Steve175 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 Any option to remote the chiller (basement or at least outside the fishroom)? I wish I had done this in my build. Although my chillers rarely run, when they do they noticably heat the room air beyond the room HVAC capacity and, in turn, warm the water in my sump, fuge, and frag tank (which is measureble and relevant as per the temp on the isolated QT system).

No, I really don't have that option. I do have AC vents in the room, a ceiling fan as well as a fan that can run directly on the chiller if needed. I hoping that will all that and a window in the room it will be okay. I will be running Radeon LED's on the tanks so I really don't think I will even need the chiller, I have it "just in case".

SteveM September 11, 2012 Author Share September 11, 2012 Very nice. Who is manufacturing the tank? Thank you, Coast to Coast is building the tank. The front and left sides are Starfire glass. The back and right side will be painted black. It has an external overflow with 2 two inch drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM September 18, 2012 Author Share September 18, 2012 Got word from Coast to Coast that the tank will be shipped out on Oct 5th. Here's a new pic of it with the top on. Have the sump/quarantine tank stand almost done. Still need to put the plywood on. Sump will sit on the bottom. Here is what the acrylic sump will look like.
