Chiller Question

[stole2]

I have a 30 gal and looking to purchage a 250W Sunpod

With the increase heat should I buy the artica 1/15 or 1/10 chiller?
The 1/10 is rated for a bigger tank but my thought is that it will last longer and be on for shorter periods of time.

before you buy any chiller, first try fans. They always work for me to lower the temp up to like 6 degrees (and if i used a bigger one, it would be more

i had a 250w on a 20gal with only a fan in the canopy so i agree with the above

Too funny that you are from Mesa. I use to live there and went to AZ State...and Westwood. LIve in Texas now.

Thanks for the feedback!

oh, i'm not sure if they really allow westwood people on here or not lol jk

But ya, just throw a fan blowing under the light (not on the light itself...bad for the bulb) or have it pointing right at the water, or maybe even both lol.
