hey bro acidjazz, will be getting the artica as well. Pretty well recieved brand in this forum..
U know anyone selling pre-own unit? Else will have to buy a new one..
So far so good i guess. . . hopefully i am not stressing out the 1/2 hp chiller. Anyway i set my temperature at 27 degrees, how about you? i am thinking of increasing it to 28 degrees so that the chiller dun have to work so hard. .
To answer your question, you can check on classfieds as there are plenty of home-breed dogs available at lower price than farms, especially on saturday classfieds.
However, try to find a dog that suits ur personality.
Sps needs a serious investment. . such as getting another 3-4 tunze wavemakers, stronger lightings, calcium reactor etc etc etc. . . i am not ready for sps yet. . at least not a 6 footer sps.
Might keep some Monti caps and batam/bali sps which are easier to upkeep rather than those tonga sps that have lots of requirements.
hey. . . is the CL280 able to chill down ur tank? Ur water volume seems too much for the CL280.
When u add in all the pumps, wavemakers and lightings, i am afraid it will stress ur chiller. .
oh... i cook an entire tank of discus before cuz my heater overheat. . went up to 32 degrees. . . crap. . .
anyway off topic, bro seamonkee tank wld be nice with discus and some plants which can tahan without co2 input.
Just to add: Regarding the noise level, the Hailea chiller is very very silent. I can't even tell that it kicked in. . . those reefers who came over to my place earlier today wld have witness that.
cheers.
Just hook up the Hailea HC-500A (1/2 hp model) chiller.
Combined wattage of equipments used:
Aquabee 5000 x2 (150 watt)
Aquabee 2000 (15 watt)
Eheim skimmer pump (55 watt)
Tunze 6080 (15 watt)
4ft T5 x 2 (108 watt)
150 watt MH X2 (300 watt)
Total: 643 watt.
For a 1/2 hp chiller to chill down a 6x2.5x2.5 ft tank with 4x2x2 ft sump is incredible. Most tanks this size wld have require a 1hp chiller. This goes to prove that Hailea is credible in what they stated on the chiller.
I am confident that the Hailea 1/2hp chiller wld be able to chill down most tanks which are 6 feet and below.
