Well today i stayed home instead of going fishing because my jbj chiller was due to arrive...when I first initially ordered the unit i was looking for a good deal and found what appeared to be a reasonable price on the Internet ... A day or two later i had not heard back from them regarding wether the item had been shipped or not ., thats when i realized that i had ordered the cooler thru " aquacon" .,well, my heart sank a little because of all the horror stories involved with them.., so yesterday i called them to chew some butt but was met with a very pleasant girl who checked up on my order and informed me that it was to be at my doorstep the next day ( today )... So besides not leaving me a tracking / shipping notice they did just fine ( whew )
So anyway.., in order to get this unit next to my sump and return pump i had to relocate a couple of reactors and knock out a board etc.., long story short , she's in !!!! ..., but not after a mad scramble to find a couple of hose clamps to " seal" the deal and eliminate a couple of steady little drips.
So far she's been running for about an hour and wow is she ever quiet ., you cannot tell its even running... Its brought the tanks temperature down about a degree so far .., my target of 78* is in sight.... Nice to know that ( hopefully ) the tank will stay at a constant temp when those hot scorching days are among us.
