with better food/vitamins supplements. u can try to add some galic juice also to increase the fishes appetite. i dun believe in taking the fishes out for treatment becos that usually stress the fishes further. Most of the time ended up dead. so far my successful treatments is feed better food/vitamin supplement.

Hi there! Shrimps, Crabs and lobsters are very sensitive to water conditions. Sudden change in the water conditions might kill them in the matter of hours. Before u introduce it to the tank, it help to acclimatise them to let them adjust to the new water condition.

Bro, Sohal is a very agressive fish If u get same size as ur ATs.. it will wack ur ATs 1 to 2. If u must have a Sohal, get a smaller one just like orsony suggested.

Hi bro, i'm actually looking for the adustable TXV with a knob to adjust the temperature. Becos if its a thermostat then it will be cutting in and out.. so i rather let the TXV do the flow control. Of cos i'll have to calibre the TXV Myself for the temperature will not be correct.

Hi Fellow DIYers, I'm starting a DIY split-unit aircon chiller project with drop-in coils. However, i'm not too sure where i can get adustable expansion valves so that i can control the temperature at every coil. Anyone have seen ppls selling or know where to buy? If You have similar experience on the setting up, please share with me as i have never done DIY project of this scale before. Thanks!!

When u give the skimer maximum air, the bubbles form will be wet, resulting in very thin wet skim.. Thus wasting ur salt water.. becos u will be pouring away very dilute skimates. when u tune it to the right amt, the bubbles form will be dryer giving a thicker layer of froth , result in thick concentrated skimate. Thick froth seems to break in faster in my opinion.

Hi fellas, Just bought 2 banner butterfly yesterday, and i realised that they are pecking on the LR and sand bed. Anyone know the natural diet of these fishes?

Any one spotted any Leafy filefish?
