Chiller for sale in LA

1/6 hp Westcoast Aquatics chiller with a dual stage Ranco controller for sale!!

Asking $300. The chiller was overhauled by Westcoast Aquatics last summer and the controller is less then I year old. It works very well in keeping my 80 gallon tank with two 175W MH light cool in +90 deg days. This is a flow thru type, you will need to feed it with a pump or have it plumb thru your overflow drain.

NO SHIPPING, pick up only and WILL NOT PART OUT these two items.

Do you have the specs on this chiller? Any pics of the Chiller? I also take theres nothing wrong with it and it works great? Also, how is this chiller compare to the 1/6 Aquanetics Chiller?

[cali_reef]

Sorry, no spec or manual with it. I will take some pictures tomorrow.

There is a built in temp gage and mechanical temp controller that are not working very accurately. But I am including a Ranco dual stage that works great. I don't know how it compares with the Aquanetics chiller.

Not too familar with chillers, but the problem with the built in temp gauge and temp controller won't have any affect with the ranco controller would it or how the chiller performs? Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can disabled the built in gauge and controller while using the ranco controller for a more accurate reading?

[cali_reef]

You are correct but I didn't disable anything. The built-in gage is out of battery and it is a pain to change. The machnical temp comtroller is turned downed to 75'F as a fail safe. The chiller works fine without the Ranco controller but it does not control the temp as accurate.

The Ranco controller will display the tank temp and you program it to turn on the chiller at xx'F with a x number of difference. I had it turning the chiller on at 80'F +2'F, It turns the chiller on when the tank temp reaches 82'F and turn the chiller off at 80'F. This is a dual controller so you can turn another device on, either a X'F above or X'F below a temp you set. I used my second stage to turn my heater on at 77'F - 1'F.

Marinedepot.com sell a same unit under the Aqua Logic / CustomSeaLife name for $149.
