I have an aquapod 24, currently it has ~160 watts of PC over it, I just acquired a bright and shiny MH reflector Lumen Arc III (mini). I've also got a 250 watt MH system laying around in a closet somewhere so i think i'm going to put that over the nano. I KNOW i'm going to need a chiler if i do this so i figured i would ask what is the best nano chiller for the bust bucks. I'm guessing nano custom's but would be interested in other people ideas.

I went with the jbj 1/10th. Its overkill, but when I bought it this past June they were $400, since then they've gone up to $500. But I initially had the 1/20th and it ran way too much.

Honestly that 250 is gonna be alot of light, unless you hang it high above the surface. I have a 150watt sunpod and when its on, the chiller kicks in pretty quick, but it does its job fast.

Plus the 1/10 would be able to handle at least a 40 gallon if I upgrade.
