chiller recommendation?

Was wondering if you could recommend a chiller?

Something preferably quiet but more importantly doesn't make too much heat. In-line is preferred but a drop-in might be manageable. Tank's only 60G so shouldn't need a large unit.

Pacific Coast CL-280. 1/10 horsepower. Reliable, affordable, and very quiet.

I just received the same chiller from PA going to hook it up after work tomorrow. going to run it on a 75gal. tank.
I heard a lot of good things about this chiller.
I will post when I get it running and let you know about the noise. that was my main issue with a chiller, my tank is in my living room and don't need any extra noise.
thank Jay PA came through again.
just cant let the wife know how much money I spent this week at your store, she would blow a casket.

what about a chiller for 200 gallons

Hi Dean,
A 1/4 horse chiller from Pacific Coast will pull down a 180 10 degrees. The 1/2 horse will pull down a 450 10 degrees. Tradewinds make a 1/3 horse chiller that would work well for you. It comes w/ free shipping as well, though the initial cost is somewhat more.

what is the cost of the tradewinds 1/3 hp and is it drop in?

There is a 1/3 drop in available from Trade Winds. $750.95.
