Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi,
I recently installed a chiller in my 100 liter tank+sump setup. The chiller is rated for up to 360 liter, so it should be more than big enough.
Beside the fact that it is very noisy, I am getting very poor performance. It chills the water at about 0.1-0.2 degrees (centigrade) an hour, and does not seem to be able to chill the water below 26.5 degrees. Room temperature is about 28-30 degrees.
I run it off the sump return pump, which is rated at 40.5 liter / min. The manual for the chiller says to run it at 20-35 liter/min.
Could the water flow through the chiller be too high? Could anyone that has experience using chillers give some advice as to whether to run it on a high speed pump or a low speed pump.
