Chiller question

What kind of chiller would I need for a 30 gallon tank? I need one for a tank I am setting up in my office.

A guy on CL is selling an old Aqua Logic 1/5HP Coil Chiller. Any idea if that would work? Where's the best place to get chillers?

Whats your target temperature? That sounds like too large of a chiller. Take a look at the iceprobe, or another thermo-electric chiller. I'd you're trying to get the water to 50*, then the Aqua Logic is fine, otherwise, it'll cause too large of temperature swings
