    Default Need a chiller system

    I just set up a nano (maybe pico) tank and need help controlling the temp. My house is air conditioned to around 82 F and gets as hot as 85 F. Someone recommend me a chiller and where to find one. I can't post in the wanted forums for some reason.

    whats you temp of the water. i dont see why you would need a chiller for a small tank like that if it is in your house.

    Thera are some mini chillers but require drilling or in your case maybe drilling into filter area but that is very hot for a tank

    you could look for a Peltier and just attach it to back of tank.

    I would think it would be cheaper to lower your temp to around 79 in your home, than purchase a chiller for a nano tank?

    Thanks,

    I'll take that into consideration. I figured that a chiller system will help solve large fluctuations in temperature. I've seen the thermo-electric systems but have read that they are almost ineffective.
