Chiller opinions
Hey guys,
Looking into getting a chiller for my 40g (want to upgrade to a 120g soon so the chiller needs to accomodate the upgrade). Currently have a temp of 79 to 82 with an algae problem as a result. Has anyone any experience with this chiller? I like the options for heater and UV sterilizer. LINK Thanks for any help on this. |

If you are only swinging 79-82 I would not bother. My chiller kicks on at 81 and off at 79. But as far as future, I would advise a chiller on a bigger more lit up setup.
PS My chiller starts my heater if it drops to 78, but that doesn't happen often with my lights and pumps. I use a 1/4 hp chiller from Pacific Coast. |

If You are going to upgrade to a 120 You will need at least a 1/4HP model.
