Question: Urgent HELP!!- hailea chiller set-up?

I have just received my hailea chiller by courier but I never knew i needed a pump and hoses as the are not with the chiller?, what do I need to install the chiller?, the weather here is hot and i need the chiller installed asap. Can anyone help me on what to buy?

hoses? connectors pump??? I have no idea

Oh btw I just have a rectangular fish tank with an internal filter,

Thanks Heaps

you're in luck! bunnings is open late, you should be able to find what you need there.

all you need is sufficient tubing to run the water to and from the chiller, and a few hose clamps.

if you have a external canister filter, run the chiller after the outlet of the filter and then back into the tank, or if you have a internal power filter, run the chiller intake from the outlet of the internal filter.

Thanks chris , but dont I need a pump to run from the tank?, the instruction manual is vague, I'll head to bunnings first chance i get tommorow, my house mate home tomoz so will continue the frozen water bottle rotine till i get home.

Depending on your internal filter, you can use your filter to pump the water into the chiller.

Thankyou Chris

I was surprised to learn that Chillers don't contain their own internal pumps/filters as well seems a logical thing to have in there to me, who knew

Chris is right your little internal might be powerful enough to pump it into the chiller but I suspect it will not have enough power to get the water through it and back into the tank as well .... Good news is I suspect I will have an aqua one canister up for sale in the next few weeks :lol: Hubby may want to keep it though, he's like that

I'm going to have to get they Hailea 1200L for my new tank when it get's here BUT the filter I have on the adults tank now, that thumping big grey cannister on the floor, will NOT cope with pumping it through the chiller and back to the tank again so I have to upgrade that as well to a huge 2000L/H one they really should warn you about all this when you order a chiller

Good luck!
