It comes with a thermostat so no need to worry mah. Once the desired temp is reach, chiller will cut off so no power consumption lor. :angel: .

Think can support any size tank...juz the price is holding me back. :erm:

If your tank is in an industrial area... cool.

For home consumption... errrr.... its quite an overkill. Can't imagine the size, heat and the noise.

Err.... what brand izzit?

Didn't really take note abt the brand but very silent when in operation. Size is abt the size of those single air-con unit (squarish shape type).

Think with this fella, put 3 400W or 1000w MH also no prob :evil:

I use 4 x 400w and my 1.25hp Titanium chiller's been able to cope.

Best is not to get something too overspec because I highly doubt if you will go beyond 1600w like me... you have to be a notch crazier... :lol:

But then again....for that price... hmmmm....

Its the price tats very attractive :rolleyes: Though the power consumption is high but the runtime needed for it to run will be very much shorter furthermore a higher power rated chiller will also be less likely to burn out due to longer operatin hrs as compared to a lesser power rated chiller rite. And for my future plannin of a 6ft, dun need to worry abt chiller not power enough liaoz. :upsidedown:

Think you better be careful. The max current rating of ouy home power socket is only 3000watt. The chiller is 3660watt. 20%more than what the standard 13amp plug can take. You might end up causing a frequent power trip when you not at home and kill all you LS. Or you might overheat the wires and burn your house down.

The alternative is to get an electrician to go to your house and pull another power point from you service balcony which is rated at 30amps. but cannot switch on air con unless you are living in a 5 room where you can have 2 compressor one with higher amp rating.
