Aqualogic are excellent chillers!! I have had several on large tanks. Right now I have a JBJ Arctica Titanium (on my 120g) that I am very satisfied with. However I do not know how there larger chillers are but I hear their industrial line is very, very good.

I have had an Aqualogic DeltaStar and was very satisfied. I currently have a Current Prime and like it too. You could not go wrong with either IMO.
Something to consider that is off topic... get a controller that regulates to the tenth of degrees. Some controllers go to a degree and the swing can get too bad. I have also noticed that mine comes on less with a .1 degree controller. |

i have a teco 1/3 hp chiller that is wonderful....well worth the bucks...they are a sponser here and i think they are offering 15 percent discount......it keeps my 125 rock solid at 77.

I have a JBJ Arctica Titanium 1/3 HP. Working 110% ideal, plus I think they have the best warranty.

You can find a 1/3 hp prime tower for about 550 bucks. Way more than I need, but I couldn't argue w/ the price.

You can't go wrong with an aqualogic chiller.I've been running one for the last 3 years,and it has worked flawlessly.
On your 300g system I would personaly go with a 1/2hp unit.The 1/3hp unit MAY be able to keep up,but it will likely be overworked in the summer time.The 1/2hp unit is the safest way to go imo.

Hello every one. I need to buy chiller for my 90gal system but I know nothing about them. Do they come with water pump build in or I have to ad one?
|

You put them inline or with separate powerhead

I am thinking about buying this one. I live in the NY state. The room has no A/C .Is this one ok or I need bigger one?

I agree. I run a 1/3 on my 90, but I wouldn't go smaller than 1/4 because I don't have central air.

I have central air and have 1/3 HP JBJ Arctica on my 90. Works great

I have a 1/4HP JBJ on a 115g, and no central air. But I'm closer to the ocean, so it never gets THAT hot or humid at my place. I think 88F one week last year.

I have to agree with the Aqualogic DeltaStar chillers......I have the 1HP.

I have one more question. What is better the drop in or the in line chiller?
|
#20
|
|||
|

Some people will say in-line, but after some time I switched to a separate powerhead for eaze of cleaning or disconecting it at all.

I have the aqualogic drop in chiller on my 240 and it works great. My tank is a constant 78 degrees.
