Also sometimes its more cost efficient to switch on aircon. This way can cool all tanks in room.

Hi Bro Silane, a bit confuse on how the above works. Any pictures to show? How much does the TEM cost? |

KPeck,
That was an old attempt in using cooling reservior, found that it is not that good. So this time, I directly put a non-corrosive heatsink into the water. Will post some of the old pics, hope will help to visualise to apply the same concept into direct cooling. biljas, Will take for picture if I unassemble it, this time, I didnt take step by step pictures. A TEM is about $20. lukeskwr, Yes, but CPU heatsink can cool down to lowest is room temperature, TEM can cool down below room temperature. Last edited by silane; 15-12-2005 at 12:13 PM. |

Hi Silane, given that your 1 ft tank can cool down to 22 degrees Centrigrade, any idea for a 2 ft or 3 ft what do you think the temp can be lowered to assuming using the same $20 TEM you are using. If can reduce more than what a fan can w/o sacrificing loss of water from evaporation, i think is worth the "extra" electrical bill. So all i need is the TEM and a PSU power supply is it? |

Dont even think to use TEM to cool down a 2ft and above, the heat need to deal with is just too much. A higher rating TEM will be needed for this case because a larger tank has more heat generated. Not worth the effort to make a TEM base chiller for 2ft and above. TEM based chiller is good for small or nano tank, as it take little space and easy to use. Basic parts are: - TEM - cold find - heatsink and fan - power supply |

ok, looks like a design for a 3ft is either a real big one or best get a chiller.
