    Hello everyone,

    This is Hussain from Kuwait And I've been reading about scrubbers since long time and I think it will be so useful in my country since our weather is HELL in summer +55 degree Celsius in sun (Thats around 115 Fahrenheit). Water change is almost impossible unless you have a big storage container.

    I will be around reading on the forum.

    Yeah, how do you keep a tank cool in that weather? I would think that even with A/C running 24/7, you would still need a chiller...

    About +70% of our houses have HVAC cooling system, and its running 24/7 only in summer, winter is kinda cold but not that much, lowest temp is 0 or -1 Celsius (32f) no need for for water chiller at all, maybe only if you run a MH 400w. worst thing in my country you can't find all the pipe fittings.

    Soon I'm starting a new project 190gallon 200cm x 60cm x 60cm (78"x23"x23") all glass (glass is cheap here they get it from Saudi Arabia), just ordered schedule 80 bulkheads from BRS, it takes around 3 weeks to arrive (We're having companies which offer mailbox in the US) in the order i add this mailbox and that company will ship it to Kuwait. 1 LB shipped from that mailbox to Kuwait costs around 12 US dollar. :rolleyes:

    Yeah I've shipped to Saudia Arabia and UAE and IIRC those took a while to get there.
