Chiller Resun CL200 for 24G Nano

[thedidavid]

I just bought my chiller CL 200 from Auqamarine on 25/7/2007, I set the temperature to 25 deg C. But this chiller had been kicking non stop 48 hours but the water temperature only drop 3 degrees from 31 to 28 deg C.

Is this normal or I need to return the chiller.

Thanks

Perhaps you can start by describing how the chiller is set up. Where did you place the chiller pump for input and where does the output go to? More details from you would help us help you better

Sorry the date it should be 18/7/2007 thanks for the reminder.

The chiller intake is from 3rd sump tank after carbon filter and chilled water also going back to the same compartment. In this compartement I have 2 pumps, the other pump is for water circulation. Is it better if I am using only one pump, the chilled water I will connected directional output nozzel?

don't think you should have the chiller intake and return from the same compartment in the sump. This could lead to the chiller getting false readings about your tank water temperature, hence shutting off and on prematurely.

i suggest you move your intake to an earlier compartment, and put the return from the chiller close to your sump return pump back to the main tank. If all else fails, just call Aquamarin and ask them about it.

Thanks for the pointer. I think I will take out the circulation pump out and using only one pump only to circulate the water.

I also spoke to aquamarine they will send someone to inspect the chiller thumbs up!

How big is yr tank???

JBJ Nano Cube 24 G - about 95l well below of the 200l capacity stated in manual.

Anyone using CL200 for 24g JBJ Nano Cube? How long it takes to cool the tank from 30 deg C to 26 deg C?

Finally I changed my chiller to JBJ Arctica 1/10 it works perfectly with no sh*tty rattle noise and it cools 6 deg C within 30 mins.

When the temp reaching 24.8C in the tank I can saw couple hitchiker brittle stars came out from my life rock
