Are u still keeping FOWLR or plan to switch to corals?

Moving a tank is tough enuff, can't imagine shifting the entire house. . .

I still vote for Bubble King. Bubble Master comes 2nd.

Just hook up the chiller last night. Manage to chill my 6 feet tank to 27 degrees.

Initial temperature: 30.0 degrees

Current temperature: 27 degrees

Combined wattage of equipments used:

Aquabee 5000 x2 (150 watt)

Aquabee 2000 (15 watt)

Eheim skimmer pump (55 watt)

Tunze 6080 (15 watt)

4ft T5 x 2 (108 watt)

Total: 343 watt.

Today will hook up the Metal Halide and see if the chiller can cope.

I am glad that the Hailea chiller is able to meet my expectations.

As for noise level, its very minimum considering that i was a previous user of NSEW chiller and Arctica chiller. Its in fact quieter than Resun and the overflow box is even noiser than the chiller. As for heat generated, most chillers are almost similar, so no comments on this.

After changing both return pumps to Aquabee 5000, can see a great increase in the turn over of the tank.

Total: 643 watt.

For a 1/2 hp chiller to chill down a 6x2.5x2.5 ft tank with 4x2x2 ft sump is incredible. Most tanks this size wld have require a 1hp chiller. This goes to prove that Hailea is credible in what they stated on the chiller.

I am confident that the Hailea 1/2hp chiller wld be able to chill down most tanks which are 6 feet and below.
