I was under these weren't really a chiller but more of a heat exchanger.

I recently found two of those on ebay that were used by someone with a 55 gallon tank. They were selling 2 that weren't getting the job done in favor of a larger chiller unit.

Reef raf has a smokin deal on a used chiller right now. Worth every penny for peace of mind and a nice cool reef IMO.

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

I saw his post, and I was contemplating that - I know it's not too much for what I need, but I guess I'm looking for the budget solution

I guess the other concern in regards to an actual chiller is the heat cost for having it in the area - this is in our already toasty bedroom and I'm concerned that the heat the UNIT produces is going to take away from one problem and cause the next How much heat do these things produce?

BTW - Tangman, the 2 LTAs are doing smashingly well! How's that carpet?

Heck if its in your bedroom, why not invest in a small air conditioner. Probably the best and most "thrifty" way to go, you can usually get them for a couple hundred bucks or less
