Jewel Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Better to mount outside the house, like usual aircon compressor. Then u can enjoy yr tank, without the hot air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel fish Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I staying in 3 room corner HDB last time placed my Chiller in the hall with hot air blowing out window but hall still pretty hot 30C. Now I placed it in kitchen with open windows so hall ambient temperature not that hot about 26C during raining days & 29C on very hot weather. Also my advise get a bigger capacity Chiller or at least a Chiller which match your aquarium capacity to set at 26C so Chiller will run average half an hour intervals. If you got an undersize Chiller which unable to handle your aquarium capacity then it will be pretty hot with your undersize Chiller running non stop.

Admiraltian Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I used to run it beside my tank. It was very hot and humid in the living hall even during cool and rainy days. It's nothing like compared to those conventional aquarium chillers where if u chose an oversized one where kick in time is extended. Heat is get trapped and built up in my hall even though the compressor only kick in like every 2-3hrs, probably due to the powerful fcu in it. This has caused a lot of displeasure among my family members. Haha... in the end I shifted it to my kitchen service yard. Bro chercm, u shd get the air con guys to advise u. They will be able to advise u better on how to shift away from ur living room. I did mine and now everyone's happy. It will cost a few hundred though as they will need to re-weld ur drop coil and re-route pipe and insulation.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Display Tank : 36" x 20" x 20" Herbie overflow box design, Sump : 36" x 21" x 17", Frag Tank : 16” x 20” x 16”, custom built by Tank Culture.

DerrickLim Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mine is on the air con ledge and then conceal all the trunking. But long piping will drop the efficiency of the compressor. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiraltian Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've pm u. Derrick doesn't do relocation of compressor. This sub contractor is recommended by him though.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Display Tank : 36" x 20" x 20" Herbie overflow box design, Sump : 36" x 21" x 17", Frag Tank : 16” x 20” x 16”, custom built by Tank Culture.
