Tims 28g NC HQI

Thanks. I actually have a maroone clown in another tank I was eventually going to move to this one. I may wait a bit longer, I would hate to move him over if the tank wasnt stable enough for him. I have an attachment to the fish.

 

I Hope That Chiller Got Room To Breath

Are you sure the chiller would do well in an enclosed cabinet. I can see the rear side is vented but does the front cabinet door have a vent too? I believe the chiller pulls air from the front and expels it through the rear of the unit. You may want to check this out so as to be sure that your chiller won't be overheating itself ok. Otherwise the setup looks real neat and tidy!

 

When did you start your cycle?

 

I have just gotten the exact same setup. How did you plumb your chiller into the tank?
Can you throw in a few pics of the topback? thanks

 

I had the same thought. Looks like he has a side air-intake though that would help.

 

Until a week ago, I used to work for the largest distributor of JBJ products in the Midwest. All three of us told Steve and Manny from JBJ that their old stand looked like crap. It was designed that way so they could have the front open. That's when they started working on this new design. I have no doubt that they've solved the airflow issues from their end, make sure you take care of it from your end. Monthly, remove the filter from the front of the chiller and vacuum it. Put it on your calendar even.

 

All you need to do is reach into the back of one of the side compartments....pull off the plastic tube to the return, drop a powerhead in there, possibly adjust the length of the tube, and then push the plastic tube back in. JBJ has a chiller connection kit which I highly recommend.
