Added on May 18, 2011, 2:17 pmat 1.50pm my chiller reading is 26.1 (since I already setup back the temp control at 26)...then just 5 minutes ago...to be exact 2.10pm (it stopped), my chiller reading is 24.7...

is this correct behaviour?

Nopes
It should had stop at 26.0
It seems that there is some wiring prob with your chiller
Thermostats reading is correct but it is unable to stop after reaching correct temp
The temp stop at 24.7C because it is the max chilling capability of your hailea (I guess)
I currently using 2215 with hailea 150a. Temp set 27C. So far so good

bro,
what is your tank size?

Not because it's expensive. Because it's damn sticky.
Salt all over the tank and lamp and basically everywhere. In a long run I think it will destroy my LCD and other electronic gadgets. Haha..


Well I spend whole day last week to DIY a cover with minimum air leakage with vent pulling the air out side. Somehow it worked.
The salt is a major issue. New 2.5 feet tank on the way. Going to collect it this evening. I'm still deciding of having a planted tank thou. But, "EMILY : Planted tank is so boring". Now aku pening kepala dah. Haha.. She forgot to log out when she use my browser. Haha.. Marine tank is so hard to maintain somehow. My LED light above the tank started to oxidized. =x

2.5ft tank need how many kg of sand? also how much is the co2 refill say a small 5 liter tank? Rm300+- inclusive of all other co2 equipment like the bubble counter and stuff? Eh, when you free jom la teman me to the shop and buy. I'm not good in planted tank. =x

20inch cube
Small tank only

ermm..mine 3 feet, its took about 1 and half hour to cold down to 26.
and the flow water is so slow..thinking to have another canister to cover the flow...
what do you guys think?

Me. I used to have 2 X 6ft tank and 2 X 2ft tank in my room. I keep Arowana, Discus ( Dont know how to spell the real name), Piranha's and Oscar.
The only problem I have is when I want to change the water. Have to really careful or your room will smell like fish market for weeks.
And my room is carpeted. =x

what is the written flow rate of ur current canister and chiller ?

3 feet tank with 1000L/h is too slow
My 20inch cube is using eheim 2234 and 2215
I think you need another 1000L/h
How long is your hose from filter to chiller, chiller to tank?
Your filter is fully packed with media?

filter - eheim 2217
chiller - hailea hc 150 a
suppose to be compatible this two..

5 liter is a small tank? then my 0.5 liter tank how tiny? hahahaha 5liter im sure its rm20 in sg besi. mine refilled at rm10!

rm300++ can find but itll be big. u can get regulators below rm100 and the tank at about rm200. another rm50 for tubes buble counter and all.

when u first bought ur chiller, have u asked how to install? is ur chiller is install before ur filter?
perhaps there's mistake during the installation. can draw us a picture?

inlet (filter) -> filter -> outlet (filter) -> Inlet (chiller) -> chiller -> outlet (chiller)

the flow is like this..

Added on May 19, 2011, 7:57 amwhich filter that connect to chiller?
hows the performance before and after install chiller?

mine, before this using standard inflow and outflow, then i change to lily pipe 13mm...

2215 is connected to the chiller
Hose length: 4feet from tank to filter, 2.5feet from filter to chiller, 4 feet from chiller back to tank
My 2215 is only 60% media because hose length is quite far
Flow rate doesn't seems effect much before/after install chiller

My piping is less than yours, maybe chiller is the culprit..
i will get salesman to come to my house to fix everything that he sell to me! ..haha

i think u should set up like this:
inlet (chiller) -> chillerr -> outlet (chiller) -> Inlet (filter) -> filter -> outlet (filter)
try to get a check valve for ur hose connection for chiller, while u syphone out the water to fill the chiller and connect the hose from ur chiller outlet to ur filter inlet.

it's not neceesary to get the pump for ur aquarium to pump the water to ur chiller.

If like this, all debris might sangkut at chiller right?
Nevermind, i think i already found the culprit. It is a lily pipe. The want that suck water out. Im using 13mm. Suppose to use 17mm

Added on May 20, 2011, 11:11 amis there anybody here use water pump to connect with chiller?

---

Added on May 20, 2011, 11:27 amstill my chiller will kick at 27 degree (set at 26 degree)..then temp increase from 27.1,27.2 and up to 29c...
is there any method to place the chiller? I mean do not block the back side of chiller or..

This post has been edited by tyja: May 20 2011, 11:27 AM

Arh. 2217 need 17mm inlet and 12mm outlet
DO NOT connect tank->chiller->filter->tank
All dirty water will flow into your chiller before filter

Do not block front and back of the chiller
Chiller shall not be placed inside cabinet

Yes. It is possible to connect a pump (submerge/emerge) also can
But both kind of pump will generate much more heat compare to canister
