He ask about ice probe, you tell him you use resun...
For a small tank like 1.5ft, the probe can drop temp down to 25C. Also it depends on where the tank is located and the ambient temp. You can add a fan to try and drop another degree but will have to deal with high evaporation. It runs 24/7 at 50W if I didn't remember wrongly. Also at the price it's selling new, save abit more and get a proper chiller. Better in the long run. Last edited by elimmel; 18-01-2011 at 12:35 PM. |

Chiller can be hooked to internal pump but that's for big tanks with sump.
Having an internal filter in a small tank only serves to increase the temp. Get a external filter with a flowrate suitable for the chiller. Go to resun or hailea websites to see the chillers that are suitable for small tanks. That said, would advise you to upgrade to a 2ft tank where it's easier to match equipments. Not to mention providing a more stable environment for your shrimps. Last edited by elimmel; 18-01-2011 at 01:32 PM. |
