SRC Member Dorado Posted September 24, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 24, 2005 Bro, if you change to 3 X 250W lumenarch, you will have the same problem as me.. cos I'm also using the same chiller as yours. Running lumenarch reflectors will heat up the water real fast. BTW, what's the temp u set on yr chiller ? 26-28 Bro, I set it at 25-27 degree. What do you think, adjust to 26-28? I think, I will stick to my current mh fitting, already broke................. Maybe see what I get for year end bonus if any! Then will upgrade to luminarc and chiller.

SRC Member hamannbmw Posted September 25, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 25, 2005 nice...wished I have a great scape like yours... Great tank Hey DB, long time no c. How's yr tank doing... BTW, while cleaning return pump this morning, broke the shaft of my 2nd return pump Quietone6000. This evening turn on the 3 X MH, surprise that the chiller able to maintain the heat load. I was thinking whether to fix it up and run it back to the tank, right now using only 1 eheim 1262. Is 1 X 1262 sufficient ? Some opinion please guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 If you want to reduce the number of return pump due to heat issues then putting the pump externally will help in a way.

I was thinking whether to fix it up and run it back to the tank, right now using only 1 eheim 1262. Is 1 X 1262 sufficient ? Some opinion please guys. yup..been a while....just went Iwarna for a look today.. actually passing by, was bringing my girl to see some puppies and kittenss at ericsson pet farm..... My tank is on auto run...acros are doing so so without great colours as I havent pay attention to the water qualities for a while...lol.. Luckily Joe's skimmer is a work horse.....w/o ReefManiacs' skimmer...I'll be in big trouble than some brown out acros... Will try to get a Phos reactor running soon to lower the phos level...been procrastinating on that... Regarding the pump..drilling a outlet is not a huge problem...you can replace the sump if you want to as well... it does help a lot if your pumps are running out of the sump...(Wei Leong is right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest u teach her reefing instead yr tank always give me inspiration... remember last time my LPS tank.. also follow yr rescape ...hahahaha, cos I like "jam packed" tank But u havent teach me how u place yr mixed reef (hardly see any rock space and sand) I wonder how much heat loss will there be, I wonder if there's a calculation for that. Cos, If I fix up the Quietone and if the chiller cant support, I'll likely go for a better chiller.... $ not easy to earn leh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
