My 2nd

Bro do you have a separate pump for return? The Eheim 1250 doesn't seem too strong for me considering the height and distance the water gotto travel 

Is there a way to elevate my Teco chiller by 2.5ft? That will save you 5ft worth of distance and reduce the overall height significantly 

nope,dont think i be able to elevate your Teco chiller by 2.5ft higher..casue i need to hide it under my dinning table.. i have an separate pump for the return is a HF RIO20... so u mean that an 1250 is good enough to run my chiller at all that total distance?

thanks man...

IMO...you're better off with a 1260 or 1262 for the matter. Factoring headloss etc...the 1250 output flow rate would be rather low and that would only mean that it'll take u longer to cool the tank down. I believe a 1260 should be a decent sized pump that'll match your chillers flow through rate as well as manage the distance it needs to travel. Good luck with it.

1250 defintely cannot.go for hydor not too ex.low watts too:)

just a went to AM... and got some 16/22 eheim pipe and a aquabee 3000 pump for my RA680 chiller.. what u guys think .. i also got an control valve pipe to control the flow of the pump if the flow is too strong .. but do u guy think that the pump being flow control this way will it cause the pump to have problem or spoil in the long run?

just got some new LR and restack my tank again.. what u do u all think ..free free to comment btw the three rock work ?

[godzillaliu88]

the empty space. can stack a flat piece on top. to create a bridge.

can try?

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

just run my teco chiller with aquabee3000 and the return pipe is link to the main tank.. but the water flowing out is like only normal tap on to half power ..water flowing out to the main tank.. will it works?

or i need a strong pump?

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

bro must get about 5 to 6k aquabee if you want the best:)

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

came home after work the temp of my tank is stilll at 29 ... sainzzz.....

[vagabond]

bro, think you 2nd scaping seems nicer and more natural...

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

k.. got myself another RA680 chiller and it running with it an aqbee3k and dont have problem with the pipe linking like 12feet long before E water flow back into the main tank.. and just check my kh level is 13!!!

And added a mushroom to test the water... but is dont seem to be opening ... think it could be the kh... what do u guys thing?

In your 3rd scaping, avoid having a 'valley' that is facing the front directly. i.e. u can see right through it to the back of the glass. Instead you should angle the valley diagonally.

one of the rationale is that when a fish swims through the 'valley' and the valley is facing the front, you only see the front of the fish and that's not very much to look at. but if your 'valley' is angled, as the fish swims through that 'valley', you can see its full body against the background of the rocks.

I read this in a book somewhere in kino.

You brought 2 Teco chiller, to chill your tank?

the first one is not working well so got another one ..

[yooyoo99]

Prefer your 1st 2 rockscapes as compared to the 3rd design

[barnacle]

And added a mushroom to test the water...

definately a wrong way to test water.... u can test water using test kit.

[KennethK]

1st scaping is best for placing corals.

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

i just tested my water perimeters today..

TEMP 27-28.5

KH-12.8

CA-370

No3-5ppm

And also re-scape my rockwork today... comment anyone?

Rockscape is nice.

But during tank cycle process you need not on the lights.

Bro, hows your chiller doing now? running 2 chiller at the same time?

what is the cooling result?

[ReDDeviLs]

r/s looks good

actully i m only using one RA680... and only running with ATI Dimmable Power Modul T5 04 X 54W plus 2 x 54W LEdmoonlight AM T-5 instead of 10 T-5 54W but for now my chiller total kicking in time in hrs is only ard 6-8hrs everyday..
