Sid's 15gal bedroom build

Very nice... What type of Chiller is that?

 

lol they all seem very true

 

A freebie aqua medic 1/10HP
A Christmas present from the LFS where I work.

 

Oh man, that list.......lol


Jeez sid, you've always got something going on. I like it! Btw, that dog is epic cute man.

 

I know I can't seem to stop lol;D
I'm actually scared to see what the electricity bill is like at the end of the month lol.
The trigger build is next and then the 250gal frag tanks;D

 

This is the light I plan on getting. If not I'd go with the retrofit.
I think the retro might cost more.
T5-ho 24" /2 lamp aquarium Light

 

You know, I actually have heard great things about fishneedit lights. They've got a great design.

 

Well, I think that seals the deal, you really can't go wrong with 56 bucks for an adequate light

 

So I finally figured out how to work that chiller. It has a built in heater which is good because my room gets super cold in the night with the AC on when I checked the temp in the tank, it was 67F in the tank so I would have to run the heater in the night to keep the temp at 78F.
The chiller is still kinda confusing me because I assumed that the heater and chiller would work hand in hand. In other words, either the two would switch on automatically to maintain a proper temp but I don't think that is the case.

 

Just an update, I took out the chiller because it didn't make much sense to have it running since my room AC is always on.
But I still need to get a heater. I'll probably get two of em in case one fails.
Is 74F too cold? Ideally I'd like to keep it at 77.
I found a leak the other day so I had to take it down to seal it up.
Needless to say, ammonia spiked but came back down within 2 days.
i did a new aquascape, I like this one.
