Chiller reccomendations???

I will be purchasing a chiller in a few weeks for the new system that I am setting-up. I wanted to see what all of you think would be the best bang for the buck. The total system volume will be approximately 175 gallons. I can afford to get something top quality, but I also do not want to waste money either. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I have Pacific Coast 1/2 hp which is a chiller and heater combined. So far I have had excellent luck with this unit on two different tanks.

I'm happy with my JBJ Arctica. Very quiet. Looks nice, which is a plus, since it sits next to the tank in plain view.

Another thumbs up for JBJ Artica. I Have had mine for a few years, been running great.
