Mr. Microscope Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Awe. Sorry to hear about the equpiment failure and tear down. Hope to see you venture down the cold water path again some day. Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Just one of those things I guess mike. I may start it up again with a 1/10HP chiller if I can find one cheap, but it won't be for a while. Love the tank and I do look forward to getting it up again, better than before Thanks for your support Mike, you rock I fully understand the malfunction of a single unit and wish there was some type of backup. I am wanting to find and make a truly nice cold water system like the one Stu has but those chillers are just too darn expensive. No one wants to dish out the money for a truly good chiller and that is where the problem is. The chiller is the heart of these systems, not the lights! I have about 2 more months before I reopen Micro-Reefs and in that time I am on a search for a truly affordable chiller for the masses. Hope I succeed as it would really open up this market. Making the tank is not the issue as I can drop the price of my build, it is truly the darn chiller! uggh! Link to comment

I wonder if China doesn't have something at a lesser cost. ebay here I come LOL. Link to comment
