Roidan's Reef (III)

[AlfaRomeo]

Beautiful piece of equipment... close-in pic of the specs pls?

[roidan]

landing its heavy feet on my floor tiles

will do alfa....hang on

[roidan]

[roidan]

specs that i dun understand

assuming we are on 50Hz..how can this pump output 260W of power with only 240W of input consumption?

[roidan]

seeing double??

yeah...you are seeing double

[AlfaRomeo]

2 pumps? you going to run 2 mx-100 for your monster skimmer? WOW!!!!! surely your water will be even cleaner than FIJI water.. WOW!!

[patrick123]

Wow...2 of them for the quaple beckett.

I think your electricity for next month will

The shape and color looks very much like the MX70. Even the power consumption, it is also around 230w. But the output is so much more. What does this mean? The pump is more efficient?

if only Singapore Power got "mileage rewards"

size wise longer than the mx70, heavier also ...

as for the specs, i seriously think there is a misprint,

because i can't reconcile the fact that using 240W of power can generate 260W of power on 50Hz

the other 60Hz of using 375W of power to generate 260W of power sounds more logical...

never mind lah..maybe i gotten factory rejects

i go try later...can spurt water can liao

[d00d]

Great! Read somewhere you got two beckett! Now two monster pumps to run a mosnter skimmer!!! Wow! I am impressed by your determination to strive for da best water quality for your marine life!

[roidan]

thanks d00d

sounds more like 300W

Wow better don't try in the toilet, the water gonna spray till it hits your ceiling

[Terryz_]

Will have a fountain... Hehe...

[roidan]

weileong,

yeah, 300 sounds more logical.....

maybe instead of 240...should be 340...lol

terryz,

hehehe....can shoot high high sia

[weileong]

so it means the MX100 is much more efficient than the MX70 and MD55

[roidan]

anyway, i am going to wire it up.....lemme see........is this correct?

[weileong]

Was abt to post my picture.... your connection looks fine but remember to use terminal lug

[patrick123]

I think there may be some typo. Here is the comparison between the MX70 and MX100:

As you can see, MX70 is 5400L/hr and MX100 is 6600L/hr. But the power consumption for MX70 is "250/375w" whereas MX100 is "240/375w". Wow....more power but less consumption???

I think the power rating for the MX70 is correct since the power consumption is "250/375", and the OUTPUT is "150/180" unlike the MX100 with the OUTPUT higher than the power consumption.

[roidan]

yeah patrick i also believe got typo...

coz i decided on the mx100 with the impression that they draw about 300odd of power each...

or maybe i just gotten factory rejects with the wrong stickers

[patrick123]

Assuming it is 300w per pump, so running 2 pump simultaneously will be 600w x 24 hours x 30days /1000 * .16 = S$70 a month on electricity just for the 2 pumps.

[roidan]

i am running aircon 24/7 most of the time, time to take out the antique fan to use liao...no more air con

but seriously once in this hobby, you learn to take numbers with a pinch of salt. even the numbers on the bills

want to save money, leaving this hobby is the best solution

once i hear frens who want to start reefing, i say welcome to the endless pit

[weileong]

It's kinda pay now one shot or pay installment to Singapore power

[roidan]

yeah...

red dragon is pay now one shot, see big drop in bank account.... but every month see less numbers on the power bill

blue beast is the longevity monster that pay instalments to Singapore Power

[AlfaRomeo]

Bro Roidan, so in the near future how many different pumps will you be operating? 2x MX100 & ?? (For return/chiller/etc etc )...

[roidan]

maybe another mx100 for all the other stuff next time? chiller, return, UVs,FR and blah blah blah....means alot of Ts and junctions...yikes....

as such, i am thinking of a separate circuit breaker for my tank....anyone knows how much it is to get an electrician to do it?
