blueether Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 1/2hp chiller packed up the other day went from 16c to 22.8 overnight mine hit 22 the other day when the intake to the pump on the chiller got blocked, at least there was a little flow through it.

Chchbirdo Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi all, I'm new to the forum and am considering keeping Red-finned bullies or maybe uplands as i know a spot to get uplands where they are in a lake with 1000's of them easily accessed but before i do this i want to make sure i am in a position to look after them properly. Would a chiller be needed/necessary in Christchurch? My room is in a relatively shaded spot, with dappled light through a tree only occurring during the morning hours. Have a good breeze usually with windows + Door open and can be in a spot out of direct sunlight. Thanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think today and the next couple of days would be a good trial (I believe the Canterbury Nor Wester is coming). Get a bucket of cold water and sit it in the spot you are considering placing the new tank. Test the temp every few hours and see where it gets to. Keep going right into the evening. My chiller here really kicks in around 6pm as the house starts to be closed up for the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chchbirdo Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yeah, its been really warm the last few days and its not even properly summer yet, including in my room. Will need to re-assess what i want to do i think. Thanks for the advice guys! (On a side note found some awesome Koaro and Torries last night near Kaikoura... all 150mm +!)
