he died!

Hi Bro,

U must be referring to last nite last show ah? But his legend still live on, quite sad with the ending, i almost drop some tears ...

Felt that he died too young and he could accomplish much more although his current achievement is something to be proud of!

Finally, chiller installed and running at 330am...

Hailea still no stock, so decided to cough more 'blood' for the jbj 1/5 chiller. Current temp set at 28 degrees, will slowly adjust to expected temp at 25.5 degrees since there are livestock in the tank.

Since Tank size is 4 x 2 x 2.5 (HT), after less 25 %, Total nett water volume should be ard 560 litres. Hence i reckon 1/5 should be enff for this setup plus not much or no heat induced into the tank by the LED is one of the main factor.

Initial idea was to place the chiller vertically against the wall, but decided against it as 'warm air' channel out by the chiller might flow back into the tank.

did you calibrate your chiller?

[jackywongto]

did you calibrate your chiller?

and i have adjust the thermosat to match my water temp...i follow wat was in the instruction manual

Yeah I think that was the calibration step I was talking about.

Hi Bro,

For hailea model, if i remember correctly, once set at 28 degrees, the chiller should only kick in at 29 degrees mah. Eh r u using the external controller with the chiller? If yes, then before using the controller, what was the difference in degrees when kick in?

Btwn u still on hailea or Jbj now?

i'm still using hailea w/o ext temp controller...ok, means i have calibrated...

my tank has lots of tiny little particles....do u have this problem? or i need to place more filter wool...

[jackywongto]

paiseh paiseh Siang. I thot you are using Artica.

regarding micro particles, are you using the filer socks that Peter brings in?

I think those can help.

You can try lor, most probably is the overflow pipe to ur sump or skimmer that is causing the micro 'particles' . Very unsightly especially when the lights are on right??

yah can also be your microbubbles from the skimmer.

Switch off the skimmer for 20 - 30 mins and observe if the condition improves.

If yes, then it is the skimmer liao. get the socks also no use. maybe get a filter wool and place it on the skimmer output then before the return compartment.
