Now it runs for about 30mins after approx an hour break. Setting at 0.5 degrees delta. I bought the motor at dunlop street, not the controller though :)

It will come with

1x temperature controller

1x 3m silicon PTC probe

1x black plastic box

1x special 3pin socket for the atman chiller

All internal wirings are rated at 600V which is originally used for aircon. Additional switches can be added but its excluded to minimise internal wiring as the wires used are very thick and stiff.

Free on site calibration and installation with mercury lab thermometer. ;)

can i find out details of this mod? thanks

Would it cause a problem if you have an external digital timer that is programmed to power up the chiller only from 6:30am up to say, midnight ?

Would it cause premature burnout of chiller or would the practice prolong it ?

In terms of electricity consumption, which one makes more sense --- running it by 7x24 or only running it on a phased mode of some kind ?

I would strongly discourage running it by a timer. Technically, runnning a chiller using a timer would pose no technical problems. However, we strive to maintain a constant temperature in our mini reefs with minimum temperature fluation. Let the temperature do it's job.

Cheer! ;)
