Very nice tank and great DIY work... Can u give more information on how the Evaporative Cooler works? Also, i'm a pinoy from the states...

My evaporative cooling is operating like cooling tower commonly used for water cooling of manufacturing plants. Cooling effect is dependent on air dryness, humid air in the sump where the cooler is located is continuously replaced by fresh air. From the main tank, water enter the drip tray and to the cooling pads. The pads are actually increasing the air and water contact surface and at the same time decreasing water drip rate, bigger area and longer time of cooling improve heat exhange.

Sorry, I'm still quite blurry about your cooling systems. I've looked at your equipments, but can you show the picture of it while its operates? So i can get the idea how it works. Thanx.

Beautiful. The PE on the Acans is stunning. Its nice to see someone putting that much work and planning into a 30. And the results look great.

Nanokiper, if you could take a look at my red house build thread and critique my manifold system I would appreciate it.

Modified auto top off controller. Float switch activates timer ( set at 5mins)thru DC relay, timer activates top off pump. When the preset time elapse without shutting off the float switch, buzzer will be activated to alarm the abnormal operation of the system.

Hi Fin goby, this one survived out of three fishes we bougt from the exporter. The other two were probably eaten by the brittle star.
