A Little Tank Update

[roidan]

yeah lor....i think can get the higher horsepower units..then run the water piping a bit longer using insulation foams on the water pipings...and can place the compressor unit alongside our usual aircon compressor units....sure wun warm the house...but u will lose some efficiency due to the length of the piping

[roidan]

Prices are all out of range...

yeah...probably not accurate, coz took from US order site....

singapore prices may be different lor....have to ship here..change a few hands...

anyway, if i find myself needing to upgrade my chiller...will get a teco RA-2000...my personal choice

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

aiyoh....Teco also good ah.... which one to choose leh?

[weileong]

Errrm.... get the largest one?

Dunno the local distributor got bring in this or not, can go check out the performance

[roidan]

i think try artica not bad...seems like can save alot of electricity while having a good cooling capacity...

can try

[weileong]

It is impossible to be 100% efficient one right? Anywhere LFS selling artica got an Artica running? So I can go measure the temp difference

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

Errrm.... get the largest one?

Dunno the local distributor got bring in this or not, can go check out the performance

check Aqua Nautics Gary Chew they are sole distributors....tel: 6 481 33 66

[roidan]

yeah..i think cannot have 100% efficiency in such cooling units...

last time all those thermodynamics and heat transfer knowledge all return to prof liao..

that time one bro mentioned he going to japan for some automotive aircon stuff, i think he can give an indepth analysis of such cooling units..ehhe

but i think the artica is worth a try....not many users here compared to other brands...whether in the marine or tropical/freshwater realms..

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

i think try artica not bad...seems like can save alot of electricity while having a good cooling capacity...

can try

ok lah...try Artica and become guinea pig for other reefers.....

then can do review because seem no one here using that brand....sekali....not so good chiak lat one....but read the reviews very excellent leh.

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

OK now for lights.....going for 2 X 400Watts....plus T5's......

sounds like lightningstrike.

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

Lightningstrike air con man...ah Good can repair and give good discount later on.....

I have notice some reefers here r using a combination of MH n T5, wats the advantage thought Mh is already sufficient

[weileong]

The T5 must be artinic

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

MH doesn't come in Acthinic Blue so you need to supplement that with T5's bro....

[terryansimon]

Lightningstrike air con man...ah Good can repair and give good discount later on.....

he's not an aircon man. he told me he has knowledge in the field lah. (=

[hamannbmw]

wat about PL or FL, other than t5's

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

wat about PL or FL, other than t5's

yes you could use that provided it's Acthinic Blue with a high wattage. As you know T5's have a good strong spectrum so thats why we go for the best....

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

fellow reefers......finally decided on getting the commercial unit 1/2 hp for my tank....damn excited man..... Unit will be arriving this Friday......

Now can keep penguin and polar bear......

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

it's here.....

[weileong]

wow... finally....

When can I expect your first pengiun to be born?

Remember to pass me the most cute one!

How's the noise of the chiller

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

he...he...want to try polar bear also....

at first it was noisy when kick started but then I realized that my floor was uneven and placed it on some high stools to balance it near my window. After that it was peace and quiet....

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

oooops...sorry about the blur pic.....

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

green bubble one of my favorites......

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

Been waiting for this fella...... got it from Ocean Planet....very healthy specimen.....
