Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / August 2003Chiller
Hi guys. How's it going? Can anyone point me to a web site that discusses all the various chillers on the market? How about over-flow units? Top off devices? Proper way to introduce a starfish to a system? Thanks!!! http://reefcentral.com/ would be a good start. kc > Hi guys. How's it going?

Let me chime in on my new chiller. I have a 150 gallon reef in which the flow-through chiller plumbing runs on the exterior of the house and the chiller is located in the garage. I insulated the PVC pipes, but I thought MORE is better than not enough, so I got a 1/2 hp Pacific Coast chiller. It was hundreds less than other 1/2 hp real aquarium chillers constructed with titanium. In conclusion, could not be happier, works like a charm. I can now keep my cabinet doors closed (used to keep them open to help cool), and removed a very noisey fan in the hood. Temp in the tank ranges from 78.3 to 79.4. I would NOT recommend this chiller if you are looking for a quiet one however. larger is not always better. short cycling a compressor leads to very quick mortality. > Let me chime in on my new chiller.
