[thc]

Hi,

"DIY CHILLER"

[Achilles Tang]

It has been explored by aquarists worldwide and everyone agrees its an interesting concept but a very inefficient one in reality as you cannot control the temperature and takes a lot of time and effort to monitor and 'top-up'.

Water temperature fluctations is something to avoid to shocking your livestock, using ice is a number one culprit but it could do in an emergency only.

Hi,

Maybe a good heater can be added to the tank to maintain the temp at 26....!!???

[ai[k²]wan]

to prevent fluctuation, bombard the thing with ice, and use a heater to prevent things form going too low.h haha

[thc]

aik kwan,

[ai[k²]wan]

[thc]

[ai[k²]wan]

[thc]

what container are you looking for????!!!! Plastic, Stainless steel, Acrylic. Spill it out, maybe someone can help..

[Achilles Tang]

thc.... it's like bathing with icecold water and standing by a kettle of boiling water.

[ai[k²]wan]

the thing is dat it work.. whatever works is good for us. haha

[thc]

Yah maybe you are right, but if it really works! I'll BE RICH RICH RICH (yawn.... , dreaming ).

[xiggie]

one advice ............. get a proper chiller......

[junyong84]

so troublesome..i rather save the effort...and use fans in the meantime... and slowing save for a chiller...

[eidomon]

Gosh, please don't do it!!!! You will put us all out of business.

Just kidding.

[thc]

it's only a idea, have not try it YET. May try out when i'm free. I can well afford a chiller but just want to try out my idea. I'm into DIY. Infact, i'm DIYing my own 4ft cabinet. thanx for all your advise.

[simple]

hi, will be waiting to see ur DIY chiller. hope the price can be cheaper then the market . All the Best...........

[ai[k²]wan]

but. u gotta top up the ice every now and then.. quite ma fan

[^GeNoME^]

how abt using this idea and subsitude with those water cooling set for computer? those water colling sets usually comes with radiator etc.. think if they manage to cool down the cpu... den it should do the same to water as well.. or use pletier(did i get the spelling rite?) cooler..? by using ice is not a feasible way in long run

[coralreef]

have been looking for peltier cooler...seems that in the market already stopped.
