Hailea Chiller with External Temperature Controller without modification to the chiller and without DIY risk (Part 1)

Finally, solve the chiller problem without any modifications to the chiller and without DIY the external temperature controller. And this equipment is very resonable in price. I am using Hailea HC-300A chiller.

Will do a review in near future, so let the equipment run in for a fair review.

So happy now......

Sad day/week (Pico tank as at 10 Jun 12)

What a sad week! Loss a clarkii clownfish in the pico tank... ,  the clarkii clownfish is from the 2 feet tank and it is with me for more than 9 months to a year. It comes very sudden. Its body developed white spots, then started to breathing heavily. The next day, I changed 40% of the water and put a UV light to the tank. After a day, she is gone..... Indeed, the marine Ich or could be marine velvet are very deadly.

Now, turn on the UV light and hope it will not spread to other fishes. Until today, all the fishes look healthy.




Always a challenge in keeping marine fishes in pico tank.................

DIY Chiller with External Temperature Contoller

I come across a video on DIY a temperature controller. The controller can be brought from ebay easily. There are several models of temperature controllers. I suggest use All-purpose Temperature Controller STC-1000. It is about S$30-35. The challenge is to DIY the connections, it is not so difficult. But you must know what you are doing, if you are not sure, then donot do it!

The advantages is normally the external temperature controller have more features such as the delta difference in temperature for the chiller to kick in beside the normal 1 degree C.

Hope you can learn some things from the video.

Enjoy the video.
