Thread: Chiller Ideas??

  1. #1

    Default Chiller Ideas??

    I'm looking at purchasing a chiller for my reef tank. I have a 55 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump fuge. The tank temp fluxuates from anywhere 81 degrees to 86 degrees depending on the house temp. We don't run the ac all too much, because thats too expensive. I've tried evap cooling but that doesn't work too well.

    I want to find a chiller thats dependent, nothing too big, and fairly affordable. So I guess what is a 'good' size for a 85 gallon system? What is a dependable chiller out there that is quite enough for a bedroom? I'd love to hear your experiences with them as well ^_^

    I had one similar to this on my old 75 gallon and it worked fine, even during a period in the middle of summer when my A/C was out over the weekend.

    That one along with my new drop in are all about as loud as a window a/c unit when they kick off. I will exhaust hot air into your bedroom though while on.
