chiller question

[clayspst]

i have a question about chillers. i am going to mia so i think i will need one but not sure yet. anyways when it says max tank size should i rely on that number? i know depending on the skimmer the tank size means nothing. i have a 90 gal with two 250H and 2 vho's with no temp problem. my ceiling fan does just fine. i guess i am just looking for your expericanse or any facts you have about them.

1/4 horse should works fine for you. Its better to have one larger than what you need so it can bring the temp down faster and run less frequently

Hey Clay don't worry about your posts, you are going to Florida you will be lucky to find anyone who graduated the 3rd grade out there. You will fit in fine

As far as chillers just buy an air conditioner and don't worry about the electrical bills.

what would be cheaper? running a chiller or an a/c?

its cheeper to run chiller go with a lower gallon per hour pump it lets the water cool as it goes through the chiller if pump is to big it just rushes through to fast
