![]() Hey folks... here's my 2 bits worth.... (1/2 a cent US..) I bought one of these a month ago... tank temp was fluctuating between 77 and 85 degrees, and summer was ahead yet! I have A/C so don't need a huge temp pulldown, (maybe 5 degrees C on a 90G). I have a 1/2 HP chiller that I need to get a titanium drop in coil for, then a temp controller... then I ran across this little unit. I hemmed and hawed and finally decided for the ease of use to go for it. A month later I could hardly be happier! This small chiller now keeps my tank consistently between 77 and 79 degrees, and has hardly run at all. The onboard temp controller is +- 2 degrees, but my range is as stated. I was worried I may have been underpowering for a chiller, and maybe I would be if I was running 400W lights, but so far this is one of the best investments I have made for my systems. Extremely easy to use and set up, comes with controller built in and an outlet capable of handling up to 600W of heaters. At $799 from Island Pet Zone in Duncan, I probably paid a few hundred more than jury rigging my 1/2 horse, but the ease of mind was well worth it! They also make a 1/4 horse for up to 125G.
