Chiller advice for shark tank

[rnelson]

I've got a couple of 240gal tanks that I'm about to sell and buy a single larger tank to house a horn shark and a ray. I'm trying to determine what size chiller I'm going to need. The ambient room temperature is 79-80, the tank volume will be 750 gallons (120X48X30)....I'm wanting to pull down to 73-75.....will be running VHO's or T5's. Would fans pull it down enough or do you think a chiller is required, and if so, what size?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if they have a big enough chiller, maybe one of their commercial chillers

Current USA has larger (1HP+) chillers. Pricey of course

My first thought was the 1hp.....but, since I'm only pulling down about 5 degrees, is it overkill?

FYI - There was a one HP for sale in the buying and selling forum.

1HP is perfect....it wont have to work as hard to get down to the temp you want.....

Thanks for the replies....Tyrinius, I didn't find the 1HP chiller ad.....

Tyrinius,

Disregard previous post....I found the chiller ad.....it helps to look in the right forum (I accidently went to the Trading forum instead) :rolleye1:
