my 3rd chiller give problem again

[kelvin1976]

my 3rd atman chiller give me problem again....

thought of selling mh lighting 1x150 + 27x2 -which give so much heat and just use t5 x 6 + a big fan blowing on top of my hood....

tank - 3 x 2 x 2.5

NO sps ... only softies and LPS.

return pump + skimmer + uv lighting + seio 820 = 130 watt -do u think can achieve 27 degree without chiller ???

if the whole idea work.. i can save quite alot of watt le...

any suggestion or any T5 user who don use chiller but can achieve the following result, pls pls let me know.

if work well , maybe can add a auto top up + Kalkwasser Reactor to compensate all water loss...

actually t5 is not as cool as many think..

if 6 tubes are used, your hood will be fully covered, which will actually hinder heat transfer...

another thing tat i dun like about t5 is that 1 ballast can only fire 2 tubes, which means more money...same thing for the tube...and they dun last as long as MH bulbs...
