how high is your temp?
Mine has been 83-84 unchanged for many years? I don't know why? I have done a lot of research on chillers because of this.
I have not lost any livestock due to the temp. so a backed away from a chiller. But you want one 1/4 hp biger then your temp/tank size. this will keep it from running constantly (save electric) and allow you to grow if need be. Now keep in mind that chillers can be loud. I realy liked the corilife and the delta star in line chillers.
For the money and the service (back then) they were un-beatable.

On a second note I see them 4-sale on craigs list from time to time.

Look at TradeWind, Aqua Logic Delta Star and Pacific Coast. Also remember to look at in-line configuration, hp, db ratings and water flow.
