Tunze Chiller
Does anyone have any experience with a tunze chiller? I'm planning a 220 and I was wondering how good this chiller is? Thanks

I have one on a 120 gal. It is more than adequate. If you look closely at the details of BTU output on the comparable machines, you'll notice that the Tunze chiller is very respectable.
The controller built into the face of the unit is easy to use...intuitive. The unit pulls the tank temp down quickly and efficently. I would buy again. |

Thanks. Do y'all think this is enough for a 200 gal with a 40 gal sump?

I'm looking at one of these as well but I'm trying to decide if they are worth the extra money. One problem I might have with the Tunze is the way it vents the hot air. It looks like it's either out the top or out both sides.
Right now I have a Pacific Coast Imports CL-450 1/6th HP that's mounted in a hole I cut in the side of the house, so it vents outside. I'm not sure how I would accomplish this with the Tunze.
