You need to keep an eye on stuff in your tank at night. Something might be messing with it.

You got any corals close to it?

[Darbex]

True didnt think about that. Hey I some how killed my plate coral. Well it isnt dead yet but its acting super strange only half of it will inflate when it does but right now its staying completely deflated and retracted in its "shell". Dont know what is going on

[myjohnson]

I like it!

If it makes too much noise can you put a timer on it so it only kicks on during the day and shuts off at night while you sleep?

It's also cooler at night so you might not need it so much then.

[Darbex]

So it was successful. Well at least getting it to run now we will have to see if it successfully lowers the temp. After about an hour it has dropped about 1.5 degrees. So to build it since the heat sink base is to large to fit in the sump of the JBJ AIO. I decided to rig a set up for it since I did not want to drill the tank to get the Ice Probe into the sump. I modded an AC200 with the added benefit of having more water volume and creating another fuge.



I took the top and cut out a hole to insert the probe since I did not have the drill but to cut a nice pretty hole I am not going to show you the hole since its fugly and ghetto.



Here it is on the back of the tank



Only downside is this has created more noise since the water is flowing a bit of a distance to the water below.

Even with the AC at 70 at night the temp drops to 82 from 87. Not enough

[Darbex]

Too expensive. I am going to mod an AC. I just picked one up and will make it another fuge with the Ice Probe cooling the water as well. I will post some pics tonight of the set up.

[tang-chaser]

turn the ac up in the house!!!!

[Darbex]

Huh? Its the novatech Ice probe. I was going to put the probe into the water in the sump with the fan pointing up but the space is too small. The only way to get it in is to drill a bulkhead and mount it on the side in the sump. I am thinking about getting a fuge so I can put it in it.

[myjohnson]

put it next to the stand foo!

[Darbex]

Just got the chiller in and its to big to fit in the sump. I need to figure out how to get it to work really need to cool the water down got a new thermometer and as I feared my water is about 85

[Darbex]

No idea it just stopped opening up and slowly shriveled never saw anything messing with it.

[madugo]

the pink poly died??
what happened...

[Darbex]

You going to buy me some? I want to make sure that I get the hang of what I have first. With the Acan and the Pink poly biting the dust want to make sure nothing bad is going on.

[myjohnson]

This tank need some SPS!
