Chiller Question

Strega · 08/21/2007, 03:59 PM

I'm currently running a Dual Satellite PC light and I'm going to upgrade to a Halide on my 20 long. But I dont know what kind of chiller would best. Any help would be appreciated

Depends on many things. If your going to be running a high wattage halide close to the water, then I would go for a 1/10hp or so. If your going to be running a lower wattage halide at a reasonable distance, and its vented well, you should be able to do just fine with a 1/20hp unit.

Going Halide later so probably the 1/10.
