That Bubblemaster skimmer is a beast. I thought I was happy with the Euroreef I used to have but IMO it doesn't come close to this BM........

The chiller has only came on once. I put the lights down right on top of the water turned them up to full power (ballast is dimmable) and left it on starting at 8:00 am. The water finally reached 81 degrees at 8:15 PM and the chiller turned on. It only ran for about 15 min and brought the water back down to 78 degrees.

Now that was just a test. I will of course never leave my lights on for that long of a time. I really don't think running my lights under normal conditions and my house never being warmer that 75 degrees that my chiller will even turn on. I quess it'll be good to have just in case though. I'm very pleased with it. I was kind of worried at first with the chiller only being the size of a 10 gallon aquarium. It was pretty quite when it came on too.
