Im currently chilling 5 tanks (two 60*30*35cm and three 30*20*28cm) using 1 chiller. Works very well for me. All the 3 small tanks are cooled by the chilled water passing through the ss pipes.

Bro, I'm still considering which pump to use for my new chiller to the SS pipe. Was thinking of Eheim 1262 but seems expensive.

Any other recommendation?

The guy that I'm getting the chiller recommend me Atman 106.

Alot of hobbyist has been using this method since end of last year. 1 chiller to chill multiple tanks without having the same water parameters.

Bro, my thoughts as follow.

3ft --> eheim 1264 --> pre filter 1 --> pre filter/dummy canister --> ss pipe (2ft tank) --> 3ft rainbar

2ft --> pre filter --> eheim 2217 --> 2ft rainbar

Actually want to find eheim 1262 but yet to see bros selling. So far only see 1260 and 1264.

Can eheim 1260 do the job?

Hi Bro,does anyone use the loop system (1 chiller,muiltiple tanks but no holding tanks) just flowing throught - pump--pre-filter--chiller--ss pipes--continuous. Is there a disadvantage??
