At 7:26 you have set the P0 to Cool function, at 7:45 you have set the temperature to 25 degree and the machine starts its function. It shuts down when it reaches 25 degree. In which function do we need to set the trigger temperature to switch it ON again?

[@gouthammanoharan4225]

Please ignore my comment. I got the information. P1 temperature difference helps in setting the second trigger.

[@Motorola14-dl7bg]

Upgrade: you can use 2 Peltier pads, one on top of the other, one with 12v and the other with 6v, the 12v pad will cool the hot side of the 6v pads and thus increase the cooling capacity

bro i cannot find 200mmx100mm alumunium heat sink anywhere. should i use 2 100mm alumunium heat sinks? but how should i attach them together???? i have some white silicon thermal compound which is used for LEDs.

[@madebykm]

Yes you can use 2 100mm heat sinks and attach them using nuts & bolts and two small pieces of 4mm acrylic sheet from the sides. You can also use a 12 inch x 100mm (minimum) heat sink. The cooling procedure will work better if you use a larger heat sink. You can also search the markets where electronic products and LED lights are sold.

Great video very detailed on how to build. Why did you a a heat sink on top of the water tank? I am talking about the opposite side of the peptide cell of the tank.

[@madebykm]

The smaller heat sink was installed to enhance the cooling and to attach the Peltier module and water block to the bigger heat sink.

Thanks 👍

[@dineshj8055]

Hello Bro, thank you so much for the video. I have gone through the description and I am having a 120 litre tank. For this if I just increase and stack 2 or 3 peltiers together will that be enough ? or I need to increase the heat sink and the fans as well?. Kindly let me know. Thanks 🙏

[@madebykm]

Yes, you’ll need a much larger heatsink and more cooling fans in order to maximize the cooling of the hot side of Peltier modules. The cooler the hot side of the Peltier is kept, the better the device will be able to cool the aquarium water. Additionally, you’ll need a thermostat capable of handling the Load of your Peltiers, cooling fans, etc. Thanks.

Super Idea. Brother when u make it for a 20 gallon tank u have mentioned to use a 12 V 20 Amp SMPS. So when we put both the peltier modules together it should be connected to 20 Amp output or when both the peltier module and both the cpu fans to be wired in parallel together and then hooked on to tge 20 Amp output ?

[@madebykm]

Yes, first connect all positive wires (usually red) of the Peltier modules and fans and connect to the positive terminal (+) of the SMPS, and negative wires (usually black) to the negative terminal (-). Thank you.

Never mind got the answer. Max current draw will be around 10A for this setup, so 15A socket it is. As for the copper cooling block, while it is more efficient, copper is harmful for fish and shrimp

The Peltier module will not run continuously, it will turn off after reaching the target temperature, as it is controlled by a temperature controller or thermostat. Therefore, it will not get damaged and hence it does not need to be replaced frequently. Just use a large heatsink and cooling fan on the hot side of the Peltier and keep it as cool as possible.
