I have a chiller that I got used awhile back. I just turned it on for the first time and it makes noise and it seems like it's on. The temp reading is accurate but I left it on for more than an hour and it didn't cool the tank 1 degree. I think the refrigerant needs to be charged but I'm not sure, it's been in storage for a long time. If anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be I'd welcome them.
I tried a fan on top of the tank before I put the fish in to see how much it would cool and it brought the temp down by 8 degrees total, about 1.5 degrees per hour. Is this a reliable amount that I will be able to count on even if the ambient temp is above 90, or will I get less cooling with the fan when it's hotter out? The humidity is usually very low here.
Thanks,
Mike
