The beast is here

[scuba_steveo]

still don't know what it cost. you can tell me i'm a big boy.you can't scare me. he!he!

I will tell you when you come over and see what I need for my splash guards. LOL. The prices for all the models are on ebay. He came off 13% of the marked price.

nice Steve!

Good luck. I do not know much about chillers at all but I do not think a 700 gallon system will get pulled down much by a 1/3 HP.

I absolutely agree! A beast like yours may be in my future, but first going to go the route of evaporative cooling and alternating photoperiods, with the 13HP installed to "Take the edge off".

Let me know how the beast works? So, how much was the advertised price?

that has all the prices for all the sizes

WOW :o that ain't cheap!

BTW: Watts = Volts * Amps

2/3HP: 110V * 9A = 990W
1HP: 220V * 7A = 1540W

The 1HP will most likely run less, but your overall operating cost will likely be the same. The same amount of energy is required to pull the energy (Heat) out of the water regardless of how fast it is removed.

The 1HP will definately have a lower duty cycle, so it will last longer and provide the savings in the long run.

... Nice piece of equipment!

Looks great, let us know how it runs.

60? Good grief man, you must need a blanket when you are watching your fish lol

lol
It is only set at 60 in the 14' x 8' fish room where the tank is, not the viewing room. I have tried to set it higher or to only run it some during the day but the temp skyrockets.

This is the same victor that made Blake's chiller. He has just made it less industrial looking now.

ah I see, you have on of them fancy setups
