by melting the food with di water is correct.. but u got to rinse it few time before u feed them.. this will reduce even more phosphate.. this was taught by bro barnacle the previous time i went to his place..

jervis.. u can try melting ur food with tap water first.. followed by ur di water.. stir them and the rinse them off.. this is wad i do lah.. and i feed even more.. comparing i'm using a small skimmer and feeding alot of fishes too.. haha.. :D

I see that you are using a Arctica 1/3hp Chiller for your huge tank. Maybe its time for an upgrade? :lol:

Even Im using a 1/2 HP chiller for my 4 2 2 tank with 3 ft sump. And it only kicks in for 15 minutes every hour when lights are on and 15 minutes per 1.5 hours when lights are off.

juz a half cent's worth from a person sick of studyin for exams. haha..

(interesting thing to point out that, how come the increase in temp for all 4 cycles are all similar, considering that there is v minimal heat input to the water at night... so shouldnt the gradient for e night cycles be more gentle...? )

Hi bro Colinsoon... I like it when you ask questions :lol::lol::lol:

With the information provided by Aquatronica... it will be a "crime" to ignore that fact that something ain't right... and just let the chiller continue to "sucks" the Middle East dry :pinch:

I spent some time studying it... and here are just some thoughts... will continue to focus on this issue till it is resolved.

More to come :)

Here's what I did this morning...

1) Moved that filing cabinet away... gosh I am running out of space... papers and folders everywhere :lol:

2) Placed a powerful fan in front of the chiller air inlet... connected to Aquatronica, will kick-in together with the chiller. Gotto bear in mind the fan consumes 50W on its own ;)

3) Placed my in-sump Aquatronica temperature probe to monitor the temperature surrounding the chiller. Currently, room temperature (chiller resting) 26.3ºC, tank temperature 26.1ºC.

A bit more relieved this morning... chiller seems to be a acceptably normal :huh:

Based on the graph, the removal of the filing cabinet (to allow plenty of space for air-circulation) and the installation of a fan in front of the chiller air inlet does help.

The longest running time to chill 1ºC for the past 24 hours was 2 1/2 hours (2.30am - 5.00am) as opposed to 5 hours (3am - 8am) 2 days ago :o That's a very significant improvement :eyebrow:

On the graph, the yellow line on top represents room temperature surrounding the chiller. It shows that 29.3ºC was the highest point at 4.30am.

It is also interesting to note that at 10pm, the running chiller increased the surrounding temperature from 27.4ºC to 29.2ºC within a 2 hour period.

I will continue to improve the situation... hoping to further cut-down the running time. But on the other hand... more equipments are coming... easily adding 100W worth of power consumption (and heat) into the system :shock:
