Chiller chill by pumping H20 Vs coil

[tskyleth]

Need some advise on chiller. Firstly I apology if I post this issue in the wrong folder

I choosing btw 2 type of chiller.

1> coil type which u insert the coil into the sump to cool the tank. Heard this is a better choice compared to the chiller that req'd additional pump to pump in water into the chamber to be chill. Second the chances that ur chiller is much lesser.

2> water intake chiller which is commonly found \. disadvantage of the type is when chilling compartment leak the whole chiller will break down.

My concern is that either type of the chiller will be place quite a distance away cos I dont wish to view my tank with a hot air blowing near me. Thats the issue drive me nuts. Cos what I heard is 4 the coil type chiller , it wont be effective to cool the water down when the coil need to travel a certain distance as compared \ to the chamber type chiller.

Advise needed???

Chillers normally are placed beside the aquarium.. Maybe if you can afford, get ppl to run your chiller like the house air conditioning.. Compressor outside the house.. Then you won't feel the heat..

If not, go for cooling fans..

Another idea, run your airconditioning while your chiller is running..

Hmmm..

Actually chiller works like a fridge.. Put your tank beside your fridge..

Hehehe

Anyway, I am using the 'water intake chiller'.. If you leave your chiller in one location without moving it around so much, I dunn think it will spoil on its own.. If not, get a reputable brand..

If you interested in the first 'coil in water chiller', look for dino.. He's using one..

Cheers~
