My new chiller is DIY, using 4 pelter, my previous one only uses one pelter, and most pelter use 12V, and the fans are also 12V. There is two ways to power, either 12V DC or 100-250V AC For 12V, using a 100V 250V to 12V power supply, with this you need a 12V temperature controller in between the pelter unit and the power supply, for this the power supply is always on, so you use a lot of electric. For a 100-250V setup, the temperature controller goes after the power supply, the temperature controller switches the power supply and saves electric.

Really pleased to hear that some of the shrimps survived and are doing well ATM! It is also good to hear you haven't been put off by the previous incident either! At least you have readily available sources of fabulous shrimps so you shouldn't have a problem re-stocking there? I was looking at the fan sets over here in case we get a lot of heat but probably won't get anything new like that until I am sure ALL else is going well, so probably something for next summer in reality as we are two thirds through our summer already anyway. Also not sure how it all works as they seem to be 12V???????. Hope the new chiller works well so you don't have a repeat disaster? Simon

Its seem my new tank is quite stable now, I know because I have these panda loaches, they are very sensitive to water condition, I've keep these before, and they have died within days. As for my shrimps, they seem ok, no dead shrimps ATM, I will buy a few more Red Wine next week and try. I've also ordered a new water chiller, more powerful one, the present one is quite weak.
