Panworld Water Pump is still available! bucky1168, Yes, I still have the pump. Its currently taking up space in one of my closets. It had been in use for about 1.5 years. Runs great! As for noise level... Given the fact that it is a large 1900GPH pressure pump, its pretty quite. It has been said that Panworld pumps are quiter than Iwaki, I belive this to be true. Photos can be seen on Craigslist under "quarium pump" If you type in Sandy, Oregon it should also come up. Sorry, dont have access to the camera or computer file to share. Thanks, Mt. Dreamer

Sea Swirl repair- PM to reefhut Reefhut, Sent you a pm last night... just checking to see if you had recieved it. Thanks, Mt. Dreamer

Do you have any photos of the neon green finger leathers? Prices? Thanks

Thanks to all who have helped me try to chill Thanks so much for the advice and comments. The information has been very helpful and appreciated in making a difficult and costly decision easier. The electrician (family friend) came out tonight to look at possibly adding a baker just for the chiller. He said it would be an easy job. Maybe for him. lol. Now I have another decision to make, should I put the chiller in the garage or crawl space? If I put it in the garage, I would need an even bigger pump... More noisy. Does anyone know if there is a maxium amount of distance between the sump and pump intake? Thought that it would be nice to put the pump in the crawl space. This would give me more cabinet space and definitely reduce noise. I didn't realize adding a chiller would entail so much planning. Maybe it just me being overly worried. My fish/corals better thank me this summer for the headache I have this winter. brian...aka:Mt. Dreamer

The temp in my aquarium has stayed steady at 81.5 for at least 5 hours now. (checked:4:00PM/5:30PM/8:15PM) The only thing I can attribute this to is the fact I have not plugged back in my heaters since last night (appox 11:30PM). As far as lights on...just the two 250watt MH. They have been on since about 8:00AM today. I dont usally keep my lights on this long. However, I'm trying to get this heat thing under control which requires some testing to see what works. Things are a bit out of wack! The heaters (4) are relatively new Jager 250watts. They are set at 79 degrees. The heater lights periodicaly do come on even when the water is above 79 degees. Usually this is after I have messed with them, but occasionally long after that. Does this seem normal? Jay... your pumps,etc. is in your garage...the aquarium too? Ever have any problems with pipes leaking during really cold winter days/nights? If I do decide to get a chiller, I may keep it in my crawl space. This is not between floors, but rather below my house. My only concern would be if it got too cold it may crack the pipes and or chiller. How many gph is the chiller pump you use? Brian

Hi Jay, How much would you say your electric bill increased once you started using the chiller? How often is it in the on mode? If you were to buy a chiller for your same aquarium set-up again, would you still go with a 1/2HP or 1HP? I have read/told that its better to get a larger chiller (one size up then what maybe needed). What would you compare the noise the chiller put out to? What brand chiller do you have? How long have you had it? Any problems? thanks, Brian

Thanks so much for the responses to my questions. Its nice to think fellow hobbiest would take the time to address my concerns. It is things like this that make me feel like I should become a member. What do I have that maybe producing heat? (1) Tunze stream 6100, UV Sterilizer (Aqua Ultraviolet-57 Watt), dual MH 400watt, dual MH 250watt, Pan World 1900gph pump, Pan World pump 790gph (for skimmer), (2) 1" Sea Swirls, (3) Jager Heaters 250watt. I unpluged my heaters last night. I did this to lower the heat in my tank to hopfully 79 degrees. Before unplugging heaters and lights off, temp was 84.3 (about 9:00PM). At about 6:00am Life Gard aquarium temp read: 82.6 Sump was one degee higher. I turned on my 250watt MH lights. At noon aquarium temp read:80.8 (if it stayed at this, I would be happy) Sump was 81.9 I keep my house temp at 62 degrees. Yesterday room temp was 70 degrees. Still dont know which way to go: changing lights or chiller. I'm pretty sure fans are not for me. Can someone educate me on how a chiller works? Do they run continualy? I would think that in order to keep up with the heat that the above items are producing, a chiller would run all the time. Thanks Brian

Thanks for the suggestions... I'm now thinking my return pump mabe thowing off too much heat. It may be too large of a pump then what is really needed. It is a pan World Pump (PW-250PS) 1900gph External. From the sump it returns to (2) 1" Sea Swirls on the ends of the tank and (2) 3/4" loc Line fittings in the center of tank. I admit I dont understand how to caulate/size a needed water pump. I went with the biggest, not thinking about the heat. I maybe wrong in my thinking. The size maybe just right. Help!! Does anyone have a 1HP inline Chiller (Pacific Coast) that they can give me feedback. I would like to know how often it is running, appox. monthly cost to run, heat and noisy. I have never had a chiller. When I hear/see 1HP, I freak. Seems like alot of electricity. I'm not too crasy about using fans to cool a tank. This is mainly because of the noise and replacing water lost by increased evaporation. Not to mention mold problems. I tried the 250watt MHs alone today and still the tank water went up 2 degrees. Before I turned the lights on the temp was 81.9 went I got home from work it was 84.3 My fish/corals are doing ok, but I'm worried that continued temp flux maybe tolerated only so much longer. Again, I really dont like having too much plug in hardware. I try to make things simple. Electricity use is a big concern!!! Thanks again Brian

I have a question about lighting choices, I'm hoping someone can answer. I have a 360 gallon aquarium (96"Lx24"Wx36"T). It houses mainly 3 large marine angels and a few soft corals. I also have two anemones. Curently, I'm running dual 400 watt halides (20,000K). I also somtimes run dual 250watt metal halides (20,000K) with the 400 watts. My tank is experinceing a heat problem (83F-84F). Even with just running the 400 halides by them selves, the tank is too warm! Its not even summer yet. I have been thinking about buying a chiller, however I'm not crazy about the idea. Its not the up front cost of a chiller, but rather the monthly electrical cost that scares me. Plus the heat in the room and noise they put out. So... I'm thinking about changing my lighting to reduce the heat factor. I figure since my aquarium is mainly a "fish only system" light out put is not as critical. I was thinking of switching to a t5 TEK system (Sunlight Supply). Anyone have experince with this type of lights? Would they give off less heat? I would miss the stunning MH spectrum and shimmer. However I'm trying to lower my electic bill by less usage. I also try to make thing as simple as posssible without jeopardizing too much efficiency and quality. Imput on these lights and chillers would be much apprecited. Thanks... Brian
