Hi. Welcome to SRC.

Would appreciate if more details can be given. I am sure most of us here will be interested. I know I am. :P

How well does it work? Comparison if possible, otherwise your personal take on it will be more than enough. How much does it cost? How exactly you hooked up everything. ;)

thanks guys, i forgot to say that i'm from indonesia. :D

and sorry for my bad english :paiseh:

i found this forum about 2 days ago, and i think this forum is great!

i bought that coil from my friend, whom from indonesia too. it's about 1.500.000 rupiahs (in SGD, it's about 250)

I used to use Resun CL280 for my tank. for the first 8 month, it was nice. it can chill my tank from 30-25 for 2 hours. after that, i found that it couldn't do its job well anymore. 24 hours running, and could only reach 28C! :( and i think it's sucks! my mother wanted to "kill" me because of its electric bill :lol:

i've tried to get it repaired, but none of ac technicians in my city can repair it. and there's no resun service centre in my country .it made me mad! :(

then i did a search in RC, i found so many thread about great diy chiller. then i made this chiller with my AC technicians. the titanium was the hardest part to find. fortunately i managed to find it :D

i got the digital controller and probe from the cl-280. the titanium coil in it isn't enough for 1/2 hp.

this diy has been running in my tank for about 3 months, and i haven't found any problem yet.

the total cost is 3000.000 rupiahs (about SGD 500). quite expensive, but i think i got what i paid :D

resun cl-650 is about 3000.000 rupiahs (SGD 500) in indonesia, but remember that it's only 1/6 hp!

why do i have to pay SGD500 for 1/6hp if i can get 1/2 hp at the same price

it only runs for about 4-5 hours a day in my tank.

:thanks:
