Chiller advice for 2ft CRS - Page 2

Galatea · 28-02-2009, 03:12 PM

Isit true that eden 501 is too low a flowrate for the above mentioned chillers?
Has anyone tried the chiller ice probe by coolworks? was wondering if its good enough to bring down the temp to 24-25deg for a 1.5-2ft tank.

i think the ice probe which uses tem technology is only suitable for tanks below 1 feet size.

bro, different atmospheric temperature different case. but if you really want insights, mine is around 25 dollars per month. cl280 for 2 feet tank.

I'm using Jebao 912 which is 1000L/hr so i think still can hit above the min flow for the chiller

it's around 70 litres. but i'm staying on high floor. so at night it's also rather windy and cooling. if you want to save money but don't mind the hassle, maybe can use chiller and fan at the same time.
