Hi,

i don't know how true is it. My friend told me Atman chillers are better.

And here's another clue, our mod bro Baracuda is also using one......

I happened to use both models before .. the resun CL650 is quite powerful but loud (old version). I think the wattage is quite high too .. at ~650watts. Atman is small and quiet .. operating at abt ~320watts.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I know the consumpion for Resun is high compare with Atman but the price is a great diff. from the two. Resun Cl650 is selling at 430-450 depend on LFS but Atman is at 650! How abt the reliability? I think this is more impt for me.

The old resun runs as quiet as other chillers - If you remove the casing. So all u see is the open compressor & stuff.(which you won't want in front of the tank for everyone to see).
i got my thermostat rewired to a .00 decimal one. Making it a little more accurate and so it doesn't come on & off so often.(which was my main concern due to the h/p)

basicly buying a cheap workhorse chiller then enhancing it. Never seen a chiller pull down temp like the resun 650.

The plastic casing amplifies the noise a lot. Sounds like a plane on a runway next to your tank.

Budget? already spent more than 3K for my two chillers and lately just brought another Resun CL280 for my SH tank. Anyway, I have sent my TECO for servicing today and may want to buy back TECO again. Got a TW6 Tload unit running and will test the performance. If is good may buy TW6 if not will sell away the old unit and get a cheap chiller like Resun.
