Frag from Pacific Reef and question about chiller

[babyjess210]

Just got this frag from Pacific Reef in torrance and i love the color. Also they had a JBJ mini chiller 1/15, would that be enough for a 40 gallon tank. Without a chiller my tank got up to 82 last summer so i don't need alot of cooling.

I had a 1/10th on my 40. Not sure how long it stayed on for, but it definitely worked well. I know JBJ increased the prices on teh 1/10th, but if you can find one used, get that instead.

I say use a fan instead of chiller. Frog spawn looks a little pale?

I don't like the idea of a fan, too much evaporation. Unless you have a ATO.

I'd go for a 1/10 on your 40g. I have one on my 30g and it's very efficient.

I think with the 1/15th you might be pushing its limit. If you can, fork out the extra cash and go with the 1/10.

I have a 1/10th on my 24 gallon, works great.

I previously had a 1/20th and had to return it. Would run constantly.

Hey babyjess210,

I have a 1/10 HP Current USA Prime chiller that I will let go for $300, it retails for $400. I have been running it for only a few months and am about to get a larger tank soon. Here is a link for it. Let me know if you are interested.
