Suitable Chiller

[Crypt]

Hi friends ,

Would like to enquire about running a chiller, currently thinking of getting a,

Hailea - HC150A(1/10hp),

Current:1.1A

Power: 1/10 HP

Refrigerant: R134a

Flow rate: 250- 1200 L/Hr

Will it be sufficient to run a 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft tank using these chiller? I'm a newbie to these and after 1st failure in having these wonderful hobby, am thinking of getting things slow and get all the facts correct

There's still more to which i need clarifications and answers but for now i will read on and learn more from the experienced reefers in the forum.

A rough guide is 1HP per 1000L. You have about 191L in your 3 foot tank, so maybe a 1/5HP, rather than a 1/10HP, would be better. Better yet, run oversized with a external controller

Thnkxx for the advise, will see that i get an "oversized" chiller to better suit the tank ..

Hailea - HC150A(1/10hp) is definitely not enough as i was using that initially to power my 3ft tank with the same specs. Chiller took too long to cool the tank and thus needed for an upgrade.
