Seano Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 So I'm going away for CNY and my west facing flat gets up to 30-31 degrees during the day. My nano sized 10G aquarium challenged by its own thermal mass worries me that I'll come to a bunch of dead coral (again, heh) So I invested in a shiny new AL30 to protect my tank while I'm gone. I wanted this quick review to highlight its ability to cool the tank and maintain temperature. Below are 2 images I took from starting temp to desired temp. So after 2 hours and 20 mins I was able to get it down 2.3 degrees. It is set to cool again once it hits 28. Though it probably takes around 1.5 hours to climb back up to 28. The chiller has its own temperature probe which sits in the tank. The chiller only comes on while it's cooling in case anyone was wondering. All in all I'm fairly happy with it, I don't feel it's going to negatively impact my electricity bill too much but I'll be monitoring. Once I'm back from over seas I'll look to pretty up the hoses as they are kind of just jammed in the tank right now.

SRC Member NiVleKsg Posted January 29, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted January 29, 2017 You can run your return pumo through the chiller. I am using a AL60 for the 10G tank. Works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
