Is this Chiller strong enough?

[rhkingsfan]

I have an 80 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. Given the live rock, I would assume that my entire system probably has 80 gallons total. The tank is in my living room, which runs between 70-88 degrees during the year.

I found a deal on an Artica 1/10 HP chiller. Do you think this chiller will be enough to meet my needs? Thanks.

What type of wattage do you have for your lighting?
IMO, I think that might be too small for when the ambient temps get up to 88 as you described.

You're probably right. I'm running 2 175 MHs, but only in the evening/night.

I would opt for something bigger. My ambient temp is about the same as yours and I have 1/5 and somedays I think it's too small.
