  1. Would just like to start another thread so as to leave the other thread HOT thread alone. :lol: I'm sure a lot of us here are interested to get our hands on the ATI tubes but not sure when they are coming. Bro thc, heard that it's coming... can give us a rough estimate? I think a lot of us here might want to wait a while if it is coming within this 2 months :yeah::yeah: If not... maybe we have to get D&D first :unsure: No need to worry abt giving an estimate la... if cannot get also nvm, u r just doing us a favour ;) Just wanted to know how's the progress like :D

  2. Sorry, some calculation went wrong here.

    If your 150W chiller works 24/7. Then base on calculation

    24 x 7 x 150 = 25.2Kw per day.

    25.2Kw x 4 x 0.2102 = $100.80 per month

    Compare a 400W chiller that works 8hrs a day

    8 x 7 x 400 = 22.4Kw per day

    22.4Kw x 4 x 0.2102 = $89.60 per month

    Your calculation is wrong la... Don't scare ppl :lol:

    Take the 400w chiller running for 8hrs a day...

    400/1000(kW) x 8hrs = 3.2kWh/day

    Cost per day = 3.2 x $0.2102(our tariff now) = $0.67264

    So it cost only $0.67264 per day to run the 400w chiller for 8hrs a day... (idle time negligible)

    Cost per month = $0.67264 x 30 = $20.1792

    ;););)

  3. Actually I'm looking at 150W instead of my exsting 200W in order to save electricity. :P My wife complain about the hike in electric bill as now is already $0.21 per unit. :evil:

    I don't think its worth it to downgrade to another chiller. First, you lose quite a lot of money when u sell this chiller second hand and then to buy a new one. The amount you lose can easily cover quite a few months or maybe more than a year of electricity bills on chiller only.

    Secondly, lower wattage of the same model also means lower power. The chiller has to run longer to cool your tank down. In the end, not much savings from electricity bill. If your new chiller can't cope in the coming hot spell, the electricity bill might even be higher instead. You can try explaining this to your wife... maybe no need to change :P

  4. I'm downgrading doesn't mean no more using chiller!!! :D

    Wife make noise becos electricity too high so looking for lower power chiller. :cry:

    I think Artica is considered low powered already. Don't think you can get a lower powered chiller with the same cooling capacity. If u still need a chiller for your tank, I would advise u not to tell. ;)

  5. Anyone wants to swop? I have a lot of these discosomas spreading around... just caught 2 of these babies floating around. Just wondering if anyone wants to swop. Would like to increase the variety of mushies in my tank :D Preferably trade in the west.

    This is supposed to be a blue discosoma. But dunno why change to purple after under aquarium lights. Still looked blue under sunlight or LED light. Anyway, it looks like its turning blue after I changed my T5s. You can see from this picture.

  6. I have a Resun CL650 for sale. Used for 1 year+. Less than 1.5years. Still in very good condition. It has not given me any problems at all. Able to cool down my 4x2x2 with no problem. Takes abt 30-45mins to cool down from 29-27.5.

    Asking for $250. :)
