[Diy Chiller]

anyone think of DIY chiller.

me n fren thought of doing one simple

setup when the lights come onz at nite

the water get heated quite fast.

1) simple icepack clam onto the water tube hose.

Need to check n monitor 2hrs or so. (twin icepack, rotating)

Wrap with insulation material to preserve the temperature

of icepack. The size of icepack to decide by size of tank.

Should be similar like a chiller effect.

2) Styrofoam box drill with holes near the bottom n sealed

with silicon. the water tube hose is insert into holes. using

a few icepack drape over the hose. size of box depends on

the Styrofoam box.

To prevent overchill, optimum size of icepack n Styrofoam

box is needed. (eg. different size for different tanks)

Fan can only drop temp to ard 28c, but with the icepack

maintain ard 27c should not be a problem. There should

not be drastic temperature. If from morning till late afternoon,

with fan, temperature should maintain 27c. late afternoon

with the lights (esp MH) come on, temperature easily hit 29-30c.

After photoperiod is over, and effect of the icepack method

bolek, can close shop n sleep. temperature still maintain

ard 27-28c in the night. Main concern is those with heavy

duty lights heating the tank upz.

I think the Styrofoam box method will at least last, 5hours

or so, with good insulation.

the other icepack clam method, maybe 2hours max.
