    Question Pacific Coast Imports Chillers

    I have a 215 tank that is almost fully in the garage that doesn't have the best insulation. I need a chiller that can stand up to the demand, I;ve seen teh Pacific Coast brand and wanted to see if anyone has used a chiller by them or have any other suggestions.

    I use a CL650 for my 120G seahorse tank. It is reliable, well-built and easy to install and set up. For a 215G, you'll probably want the next larger size, depending on how much temperature reduction you are needing...

    Where are you going to put the chiller? I would not put it into an unvented garage. You are looking for heat exchange, and a 110 degree garage won't be good for your chiller. I'd also suggest that you go larger than you think you will need. You probably need at least a 1/2 hp unit.
