I have an aquapod 24 with a fuge in chamber 1 and i'm in need of a chiller, will i be able to run the nanotuners ICA with the fuge back there?

Also, how many degrees will it bring by tank down, right now my tank runs up to 83-84 degrees.

where are the nanocustoms guys at?

2 weeks ago I bough the hang on tank version of the ICA for my girlfriend's picotope 3G and a canister that adds about 1G average temp is 83-84F and it dropped to 80F Not bad but its a 4G tank... I though it would drop to 78 or something because of the total galons... I'm not sure the difference between the 24G aquapod version and the hang on tank.... You better check that out because just 4F in 4 gallons will not be the same with almost the same temp in a 24G

Hi Mic

The ICA should be able to give you a 3-4 F pulldown if you run the right pump (60-90 gph). You should be able to put it in either chamber 1 or 2 (just flip the side you install it on in the instructions).

Sammy - you should be getting at least

100BTU / (4 x 8.2) = 3 F every hour in a vessel that small. What pump are you running with it. Are you running it in line to the canister? If so, the performance is probably being affected by a different flow rate.

Also, I saw that sketch/comments on that other post. That idea is good, but the best heat transfer happens with lots of turbulence. Those waterblocks are designed for a specific flow rate, so that heat transfer is maximized.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I'm PM'd you to not disturb the topic but the message couldn't be set. Sorry for bothering Mic. I'm using a resun power head. I think flows 200L/H. I was a little dissapointed because of the temp pull down in 3-4 gallons. Here are some pics of how I installed the ICA



I have the heater too because the room has A/C and at night drops to 72F. Do you think i need more flow through the chiller? Thanks I really appreciate your help
