Chiller recommendations
Hey, still in process of setting up a 50-60 gal system. our summers can reach up to 95ish in the room w/ the tanks.
I'm guessing I'll need something to cool it down. I'm also thinking of setting up another system, 50-60 gal aswell in the same room. I'm not sure how to go about this. perhaps the water will stay cool enough? I wasnt planning on having the two systems connected but they will be close so its possible. Another possibility is to use the A/C to keep the room at a decent temp, I'm thinking about 80 degrees.... except there's no temp control built into it... |

programable thermostats...
http://www.air-n-water.com/product/1F78-151.html looks like controlling the room temp is the cheapest option |

I have an Arctica chiller and they are great. But they will add quite a bit of heat to the room they are located in.
I've tried the A/C, but they need to be constantly on and are not as efficent as a chiller in cooling the tank.
