That's what I got! :) Water parameters are more stable with bigger tanks and easier to maintain as compared to nano tanks where we have to do distilled water top up for evaporation.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480596460908914665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058143112130851265.post-44882907051823958662013-07-08T02:03:00.605-07:002013-07-08T02:03:00.605-07:00oh ok....cool~

On the ele...Hey Tommy appreciate you kind support.<br /><br />On the electrical bills, it really depends on the chiller you are running. <br />I got a Resun CL 280. About $15 more per month thereabouts.<br /><br />What size tank are you intending to run the set up on?<br /><br />As to whether it is hot, yes if you stand at the back of it it does exude a little heat but in a space of a big room it will be air cooled. So not much concern there.<br /><br />APAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480596460908914665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058143112130851265.post-20712979708501472672013-07-06T18:38:44.176-07:002013-07-06T18:38:44.176-07:00nice blog..!!...been reading for sometime ;)
