Do you use a chiller?

[Andy]

Hi everyone

Just wondering how many of you use a chiller to keep your tank temperature stable.

If so:

1. What size tank do you have?
2. What kind and amount of lighting do you have?
3. What brand of chiller and what hp do you use?
4. Is it an in line or drop in model?

The reason I ask is that I will soon be switching over from 880 watts of VHO/NO to 1480 watts of MH/VHO. My tank temperature currently ranges between 79 and 81 F. My hood is enclosed and contains 2 Ice Cap fans. I am concerned that I might have a temperature issue following the switch. Would you consider using a chiller with this setup or would you look at alternatives.

Thanks,

Andy
