I've had the 1/4 hp Pacific Coast chiller and now have the 1/2 hp chiller. The 1/4 hp chiller was working overtime trying to keep my 280 gallon reef cool. I have the 1/2 hp chiller in a separate room where noise and heat is not an issue. I would not want either in the same room as my tank for these reasons. Overall, I like the chiller design. The temperature tolerance could be more sensitive. I run a Mag 950 on mine.
