FCP88 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 My Hailea chiller is kicking in for almost 25 minutes to reduce 1 degree Celsius. Is it normal? Any mod available to reduce kicking in time? I believe the longer its kick in, the higher power consumption, right? Any advise. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also depend on the light you use and the heat source genarate from light and pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
