I have a 42g tank with an Aqua Euro chiller (1/13 HP I think). I've had the chiller (and tank) for three years or so. The chiller is starting to have some problems. The temperature sensor is way off. The water is 78, and the chiller thinks it's 84! This brand of chiller only lets you adjust the temperature up or down 5 degrees. And dialing down the full 5 degrees brings me to the 84 degree reading (i.e. I can't get it to calibrate any closer).
And now the thing seems to run at weird intervals.
I'm pretty much done with it. Should I buy a new one? Or just go without a chiller?
My tank is in my office. Office AC runs during the day, turns off at 5:00 pm (same time as my lights). I checked last night around 8:00 pm and it was only 81 degrees in my office. It was over 90 degrees outside still (hot in CA!). The office is well insulated and I close the windows.
I'm inclined to just ditch the chiller and deal with higher temps in the summer evenings and weekends.
Any thoughts?
