Anyone Uses Ice Probe ... ?

14-10-2004, 04:10 PM

I read from some URLs that there is this stuff called the Ice Probe ( or something sounds similar ). It works like a chiller except more handy. May I know how effective is this stuff and if my setup is 2.5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft, will this be effective ...... ?

its not that cheap either.. and if i dun remember wrongly.. it doesn't come with a thermostat... so its difficult to maintain constant temperature

Better spend the dollars to get a reliable "used" chiller ...

But then chiller is damm power hungry right ? 200w still not enough, need to add extra power for pump also. Operating a chiller is like running another fridge or air con in the house, right ? Moreover, I heard chillers are noisy oso .....

If so, mywife will kill me leh .........

i remembered reading from somewhere...the maximum recommended size of tank when using ice probe is 2ft...and when using on a 2 feeter..the maximum the temp can decrease is only 1-2 degrees

Excuse me ... I am having 2x250W chillers and 1x150W Chiller to cool my 1x3ft & 2x6ft tanks and btw, I am using all T5 lightings.

Guess how much is the SP utilities monthly bill?

My OC doesn't even know the increase in utilities bill as the increases are negligible and likewise for heat and don't even have problems with heat n noise.

Get a good brand like Artica or Daeil Chiller .. it's a proven product and having many satisfied customers ... I am one of them

The brand is the Daeil Model DBA110 and it will set you back a cool $900 for a cooll 110W.
