kraken Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi all, I have a new FOWLR, thinking of getting a chiller. my question are: 1) how much heat does the chiller emits? I have the tank in the living room. 2) can the chiller is housed on the cabinet above the tank? thanks in advance. PS: consider Arctica brand of chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraken Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I am contemplating adding corals in the near future, thus the need for a chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbvolka Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I am contemplating adding corals in the near future, thus the need for a chiller if you intended to keep some corals, then your fish selection has to be limited. example, number of fishes to achieve low bio-load and the type of fishes ( must be reef safe) have to plan and be careful.

yangster Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I am just using a haelia chiller. My tank is in a corner in my living room (5rm HDB). sound and heat is negligible. dun really feel it and my estate is pretty quiet. housing it in a cabinet above is good cos hot air rises. you will feel the heat less. but i presume you are running a return pump from a sump?? if yes, you will need a very powerful pump to pump water from sump to your ceiling. at least 2+ meters....

qingwen Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 i'm using a hailea old hc series. really love it cos air intake is at the back, and exhaust is in front. most of the chillers exhaust are at the back. mine lets all allowable to rest it against a wall.
