Use this on my 20g and keeps the water temp right around 79-80 even when the room temp gets up to about 95

when looking for a chiller
LOOK at the number below ambient temp (room temp) that the chiller can drop the water temp .
If your Needed water temp is 10 deg below room temp . Then the chiller says it can drop the water temp 10 deg below ambient temp. THAT Chiller is prob too small because it has no head room...
Look for something that will drop the temp twice the amount you need below the room temp.. This will make the chiller work less So it will drop temp faster and last longer. as well as use less electric ..
As far as brands i really do not know . Mine is a VIA Aqua that is 15 years old and Works flawless all this time.... NOT Saying to buy there brand. Just stating what i have..
Good Luck
