shoelevy

just took a picture of moonlightings after 2230 lights off

i figured beckett would control no3 from the source so decommissioned refugium left tank is under consideration for setting up as hospital tank or small tank for my little brother to enjoy nemo right tank is top up reservoir used by tubby

did some rearranging of pipes full tank shot

got a new toy today 2x 3/4W coral life moonlight as seen in picture

just posting some pictures for my own reference nothing fancy really my abalone

hi guys i'm very happy to say that a friend of mine (who has had DIY the mount for the industrial fans that he is using now to cool his tank) is willing to share how he managed to mount such fans here's the diagram he drew for all to share hope this would help those pondering about how to mount these fans as to those who need help from him or would like him to diy one. feel free to contact me and i can refer you to him cheers!

sorry took so long to indicate choice 10) shoelevy - 1 x M (white design)

thanks bro

sorry alittle confused here do you mean i will need to get a part of the pump that is threaded and place it at the output? then put white tape and get a female pvc pipe to screw in?

here's my update my set is 9mths old now, some problems are starting to surface 1)chiller now starts up with some clanking noise...everytime it kicks in, the sound is there 2)it seems to be kicking in more frequently than b4 and the thermostat no longer detects the same temperature as my external thermometer...no matter what CA value i set, there always seems to be 1 degrees difference what i gather from some people is that the chiller is undersized for my tank...perhaps its time to upgrade

oh if that's the case then i understand thanks

me too eager to know results acidjazz? how's your test going?

hi guys, i didn't know pipe can be directly connected to pump so i first use a hose then connect it to the pvc pipes. i was wondering how exactly can the pipe be fitted directly to the pump? the pipe is hard and isn't elastic so how can it form a air tight seal? with pvc cement? hope someone can enlighten me thanks!

great to see you try it out bro thanks for the effort perhaps different fish have slightly different character cheers

i have green mushroom to give pls pm me your tank specs

1 parlock with 3pin plug just sold left 4 more parlocks

哈哈 很象 edit 的喔

i've been receiving lots of pm on price so i'll list it here. taiwan $15/- denmark, sanyodenki $20-25 toyo: $45/- (3 for $130 and 5 for $210) prices exclusive of 3 pin plug i know prices maybe on the higher side compared to CPU fans but CPU fans are not as strong and are not as sturdy. if you have the chance to see it you'll know what i mean. pls pm me if interested

here's some pics to show the size of the fan note the 4 corners have holes for screw mounting

price range is 10-20 EXCLUDING 3pin plug depending whether u wan taiwan or japan stuff the exception to the price is the toyo fan, that one VERY strong so its $45/-

optional stuff is fan guard to prevent your hands from accidentally touching the blades

there's been some confusion over what : "If used on system generating 100W of heat, temperature rise will be 1degrees celsius (this is in theory, however, actual cooling depends on many other factors such as ambient temperature of surroundings)" means what this means is in this example, if your cabinet has 100W of heat being generated and temperature b4 these pumps were switched on is 30degrees, then by using this fan, the temperature in theory should rise to only 31degrees hope this clears the air interested parties may pm me thanks!

i do have other brands but there's just too many to post. so this is what i'll do write me a pm if you're interested. tell me what you have in your cabinet, temperature inside if closed up, and i will try to find sth that fits you. i will reply with a price (NOTE: WHAT I THINK IS SUITABLE MAY NOT PERFORM UP TO YOUR STANDARD, in that case, i will try to work sth out, perhaps top up to get a bigger fan) also, do include in your pm if you want me to fix up a 3 pin plug for you. (this would cost extra $5/- since i need to get parts for the work.)

TOYO from Japan Size: radius 17.5cm Construction : All metal, die_cast aluminium housing, steel impellor Life expectency: no info other relevent statistics: 50W, 56db (quite audible), air flow: 390m^3 / hr (VERY strong) DOES NOT come with 3pin plug but i can make one for you upon request THEORETICALLY: If used on system generating 100W of heat, temperature rise will be 1degrees celsius (this is in theory, however, actual cooling depends on many other factors such as ambient temperature of surroundings)

Sanyo Denki from Japan Size: 12x12x4cm Construction : All metal, die-cast aluminium housing, steel impellor, impedance protected, Sleeve bearing Life expectency:no info other relevent statistics: 10W, 35db (quite silent), air flow: 57m^3 / hr DOES NOT come with 3pin plug but i can make one for you upon request THEORETICALLY: If used on system generating 100W of heat, temperature rise will be 6degrees celsius (this is in theory, however, actual cooling depends on many other factors such as ambient temperature of surroundings) FOR SANYI DENKI FANS, i have other models as well. It would be good if you inquire on other models depending on your cooling requirements
