What is the normal pull down that you need? 5 degrees? 10 degrees? More? This will have a huge impact on cost and your options.

Would a Aqua Medic Titan 150. work for me or is it to small?
would $125 be a fare price for a used one ?
Thanks ~

Be careful buying used chillers over the net, chiller internals are very easily damaged during shipping if not packed properly. And sometime people sell their broken chiller and claimed it was working fine before they shipped, how are you going to dispute that?

$150 sounds pretty cheap for a chiller.

BTW, "EASY- SMALL- Eficent & Inexpencive Chiller" - let me know when you find out who makes a chiller meeting those requirements:lol:. I'll buy a few.

no thermoelectric cooler (no freon)

suggest if money is the problem buy a 1/10hp chiller (they are always on ebay)
