jervismun Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Haha, how often does your chiller run per day? I chill my tank to around 27 degrees, is that good enough? 27ºC is good. I think my chiller kicks-in at least 8 times a day, depending on the time of the day. If at night, the chilling will take less than an hour... but still... someone is gonna kill me this month once the electricity bill comes Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctica is really really expensive lor... if I buy the 1/5hp model, I will have to eat porridge or "Maggi" for the next month or so So must check properly before buying... and then my old Teco (3 months old only) will be so hard to get rid... probably keep it as a backup as chillers tend to give problems no matter how good.
