I've just added a chiller to my new tank, big investment but totally worth it. I've been sitting pretty at 25c for the last week!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this experiment. Love your videos brother!

@beerthirst476 Жыл бұрын

For that price point I would expect an inbuilt temperature probe.....example turns fan on when water at 26 and turns off at 25.5 etc. Think I'll stick with a desktop clip on fan !

Will it work with a temp controller (? I've never had 1 I just use 2 under powered) heaters instead

I was really interested until you said 100 quid haha!!

@@ReefDorkXtra bit pricey! I understand though it may have cost them a lot in production but 100 is a little too high for my liking!

1000千港幣？😱同部水冷機價錢一樣😅

Too pricey for a tight Yorkshire man like me. Loved the video though - great watch 👍🙂

Tunze looks a nice design I run two maxspect gyres I wonder if they help keep the temperature down as there is a lot of surface agitation My tank doesn’t really get that hot

Yeah, fans still work well even with a shed load of powerhead movement

Great review! Thank you! Would this fit on the back of the Fluval Evo 13.5, if you remove the back lid, and angle the fan down? I'm considering this fan, over an Amazon cheapo double fan, similar to your Boyu fan. Which I would just rest on the top of the back section of the evo, without the back lid on.

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

Yep. And I can't get the 2 fan Boyu to fit as the light bracket is in the way...

@@ReefDorkXtra I'm keeping the stock lid with light (soon to be upgraded to an AI Blade after your review) so just need a fan that cools the back section, by sitting on top or attached to the rear pane of glass. Think I'll buy the Tunze. Thank you again for always making us hobbyist aware of all these great products!

My arse fell out last year, temp was hitting 27plus degrees so I fitted a DD Chiller it keeps the temp within •2 of a degree no problem

Hey question, I just bought the fan for my 120 gallon Cade system. I hooked it up but although quiet it seems like the fan output is quite weak? Idk if my fan is just not working at it’s fullest or if that is legit the strength on the fan. When you have your fan on do you notice water ripples across the water of your tank? Or is it just a gentle blow? I’d expect it to be ripping across the surface of my tank for this price.

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

You can see the ripples it creates in the test I setup - that's what I get on my 2 foot tank, but I think I'd want 2 on a 120g, which would be more than I'd be prepared to pay. But see how it actually performs - you might find it's still good enough to take the edge off temperature peaks.

@paullehane603 Жыл бұрын

Wondering how it would work with eurobraced tank? Could it just sit on top or would it need to be fastened in some way?

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

I think you'd just have to rest it on the bracing...

@cakesmithofnorwich Жыл бұрын

What would you suggest for the Fluval? Apart from get a bigger tank 😉

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

I haven't found one that fits in the back because my light bracket gets in the way. The Tunze does fit but that's expensive for a small tank. I'm currently using a house fan sat on the table next to the tank.

@vrx3teufel Жыл бұрын

Perhaps both fans would work better and it would be a more realistic scenario with a powerhead agitating the water? Our aquariums are not still bodies of water

I have a 20g Waterbox tank with a cover . Would you think it would be easy to fit this cooler. The design seems awkward.

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

I think you'd either have to rest it on the cover or make a very small cutout

@andymingni Жыл бұрын

Try a $15 clamp fan, 100% will beat both those fans.

Did you measure evap as a second data point?

@ReefDorkXtra Жыл бұрын

No, it wasn't intended as a proper experiment, just an indication to supplement a few days' experience. I'll do a longer term update later

@nowayout4567 Жыл бұрын

@@ReefDorkXtra It’s proper enough. Thanks for your efforts! I just asked since so many folks are looking to increase evaporation to accommodate higher kalk dosing. Could give another edge to one over tuther. Cheers!
