  1. based on our current ambient temp, its very difficult to bring down the water temp to 27-28 without a chiller.
  2. hi Cheemi what is the total volume of ur tank including the sump??? how often does ur TR15 kick in for ur 4ft tank???
  3. I'm keeping mostly tangs, Angels & Clowns fish. I suspect temp. is the main cause of the fish death, thats why I wish to invest in a chiller to bring down the temp. But I still cannot decide which brand to buy, Teco or Arctica. I'm still waiting for more feedback on this 2 brand.
  4. any idea where can I get a second hand 1/4 arctica chiller
  5. to thrive. that's why I look for a chiller to bring down the temp. Any idea where can I get a second hand 1/4hp Arctica chiller
  6. what abt your fishs survival rate??? my fish seems cannot survive long with the temp of 31 degree. thats why I tot of investing a chiller to bring down the temp.
  7. understand 1/5 hp can cater for 180 gallons max. my tank volume is about 140 gallons including sump. so is 1/5 hp too small for my tank???
  8. Hi I need some advise from any expert out there for the sizing of chiller for 4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank size. I'm looking at Teco TR15 & its spec is 800Litres max. My tank volume is about 560 Litres including the sump 1) Is this good enough for my tank size or I need to get the TR20??? 2) Is Teco Chiller better or JBJ Arctical Chiller better?? Some info on my aquarium. I'm currently on FOWLR. Future my inclde corals in it. The reason I wish to invest in chiller is because my fish cannot last long in my tank. The most is 4 to 5 mths. Initially I tot is because of high nitrate, about 20ppm. thats why I invest in nitrate reactor to bring down the nitrate to the current <5ppm. But I still face the same problem of fish dying after few mths. The rest of my parameters are ok, except the temperature. Current tank temp is 31 to 32 degree C. Initially I never tot temp is the problem because many LFS told me chiller is only needed for corals. If only fish, no need chiller. But After some indebt research, temperature also play a part for FOWLR aquarium.
