I want to get a chiller before spring (it's already getting into the 80's hear in Texas). I am running 330w of VHO in a canopy and I don't want to have to keep the AC/fans running all the time just for the tank. I am thinking a chiller would solve the problem and allow me to keep the temp nice and steady without all the trouble.
Would the JBJ Artica 1/5 HP be a good choice? In the peak summer months, the house will get into the high 80's during day when nobody is home. I also might get a bigger tank at some point, so I would like to buy a little more than I need.
Also, these run about $700 with shipping from Marine Depot and Dr. Fosters, but I found a place on eBay (atafish.com) that sells them for about $540 with free shipping. That seems too good to be true does anyone know anything about them? Where is the best place to buy these?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
