Tradewind Chiller .7 hp
I have a 2 year old Tradewind Chiller: www.tradewindchillers.com
The unit I have was an in-between unit they had. It's 7000btu or 7/10hp. Here are the specs on their .75hp unit, which is slightly larger:
TradeWind Chillers are built by a staff that has been building reliable chillers for over 25 years. Our focus is building the finest, most reliable chillers in the world. In fact, we only build chillers, and they are proudly built in the USA! We are dedicated to improving our already outstanding products.

We offer inline chillers from 1/5 hp up to 12 hp and drop-in style chillers from 1/5 hp up to our Super 1/3 hp.

We also offer an extended warranty for up to 5 years because we have total confidence in the components and the manufacturing of each unit. TradeWind Chillers feature: **Condensing unit made by the Copeland Corporation, the most reliable in the industry. **Molded threaded inlet and outlet on inline models **Rugged, powder-coated steel cover that resists corrosion **Super Flexible drop-in coil, the most flexible in the industry. **Easy to program electronic controller, available in single or dual stage and accurate up to 1 degree. **Well probe for controller sensor prevents freeze-ups and prolongs sensor life. **Insulated refrigerant lines to prevent condensation. **Side inlet and outlet on inline units makes for a clean installation, while also allowing the removal of the cover without disconnecting the plumbing. **Every unit built is water-run tested. IL-75-S 3/4 HP, UP TO 750 Gallon aquarium, 18-45 GPM flow rate, 90 lbs, Dims 23 X 21 X 15, 13.3 Amps, 115V, 7500 BTU
With all the above, you DO need to note that this unit is NOT designed to be an "under the tank" or "next to the tank" unit - it's just too big. It's about the size of a room air conditioner. It's also as noisy as a window unit. However, it DOES chill, and chill very well indeed. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T UNDERSIZE YOUR CHILLER!!! For tanks above 150-175 gallons.
The above unit is available on fleabay for $1340 delivered. I'll take $500.
P.S. Don't forget, my tank etal are still for sale!
