just tagging along, I want to know what the consensus of RC prefer - in-line or drop-in. I am also trying not to use up any of my pump's return power.

I think drop-ins have alot of advantages over in-line chillers(no secondary pump, or extra plumbing needed, plus less chance for disastrous leaks). CSL ranks high, so do Aquamedic units in reliability. There are other great brands too. Many will have their own personal preference. I personally feel though that chillers are quite pricey for what they are, still a nice addition to maintaining rock steady tank temps, especially when corals are involved which I find dont always respond well to quick temp swings.
