SRC Member speakerphone Posted January 10, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted January 10, 2009 B4 i install artica chiller-$200++. After artica chiller-$400+++. 6fts tank with only 4 ati lights.Suspect the bulk of bills are from the chiller. Kick in often. Could be bcos of full height cabinet ###### partition tank-heat trap inside cabinet. install air con compressor for ur tank and see ur bills drop Same case here. sometime wanted to hear pain pain spend $1800 change to air compressor and get the money back in 9 months time but reducing electrical bill. But the piping work may drive my wife crazy . Alternative, Am suggested me to install external tempreture controller which is about few hundred. This might be a good option but now I got to spend on the skimmer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
