Selecting the right Chiller

Laggs2003 · 04-25-2007, 11:40 PM

I recently purchased a Red Sea Max 34 gallon all in one tank. Because I live in florida and it gets hot here im in need of a chiller. Im looking at getting the smallest possible chiller I can get at the least price. So far I have been looking around on the net to find a good deal. I found the 1/15 HP Prime Nano-Chiller, link here

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular chiller and I'm open for suggestions as far as picking out a different chiller.

Before purchasinga chiller, think about a fan!

I'm in FL as well, so is my sister - for x'mas got recieved a BioCube 29. I added an extra fan into the canopy - and that cools it down ... way down tot he point where she needs to pay attention onhow long she runs it.
Would be easily solved with a temp controller ... but the chiller will cost a decent amount of $, create lots of heat when running, be loud & consume decent amount of power.

take care,

For $50 more you could get a 1/10 PCI and it could handle that tank in its sleep.

I have a fan on the way im going to add to the cooling. Right now im just looking around when the fan comes ill set it up and see how much of a difference it makes.

on that small of a tank, if you place the fan properly .. it will make a difference.

Where abouts florida are you?

higly recommend this chiller. GREAT price, and quite the worker for it's size.

if you ever go to upgrade your tank, this chiller can handle 100+ gallon tanks! Great chiller
