You'll love/hate having that big brute of a chiller - power pig/heat generator
I hope you have somewhere to run it where you can vent the hot air away from your system
I kept the 1/10HP chiller we ran on our 36g (was lots of overkill)
It's in my office beside the sump and runs all year. The heaters and the chiller keep the tank rock steady @ 79
But, with it this hot, the house hits 85+ and my office is even hotter (I blame the chiller)
With it that hot, the chiller can't function properly
We have 2 x 900w AC units for the whole house. One is in my little 10' office ...
I have to run our AC so I can sleep, so I currently have the house @ 79 (coincedence) and all is working fine, but the 900w AC unit in my office window has the room temp @ 74/75, so I have to wear a t-shirt in here
