Getting the next bigger chiller may be better if you intend to upgrade. Also you don't have to worry when you need to add more heat generating equipments etc.

Bro... I can't afford a 1/4hp lah... considering how hard it is for me to sell my existing chiller (I think $300 also cannot sell). So, can't really plan too far ahead... all I know is... my chiller is running 2 1/2 hours in a stretch and that's bad news... bad for my pocket... bad for me coz I'm like sweating every night ;)

No, I will not be adding more heat generating equipments to the setup :lol:

Another thing is... I don't think the 1/4hp can support my next upgrade :lol::lol::lol:

The result? Totally undetectable NO3 (both low and high resolution reading)... and the PO4 is also undetectable. Just changed to a Phosban Reactor 150 using Pura Complete. The bag of Aquapharm SORB-4 is still inside my IOS (introduced more than a month ago). Hehe... not bad lah... considering how overstock my tank is :lol:

wow, 2 months old deniballs get consume very fast. My deniballs is 6 months old but have been consumed very little. What is yr feeding regime of the denimar?

Hehe... the badly consumed Deniballs were the first batch to be introduced... that time Aqua Mart only left with a few pieces from their decom NR, so I desperately bought it since there isn't any to be found in the market at that time... I dosed Denimar every 2 to 3 days for the first 2 months. Then a kind bro sold me a pack of Deniballs (last month). Ever since, the consumption of Deniballs are not as rapid as before. Now I only dose Denimar every 2 weeks... is it enough?

I am such a BLOODY FOOL :cry::cry::cry: I really dunno how to tell you guys... err... haiz... you see the 2-way split w/ duck beak thingy in the pix? That is the reason why my Teco RA240 was running 2 1/2 hours to chill 1.5ºC :pinch: After I removed it... connect the new chiller... once I switch on my Aquabee 3000... the water sorta gushes out like nothing I've seen before :shock:

All the while... I've been running the Aquabee 3000 at a much much reduced rate due to the strong resistance at the outlet :pinch: Damn it... and I blamed the Teco and suspected the head loss :(

Now anyone interested to adopt this cute little piece of invert?
