kpm Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi, I have a question about the water flow through my chiller. Ihave the Ice Probe Chiller and there proportional temprature controler. I have read that the flow should be low so Ibought the Mini-Jet 404 pump. Its rated at 25 - 106 GPH and at the 12" lift I'll be useing its good for about 23 - 85 GPH. I suspect the answer to my question of best flow rate is dependant on these variables: Ice Probe will be behind the tank in a water jacket 24 Gal tank (Nano Cube 24) 22.5 Watts Total heat input from my 3 pumps Stock lighting / 72 watts ( Will go to 132 watts soon as the chiller up and running) Stock twin fans in the Nano Hood Thanks for your time, Just wondering if I should use 23 or 85 GPH ?

shag26272 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 why not try both, I think the minijet has a slider on it where it would even be set in between Link to comment
