Chiller

[junyong84]

Hey guys,

These days, my resun CL 650 is running extend periods of time, especially after i on my MH. Not very economic, and my electrical bills shoot up like $250 more. My stand is that either this chiller needs servicing, or its not able to support my tank at all.

Decide to change a chiller for good, so that its more economic in the long run.

What hp chiller should i get for a tank that is 4x2x2 and with a sump of 3x1.5x1.5? I think the total volume of water is about a 7ft. Do you guys have any brands to recommand?

I heard that daeil is good...and is e replica of artica? What are the price ranges?

Thanks for the help guys!

Wah bro so expensive ah $200++ only electrical bill alone. Did you adjust your temperature every time you turn on your MH? From what I know and heard is that resun is quite eco already. But your sump is big man!

for those people who are using artica chillers, teco chillers and daeli chillers... hows the heat and sound issue?

Can't be, the chiller will not cost that much to run...even for your home air-con unit running 24-7 it won't cost that much...

Perhaps you might want to consider hooking up a titanium heat-exchanger to you current compressor for your home air-con (if inverter system, better still as it'll save on bills).

Nowadays system 3 about 2K, get a Ti heat exchanger + accessories to hook up should cost 2.5k and you will have a real peace of mind. Current aquarium air-con (the so called good ones) are too expensive, ranging from 1k and more....yikes !!!

Aquamarine will be launching a promotion on C1000 1hose power resun chiller soon. They are selling below $800.00.

Anyone has any idea how reliable this chiller is?
