WTB: chiller

[kdblove_99]

Probably a 1/5 or 1/4 would work. its for a 60 gallon tank,

or if something smaller will work let me know

probably 90 gallons total

I have one - but its not cheap.

I picked up a couple of these (AquaLogic CY-2 1/5 drop in style) - best chiller around, and ended up with an extra, still in the sealed box.

If interested, I can sell it for what I bout it for so that its no longer taking up space. - $640

You might be able to get away with a 1/10HP if you keep your ambient low enough in the summer months.

I have a 1/6hp Aquanetics chiller. Coils still get VERY cold.

I was going to use it for an 68 gallon system, but sold it recently.

$200 picked up in Berkeley, or I can commission someone to take it to the regional swap in dixon maybe.

think 1/6 would be plenty?

price looks great and if they could bring it too swap even better.

let me look it up

Sorry one last thing would i need a controller with this?

Is it just the drop in type?

Thanks,

Davey

You'll need a temperature controller, a single stage. If you have an AquaController or similar with a temp probe (which they come with by default) and X10 or DC that would work as well.

There's a lot of single stage controllers popping up for sale around here, or MarineDepot and like sells temp controllers. AquaMedic has one for about $60 from marinedepot:

Or go for a dual-stage and it can control your heater and chiller at the same time =)

Let me know =)

Mike,

thanks for the offer but unless you are kmart and take layaway that is too rich for me.

I have a JBJ artica 1/10th inline chiller. Used it one week on my 110 gallon. To many lights and pumps so I upgraded to a 1/5hp. Paid $470 asking $300 in the new box with all paperwork. Almost silent with built in temp controller, great package.
